Dear Residents:

This email is to provide a special thank you to all that attends the regularly scheduled PSA meetings within the Seventh District. It is important that residents continue to engage in this forum to receive the latest information on community policing initiatives, services and programs.

For example, the Third Watch program is a new Metropolitian Police Department program that gives residents the direct ability to take back their communities, providing citizens with a confidential voice to report and stop crime while remaining anonymous to criminals.

The Third Watch program was introduced within the Seventh District as a pilot program. Third Watch is a police department initiative to provide citizens with a confidential voice to assist officers in fighting crime and building safer communities. Third Watch has been designed to help citizens take back their communities. The program is an answer to increasing citizen requests for a venue to discreetly provide information regarding criminal and disorderly activity that they witness, without the subsequent fear of retribution. MPD, with the assistance of the United States Attorney’s Office, has teamed up to provide such a venue: Third Watch. Third Watch has been created for citizens to report low order maintenance crimes to include: drug distribution, tampering with auto, prostitution, trespassing, and disorderly conduct; i.e., loitering, drinking in public, gambling and illegal dumping.

For more information of Third Watch and other MPD programs, we want to invite you to the next PSA meetings scheduled from now until early September:
