Hello all and Happy New Year! Just a reminder! Our next meeting will be on Monday, Jan. 8th, at 7pm, Grace Van Vorst Church located on Erie Street and 2nd Street. Please enter through the red door on 2nd Street.

Below is the agenda but you can still email any concerns by replying to this email (downtownjcwatch@gmail.com ) . The East District Captain, Cpt. Brian McDonough, and the Community Relations Officer, Ofc. Reilly, will arrive about 7:30 pm. Councilman Steven Fulop will be in attendance. If you have any concerns, please reply to this email.

As discussed in our past meetings, we would like to begin organizing and uniting residents within certain areas. Each meeting will be dedicated to that area. This Monday, Jan. 8th, we would like to focus on Mercer and Wayne Street Areas. This is an attempt to unite members within these areas so they can build a phone tree, patrol together, and also know their neighbors. Mercer Street already has a well connected group so this is an ideal time to get to know them. We ask that if you live in this area to please attend this meeting by replying to this email. We, especially, need Wayne Street residents to come out .

The upcoming meetings will focus on the following areas:

Feb. 12th - Monmouth/Brunswick Streets
March 12th - Erie/8th Streets (we need more Erie members!)

Agenda

7pm Brief Introductions and meet new members
7:15 Mahaley Stewart Bowles of Partners in Prevention will present tips on crime prevention and services available in Jersey City.
7:25 Questions
7:30 Police to arrive

Notes from 12/11 mtg.

The Community Relations Officer, Ofc. Reilly, reminded members to take extra precautions this Holiday Season. Please be sure to turn on a Radio or TV if you plan to leave your house, even for work. Also, do not leave any packages in your car and please remove your GPS systems from the vehicle. If lighting is a problem on your street, please report it to www.pseg.com (write down the pole number or the address the pole is closest to, be very descriptive.) Another tip that was shared was to leave a dog bone or dog leash by your front door. While walking home, walk in well lit areas, cross the street if area is not well lit. Many people tend to talk on the cell phone while walking home, this makes you a likely target for robbery since it appears you are not paying attention. So please get off the phone once you are alone on the street and be alert.

The numbers for the Burglary, Burglary and Theft to Auto in the Harsimus Cove and Van Vorst Park for the month of November and up to the Dec. meeting was "0". This is an outstanding improvement for this time of the year for our areas in the past 3 years. The amount of robberies in both areas is 3 which is also the lowest number that has been reported though we are always concerned when someone has been robbed. Normally, both areas (Harsimus Cove and Van Vorst Park) receive their own numbers and the numbers range from 3 to 10 for each crime activity: Burglary, Burglary and Theft to Auto, and then Robbery.

Upcoming Events

January 25th will be a day dedicated to the NJ statewide coordinated "Project Homeless Connect" and Hudson Alliance to End Chronic Homelessness in Hudson County's "Point in Time Count"survey of the homeless. We ask that you go to the link below for more information about providing food, clothing, blankets and services as well as volunteering for any part of that day at the Armory (678 Montgomery St)from 10 until 6:30PM. During the week, you may bring and donate any of these items to St. Lucy's Shelter for the Homeless at 619 Grove Street, Jersey City, NJ 07310

Please contact:
Dale Hardman for more info at: 347-789-7508 or brightmoments@gmail.org or Kristin Green at 908.272.5363 kgreen@monarchhousing.org

Subject: Christo's "Downtown" Mini-Mart & Pizzeria Robbed!


December 15, 2006:

Christo's "Downtown" Mini-Mart & Pizzeria, #301 8th Street, (corner of Coles and 8th Streets) was robbed last night.

Adel, the store owner, told me this morning that some time between closing of the store last night and this morning before opening the store, robbers entered into the back fenced area and broke through the back door of Christo's with crow bars.

Stolen were: All the scratch off lottery tickets, cash register contents, and a recent $3,000.00 delivery of cigarettes.

