We begin the fourth week of 2012 in Cedar Rapids this week.
Council Member Pat Shey is hosting the Neighborhood Safety Forum. Pat Shey represents District 3 on the City Council for Cedar Rapids.
The purpose of this forum is to provide information to help residents make their homes and neighborhoods safer. We will discuss current crime statistics, what you can do to protect your home, how you can make your neighborhood safer, and what you should do if you experience a crime or witness suspicious activity.
Pat Shey to Host Neighborhood Safety Forum on Jan. 23
City Council Member Pat Shey will host a Neighborhood Safety Forum on Monday, January 23, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. in the sanctuary of St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, located at 1340 3rd Ave SE, especially for residents of District 3.
“The purpose of this forum is to provide the citizens of Cedar Rapids with information that will help them make their homes and neighborhoods safer,” said Shey. “We will discuss current crime statistics, what you can do to protect your home, how you can make your neighborhood safer, and what you should do if you experience a crime or witness suspicious activity.”
The forum will feature a panel discussion, moderated by Shey, which will include the following experts from the Cedar Rapids Police Department: Lt. Jerry Potter, Sgt. Matthew Welsh, Investigator Michael Bailey and Crime Analyst Dawn Stanford. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and share concerns during the forum.
Residents with personal experiences to share are encouraged to submit a written narrative or statement before the forum and send them to Pat.Shey@cedar-rapids.org. All statements will be compiled, scanned and share with all who are interested.
It should be an interesting Neighborhood Safety Forum at St. Paul's UMC.

As a new Commissioner of the Cedar Rapids Civil Rights Commission, I plan to attend. After last week's Commission meeting, I indicated that to my fellow Commissioners my interest to serve on the Outreach Commission.
With redistricting in the City of Cedar Rapids, our home is now in District 3 as of mid-January 2012. Indian Creek Hills is now entirely in Precinct 25, as opposed to being divided into to districts, as before. We will be voting at Erskine ES again.
Also, I have spoken to people in our community that have been disappointed with the following story.
