[UC] Crime Prevention Event provided by 18th District, Friday March 29th, at 5800 Walnut Street (Sayre High School)

[Fran Byers]

http://www.westphillylocal.com/2013/03/27/learn-about-crime-prevention-programs-this-friday/



The 18th Police District is organizing a crime prevention event this Friday, 
March 29, where community members can learn about new programs designed to help 
combat property related crimes. The event will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 
p.m. at the Sayre High School parking lot located at 5800 Walnut Street.
The goal of the event is to spread awareness and encourage participation in the 
following programs (information provided by Philly Police Blog:
OPERATION I.D. is a Property Identification Program developed to aid in the 
prevention of crime and identification of personal property in the event that 
it is lost or stolen (e.g. cell phones, computers televisions, GPS, DVD 
headrests, car stereos, etc.).
The B.O.N.D. [Business Owner Notification Decal] Program is a program that 
registers local business owners with the police department in the event of a 
burglary or other emergency and ensures the owner is contacted immediately.
The S.A.V.E. [Stolen Auto Verification Effort] Program is an effort in which 
citizens register their vehicles with the police department for the application 
of a special decal to their car window. Enrollment in the program permits 
officers to stop their vehicles and conduct an ownership investigation when the 
vehicle is being operated on the streets of Philadelphia between the hours of 
12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., seven days a week.
VIN ETCHING [Vehicle Identification Number Engraving] is an effort to prevent 
theft of vehicles and theft of glass parts from vehicles in which the VIN is 
professionally etched on the car windows. Etching can be done on side mirrors 
and on some headlights.
All the programs are free to the public and are very effective, according to 
police. Residents are invited to participate in all or some of them. Friday’s 
event will also provide other crime prevention information.
For more information please contact P/O Andrew Campbell (CPO) or P/O Mike Davis 
(CRO) at 215-686-3180 or 215-686-3181.

Subject: [UCNeighbors] crime stats for University City

After the November thread on UC crime, & the meeting held by the UCD at 
Calvary at that time, someone on this list pointed me in the direction 
of the website
spotcrime.com
& I signed up for a daily report of all crimes within 1 mile around my 
house at 46th & Springfield.  The UCD had checked on reported crimes 
north of Baltimore for their meeting, so what was happening south of 
Baltimore wasn't clear then.

I've been really surprised to find that, according to this website, 
there have been almost no crimes south of Baltimore in the area 
considered to be University City in the past month!  This is especially 
interesting because the old wives' tale, "don't live south of 
Baltimore," still comes up occasionally in the real estate business.

Others on this list might be interested in signing up for this free 
daily crime summary email.  I think it's helpful to have a clear 
picture of what's actually going on.

[UC] Crime alert : Teens robbed at Gunpoint

[campio...@juno.com]

Last night, Friday 3/5, two 16 year-old girls were robbed, at gunpoint, near 
their 46th and Osage homes.
The criminal was a white male, about 5'7" tall.
Fortunately, the girls kept their cool and handed over their cell phones and 
wallets on demand.
Upon collecting the items the thief walked between them and disappeared east on 
Osage.
The Police responded quickly.  They picked up someone dressed like the suspect. 
 The victims hope that young man forgives the temporary inconvenience.
This morning the 3 year-old cell was found and returned by a neighbor near 44th 
and Osage.  Thank you!
The better phone, a blackberry is still missing.
I am reporting this at the request of one of the mothers.  I hope I got all the 
details correct.  I confess to being very angry that anyone has to put up with 
this kind of crap.  And I am especially fond of both beautiful young girls.  I 
wish they did not have to be so "street smart" but I am glad they are.
Be safe!

[UC] Crime alert

[Horowitz, Tina]

A neighbor told me that a friend of hers was robbed in the middle of the day at 
40th and Market.  A man came up to her pretending to be limping and also 
pretending he was from another country and didn't speak English.  He had a 
letter in his hand and acted like he needed help reading it.  Once she got 
closer, he pulled out a gun.  He took her wallet and then made her go to an ATM 
and withdraw money from her account. This is all I know about it now.

