What’s the Issue
• Crime in the neighboring area (Census Track 21) is up 138% to 46 crimes per 1000 in 2006 vs. 2005. (Note: 82% vs. 2004)
• Two known issues:– Local: People from neighboring communities use the
MP recreational facilities, and also cut through the neighborhood in vehicles (two shootings in 2007)
– Distant: The neighborhood has been targeted by distant organizations for auto theft and burglary. (88% increase in auto thefts in 2006)
What to do?
• Ask East Palo Alto PD and Palo Alto PD to get involved. This issue can not be resolved only within the context of MP.
• Change MPPD policy on dispatch in Beat 2 . – My understanding is that current policy is to
dispatch 2 officers to Beats 1 and 3 and only 1 or two officers to Beat 2 (includes The Willows)
• Beat 1 (West of El Camino)• Beat 2 (El Camino to 101)• Beat 3 (East of 101)
What to do?
• Institute some traffic calming measures to further reduce cut-through traffic through the Willows. (in particular from North to South)
• Increase MPPD headcount as requested. – My understanding is that MPPD has asked for
additional in order to staff a motorcycle patrol focused on traffic issues.
• Create a strike-force to deal with the vehicle theft issue. (Include state and federal authorities as needed)
