On Thursday, February 4th, 6:30 – 7:30 pm, Councilmember Tommy Wells and ANC Commissioner Mary Beatty will co-host a follow-up meeting to the December community meeting related to the recent increase in armed car-jackings.

At the December meeting, MPD Chief Lanier committed additional police forces to the area and we heard from many neighbors witnessing an increase in the visibility of officers and communication from MPD. However, there has been another recent car-jacking in the same area and many neighbors remain understandably anxious and concerned.

The meeting will be held in the same location as the first meeting -- Options Public Charter School, at the corner of 14th and E Street, NE in the auditorium.

The follow-up meeting will provide the community an opportunity to hear an update on progress and discuss what more may be needed. MPD officials and representatives from the Mayor’s office will be in attendance to help share new information and join in the conversation.