[UC] crime in the Hood

[Karen Heenan]

As far as I know, this information was only posted to the other list, but it's 
the kind of info everyone needs - but doesn't want - to hear:
 
 It's shocking to hear, but one of our friends was kidnapped coming home from 
the art opening at Abbraccio on the 21st about 10 pm. Two young men accosted 
him at the corner of 49th and Pine and began beating him while a third pulled 
up in a car, they forced him into the car, robbed him, drove him around and 
eventually decided to dump him, battered though alive, in northwest Philly. 
Unfortunately he was able to provide a good description of neither his 
assailants nor their vehicle to the police, other than that they seemed to be 
of high school age.As things seem to be getting better around here, the mugging 
on Walnut, the one on Warrington and things like this appear to remind us that 
we still live in a dangerous place. Just an alert to keep your head up and keep 
an eye on the street, keep a look out for your neighbors and people behaving 
suspiciously (like forcing someone into a car). These people are still out 
there. AND ALSO THIS:
 On the tail of this, a neighbor reported this morning that a young 
boy,probably pre-high school, assaulted him at the 46th street stop as hewas 
getting out of the train yesterday. It involved a quick punch to theback of the 
head and much pointing and laughing as the train drove off.This is what passes 
for fun in a household with no game console Isuppose. I imagine Darwin will 
take care of many of these people, but it's ashame that others have to suffer 
through this behavior. 

[UC] Crime : Catch Frank's "New detective"

[Elizabeth F Campion]

 
In light of so many recent crimes, this old post of Frank's might give
folks entree to one of the people being paid to solve the problem.
There are some good exchanges on the blog.
 
Note: Crime occurs everywhere there are criminals, not UC.
Ed, the guy who thwarted a Burglar here in UC was robbed, in an upscale
bookstore in a 'good' neighborhood, in Dublin, Ireland, in July 2007.
I am headed to Paris for a few days in the fall (my first trip to Europe)
with a group of nuns.
Our itinerary is museums and cathedrals, and a big warning is, Europe is
overrun with clever pick pockets.
A recent rape (of an elderly woman, in her home) occurred in "safe"
Hatboro.

Subject: [UC] New detective
 
 
A Philadelphia Policeman posted this to PhillyBlog. I feel certain there
are people on the list who have a thing or two to say: 


I just wanted to inform the readers of the University City/West Philly
thread that I have been reassigned to the Special Investigations Unit of
SWDD.


Myself and another detective are now responsible for 18th District
Robberies and Burglaries. The 18th District covers south of Market St
from 30th to Cobbs Creek. The southern border is to Baltimore Ave in most
cases to give you a general idea of the area.


Being that we are going to be held repsonsible for robberies in the area,
I would prefer that we didnt have that many to handle in the first place.
I would rather be proactive in preventing robberies as opposed to showing
up after the fact every time and trying to solve them.


Not living in the area, I would like to hear some opinions from residents
on how to protect you. What I mean is, what areas do you avoid? Where
have you had bad experiences and where do you feel the least safe in
general? I can look at crime maps and guess, but I prefer to hear from
you.


I have my ideas already about what to do at a certain spotgetting
lighting and a greater police presence at the 46th St El stop being
number 1. There are too many robberies on Farragut St regarding Septa
commuters and if you go out there at night you can see why.


Any and all input is appreciated and welcome.

Re: [UC] Crime Spree

[missthin]

Hi

This also happened to at least one person today on 45th St between Sansom
and Chestnut.  There was a police car blocking the sidewalk while the
officer was talking to an obviously upset and angry young man.  The driver's
side window was gone.  Don't know what, if anything was taken.

Considering this was done today while there was a large funeral going on at
the Mosque on the corner of 45th and Walnut (and alot of people out on the
sidewalks, etc.), whoever's responsible for that break-in is really brazen.

Be careful out there, all!

[UC] Crime solutions and PBS

[Glenn]

Hey Karen, Sharrieff, and others,

We had a brief pre-election discussion on the list about crime reduction. This 
week on PBS, NOW, there was a very relevant piece with well-done coverage of 
the problem with recidivism and prison overcrowding. Here is the link to the 
description:

http://www.pbs.org/now/shows/322/

It also covered an approach being piloted in Illinois that structures a sound 
attempt to rehabilitate interested prisoners. I think this Illinois program is 
put together with sound policies. 

The true costs to society for not making a well implemented intervention with 
inmates, matching services to an individual's real problems, are enormous. We 
have this crime problem yet we incarcerate an alarming number of our citizens. 
We incarcerate many of them multiple times.

As far as I can tell, Nutter's policy proposal for re-employing ex-offenders is 
centered around tax breaks for employers. Maybe, I'm wrong?

There was a federal tax incentive 10 years ago when I was developing a 
supported work program and network of potential employers. A rather large 
employer, with a business office, told me the program wasn't worth the effort. 

Yet he was quite pleased with the type of assistance we would be offering to 
those I refer to him. He was interested in workers showing up on time and 
knowing that if referrals had any trouble, that we would be helping them. He 
was very pleased to hire my referrals. Later, he told me some of these formerly 
high risk individuals were among his most valuable employees.

We need this type of quality intervention for inmates to reduce recidivism. We 
need the political policy discussion to go beyond sound bites. I think the 
sound bite policies often take us in the wrong direction because they appeal so 
easily to destructive emotions like fear and anger. The tax break emphasis is a 
simple way to show a program that would appear welcomed by business, but I 
honestly believe it would fail to make a substantial impact.

I hope Nutter could become an advocate for a much more comprehensive approach 
to crime than was discussed during the primary. More of us have to raise our 
voices and demand a more serious discussion to be outlined by politicians if we 
are ever going to move in a direction towards sound and civilized policies.  
Power to the people and power to reason.

Hope everyone gets to check out the NOW program. 

Glenn

RE: [UC] Crime in West Philly/Ucity

[John Ellingsworth]

Wishful thinking.
The system used to report crimes is NOT limited to universities - remember 
the attempt by Penn to say that a crime on one of the sidewalks outside 
their buildings was NOT on campus? - but also to the main police.

The suspect has not been caught for that specific crime, so there has 
been no pleading down yet (the man who was shot in the face - he 
willingly gave up his items and they shot him still - I would imagine as 
he plead not to be shot).

I know of specific other crimes that do not show up on the blotter. 
The problem is systemic, and, unfortunately, probably not going to change 
anytime soon (have you ever asked a police officer "Officer, what's going 
on here?" - recall the evasive response?).

RE: [UC] Crime in West Philly/Ucity

[John Ellingsworth]

The Cedar Park Neighbors has developed a Crime & Safety committee to help 
address the concerns of residents regarding crime.
(I am on the committee.)

It is my hope that we can facilitate better communication about safety issues
in the neighborhood, and particularly, a method of disseminating information
about criminal activity in the neighborhood and what neighbors can do to 
prevent it.

For those of you with thoughts about this issue, I'd recommend coming to 
one of the upcoming meetings.  I will post the dates when I have them 
available.

One source of information on recent crime is from the Almanac (although it 
is far from complete, and oftentimes crimes are not listed - the Almanac 
says they post what they receive from the police):

Title: RE: [UC] Crime in West Philly/Ucity



When I 
lived in East Falls and there was an up tick in crime (usually of the petty 
property type as opposed to the Wild, Wild West shoot-em up, "everybody get 
on the ground" variety that goes on in the UC 'hood), the local community group 
would get in touch with the Captain for the local police district and have 
him (it was always a male) come to a community meeting to explain what the 
Police Department was doing to address the problem.  It was reassuring 
to the community and seemed to make the District concentrate its resources in 
the area to address the problem.
 
I am 
curious, do any the local UC community groups follow a similar strategy?  
If this isn't being done, I  think that the 'hood needs to start making 
some noise both to J.B.'s office and the local police districts in order to 
apply pressure so that they will increase/redirect police resources to address 
what appears to be, at the very least, a short terms increase in serious crime 
in the area.  It seems to me that these "crime waves" tend to be cyclical 
and usually caused by a small number of the criminal element. Once they are 
caught and locked up, things quiet down until the next 
cycle.

  whatever the DP chose to report -- were that the case now, i'd have no idea of

  more about crime now.
  but i second the motion (which i made a couple of days ago 
  too) that i want to hear MORE from the police about what's going on in my 
  neighborhood. i want to hear, specifically, RESOLUTIONS -- someone was shot in 
  the face? was anybody arrested? when's the court date? were they convited? 
  have other similar crimes occurred?
  AND i freakin want a police scanner that works. 
  Christy and I were watching t.v. a couple days ago when we 
  heard a gunshot that sounded like it came from the area of the super 7. "was 
  that a gunshot?" she asked. about 30 seconds later, sirens. "must have been a

Title: RE: [UC] Crime in West Philly/Ucity





this was a topic of discussion several days ago here -- it seems that anticdotally crime has skyrocketed -- however, i suspect that at least SOME (hopefully MOST) of that is because we're all talking to one another about it -- previously my only exposure to how much crime was going on in UC (with the exception of personal experience at the point of a gun) was whatever the DP chose to report -- were that the case now, i'd have no idea of the gun embattled hell-hole that is 46th and hazel. i think maybe we just hear more about crime now.

but i second the motion (which i made a couple of days ago too) that i want to hear MORE from the police about what's going on in my neighborhood. i want to hear, specifically, RESOLUTIONS -- someone was shot in the face? was anybody arrested? when's the court date? were they convited? have other similar crimes occurred?

AND i freakin want a police scanner that works.


Christy and I were watching t.v. a couple days ago when we heard a gunshot that sounded like it came from the area of the super 7. "was that a gunshot?" she asked. about 30 seconds later, sirens. "must have been a gunshot" i said -- but i have no idea what's going on -- should i be worred? is there a mugger running around shooting people? or was it some guy shooting a tin can in his back yard?

Thanks for the update john -- I, for one, would like to stay in the loop on _all_ these incidents as much as possible. Court dates and eventual outcomes and the like. I fear too often we only hear about the crime and not what happens afterwards. Like that string of burglaries a few months ago, I know they caught _somebody_ but I don't know if he ever went to trial, and what about the two would-be muggers chased away by the armed homeowner who then shot at a police officer?  

I wish we had a more thorough police blotter.

Does someone have any indication of the TIMES when these 
incidentsoccurred?The first incident where the victim was shot in 
the face struck me asunusual, since, if I recall right, it 
occurredPretty early in the evening.  The ugly crimes used to 
start later at night.If criminals assume that they can get away with 
these crimes at earlierhours, I fear we are reverting back to the situation 
we had in the mid-1990s where no time of day was really safe in University 
City.  That wasA bleak period, when we had muggings and robberies right 
in the middleOf the day.Ann Mayer 
 
Actually the time of day makes no real difference where crime's 
concerned - anywhere, not just UC or West Philly.  I have, in the 
past, been mugged 3 times - all 3 times in Center City, all 3 times in the 
middle of the day to early evening (with lots of people around - once was right 
in front of the old Woolworth's on Chestnut Street with people watching!).  
This was before I learned the "walk fast - a moving target's harder to hit" 
theory.  Works pretty well, at least those times when I can walk 
fast;)  Of course, night - especially late night does seem to be a more 
opportunistic time for the bad guys to be out and about looking for someone 
alone/lost/drunk/whatever ... 
 
The 45th and Locust incident?  Did NOT happen at 45th and Locust - 
that's our intersection.  We would have seen/heard, if nothing else, the 
police activity following something like that, as we live 3 doors away from the 
corner.  
 
It might have been 45th Street, but otherwise, I've heard nothing about 
this one.  The 45th and Pine assault was on the evening news the day it 
happened and it was the dinner hour, as it was "breaking news" on the local news 
that day.

I would suggest that one would read, “The Gift of Fear”, by Gavin de Becker.

Mr. de Becker now works as a bodyguard to major celebrities and noted personalities.  In fact, Beatle George Harrison actually died at his house in California.  He wanted his last days to be utterly private. 

He knows well the criminal mindset and gives many tips about the sorts of people who stalk others in order to pick them out as potential marks and victims, and to harm and commit crimes against them.

The best thing I found was something I was taught as a kid:  Always follow your gut instincts about a person even if you think you look foolish.  Never try to rationalize that you are being silly when someone is behind you that you get a feeling about or approaches you and tries to be really friendly.

Logic and reason sometimes make us victims.

The 45th & Locust incident, as reported, seems quite odd for trouble 
like this. The Watutsi and Abyssinia, at each of the north corners are open 
quite late and have people coming and going. Also, the Jade Palace is open 
fairly late, and also generates street traffic. And the UCD Ambassadors have a 
presence in that area.
 
Was this really the location? Or was it in the genuinely wee hours after

I am not complaining (and would never suggest that they are being
opportunistic about the recent alleged  crime wave) but Diller and Nicholary
have, for 2005, raised the price of their neighborhood armed escort service.
They justify the increase on the grounds that they have new, very shiny,
weaponry.  Nonetheless, for the piece of mind they provide, they are worth
every penny.

It has come to my attention that there was an incident several days ago,

man 
came onto the porch, displayed again and tried to gain entry to the

The couple, entering first, slammed the door on him, at which point he

As reported in today's Almanac:
http://www.upenn.edu/almanac/between/2004/crim_aware_121504.html


Crime Awareness: Specific Crime Pattern of Robberies

The Holiday Season is a joyous time of the year but it is also a period
when street crime will traditionally rise. Unfortunately this year is
not an exception. There has been a spike in street robberies throughout
the City of Philadelphia including the University City area.

A pattern of armed and unarmed robberies has developed particularly west
of 43rd Street. However a few have occurred in our patrol area,
specifically between 40th and 43rd Street which is the western border of
our patrol boundary.

The vast majority of these robberies are occurring between the hours of
8pm and 4am and in most instances, the victim was alone. The University
of Pennsylvania Police Department has taken several steps to eliminate
this pattern. Our efforts include an increase in police patrols and also
assigning specially trained officers in felony patrol in this area. This
will continue until either the perpetrators are apprehended or the
pattern has ceased.

You are urged to be cognizant of your surroundings, walk in pairs and
utilize the University's walking escort services. To request a walking
escort which is available 24 hours a day call 898-WALK. It is also
suggested to incorporate our police emergency number (215-573-) into

[UC] Crime Awareness: Specific Crime Pattern of Robberies

[John Ellingsworth]

As reported in today's Almanac:
http://www.upenn.edu/almanac/between/2004/crim_aware_121504.html
Crime Awareness: Specific Crime Pattern of Robberies
The Holiday Season is a joyous time of the year but it is also a period 
when street crime will traditionally rise. Unfortunately this year is not 
an exception. There has been a spike in street robberies throughout the 
City of Philadelphia including the University City area.

A pattern of armed and unarmed robberies has developed particularly west 
of 43rd Street. However a few have occurred in our patrol area, 
specifically between 40th and 43rd Street which is the western border of 
our patrol boundary.

The vast majority of these robberies are occurring between the hours of 
8pm and 4am and in most instances, the victim was alone. The University of 
Pennsylvania Police Department has taken several steps to eliminate this 
pattern. Our efforts include an increase in police patrols and also 
assigning specially trained officers in felony patrol in this area. This 
will continue until either the perpetrators are apprehended or the pattern 
has ceased.

You are urged to be cognizant of your surroundings, walk in pairs and 
utilize the University’s walking escort services. To request a walking 
escort which is available 24 hours a day call 898-WALK. It is also 
suggested to incorporate our police emergency number (215-573-) into 
the speed dialer of your cell phone. Be aware, be safe and Happy Holidays 
to all.

Au contraire ...!
As Willy Sutton replied when asked why he robbed banks -- that's where 
the money is!

Successful gentrification implies "more stuff" worth stealing; more 
people on the streets with money in their pockets to mug; more vehicles 
with stuff there for the picking.

This is also the reason why the "suburbs" have experienced a general 
rise in crime while Urban areas experience a decline ... it's where the 
"goods" are.

This tradition goes back to Robin Hood and the Highwayman, if not the 
first caveman. They whacked somebody over the head when they knew it 
would be worth their effort.

[UC] Crime Map : UC comes out as safer than some "better" areas.

[Elizabeth F. Campion]

I got my statistics from this link.
http://www.cml.upenn.edu/crimebase/

I went back to see what they defined as "Serious Crimes".
Unfortunately, "serious" seems to be defined in the negative.
If I exclude crimes that have their own categories, than "Serious Crimes"
seems to include:
Manslaughter & Attempted Murder, 
Sexual Assault (not Rape) & Pedophilia, 
Crimes with Guns,
Larger dollar Money  or Drug crimes
But, these are only my guesses.

I used to be able to check the FBI stats, but today I found the new Web
Site not navigable.
The last time I checked ...
Muggings & Murders were more common in Society Hill
Car Break ins more common in Rittenhouse Square
and Rape more common in both SH & RS than in UC.
Maybe to some, it feels counterintuitive.
"West" might evoke "Wild"
Tree shaded streets might feel eerie after dark.
But, I own a property and have an office in Center City, and always feel
safer when I am home or working in UC.

I also remember noting that the City as a whole was at about the
statistical mean for crime for the entire region.
(This means that 50% of the Suburbs were less safe than the city.)
The TV news last night showed the murders occurring in King of Prussia
and New Jersey.

We live in an urban world of unpredictable connections and intersections.
In UC, our chances of being mugged are not statistically higher, but
because of these lists, but our chances of hearing the echo of the
muggings are.  We shouldn't forego the pleasures of our great homes,
convenient events and services and easy access to work and travel because
of the exaggerated perception of crime.  But, we should act in a
forthright manner to avoid becoming victims and we should work to protect
our weaker members.

I have had surprisingly little personal experience with crime.  
Surprising because I am a night walker; a property owner with too many
possessions and am part of a multi- car family.  
I have dropped wallets and had them returned intact. 
My experience confirms that most people are "good", and 
that a "crime wave" is often just one unchecked person or group.  
In my minimal experience with crime, the police responded quickly and
well and a "mugger" suffered my personal wrath and a major thrashing
before being hauled off to "justice".

One thing I learned at PENN in the 70's when rape on and near Campus was
a serious problem was that decent folks must stand up and "Take back the
Night".
Here are some ways to increase safety.
  Educate children.
  Turn on a porch light, trim the hedges and check in.
  Participate in a Volunteer Town Watch.  
  Vote for safer streets.
  Stop a crime from climax by calling out a window and dialing 911

Best!

I use a database for it, and then do a dump onto the map.
A simple query to filter by crime type and I can make the maps.

Not too big a deal; I will produce them later today.

The reason I ask is that producting a map based on severity of crime

I think of this in terms of not being "suburbanified" rather than 
"gentrified".  I wonder how this compares to Center City.  I'm guessing 
if you look at a similar map of the Rittenhouse area you might actually 
see more crimes there.  My partner's car was broken into every few weeks 
around 23rd and Locust and has yet to be broken into since she moved to 
46th and Chester, 5 months ago.

RE: [UC] Crime Map

[John Ellingsworth]

For detailed analysis of crime in Philadelphia, and in the UC area in
particular, I would recommend CrimeBase:

http://www.cml.upenn.edu/crimebase/

You can view trends, charts, summary statistics, etc.  It takes a little
getting used to (not point & click) but you can find out lots of
interesting information.

reporting by the UPPD & the Philadelphia Police 18th District:

I make no claims for the validity of their information or any information
portrayed in the map.  In other words, don't count on it.

Good day.