East District Police were called and came to Christo's.

If anyone witnessed this robbery and or has any further information, please call the East District asap.

Thank you.

Jan

I don't know, as I will be at the DJCW mtg.,since I'm sure my opinion about the negative impact on the neighborhood by only providing 80% parking will be emphasized by many there at the Newport Associates presentation.

Steve has been known to make several meetings in a night though I don't know how he does it!

Notes from Last Meeting
Neighborhood Improvement District (NID) representatives encouraged members to contact them at 201.547.5683. They provided additional assistance in enforcing Municipal Codes. Members had questions on unkept vacant houses, disorganized garbage, animal issues, sanitation. Their handout is very helpful. Please contact them for more info or grab a handout at the next meeting.

Please note, at the last meeting, it was agreed to begin uniting members with other members on their street. Some of you may have received calls from me already asking if I could share your phone number with your neighbor. We also discussed focusing on certain areas each meeting to give these residents an opportunity to connect as a united block with the Police. Below is a suggested list of areas with the Monthly meeting. For January, I have received many emails regarding Mercer St. so I would like to start with that area as well as Wayne Street.

Police report for October
The Police did discusse their statistics for various areas and pointed out attention to juvenile related crimes. Members acknowledged to the police that they have seen the curfew van at work. The police also announced a few arrests which corresponded to a sharp decrease in car break-in/theft for October. (Note, we are now in December, which means the rates will go up at this time). Individuals trespassing the yards was also brought up by one member in the Mercer St. area.

Also, other association events will/can be announced at our monthly meetings/agenda email. Apologies to the most faithful members who we were not able to promote their events in the past. If you have an upcoming event, please submit the event at the meeting.

I will try to attend, probably not able to.. but I have a question for this person (Jim Ganley, from the Neighborhood Improvement Division) or anyone who cares to comment:

Will he issue tickets to homeowners even though trash in the immediate property was dumped by someone else?

What if I can prove that it came from a neighbor(complete with letters with addresses, etc.)?

I live on the corner of 9th and Manila, and people routinely leave their trash here. 2 days ago ,I saw a case of Corona Beer with about 3-4 empty bottles, and an unknown blue plastic bag next to it. It's still there.

Right on the wall, there's a half-consumed bottle of Snapple today.

At any given time there will be cigarette boxes, empty potato chip bags, sometimes a tire,or remnants of an oil change, 4 litres of 10W-40

I've lived here since 1996, and after picking up others people's trash for years, I've stopped a couple of years ago. Just tired of that crap.

I got stuck with workmen at my apt until about 8:20, I came out to see if there was anyone on my corner (Wayne & Barrow). I have to say at the time the park was eerily deserted. I'm sorry I missed hooking up with the others on my street

Thanks elgoodo and BrightMoment- I kind of figured that was the raionale (though I'm not sure I necessarily agree with it- semantics) but wanted to make sure.

Kudos.

The Bright and Jersey Ave group met at 7:00 and we visited until about 7:40. There were a few of us there. It was nice to meet the neighbors and we did not see anything out of the ordinary. Thanks Pam for organizing this.

Our group by 4th St. and Coles hung out until almost 8:30 pm. The group had almost 10 people at some point, some of them dog owners with their doggies. It was very nice to meet some of the neighbors... Coles Street between 4th and 5th was fairly quiet, nothing to report... we did see the corfew van driving by couple of times. We were also strategizing on how to draw the trick-or-treat crowds tomorrow evening into Coles St. between 4th and 5th... it looks like the folks at 4th Street (between Jersey and Coles) tend to steal the show during Halloween night...

Purely a guess: Maybe because some people toss that word around without any indication that it is actually true. I'm talking about the word "gang" to indicate ACTUAL gang activity as opposed to simply referring a group of kids as a "gang". I'm sure (at least I hope) that the police keep tabs on any actual gang-related activity and most laypeople would not have that good a handle on what is actually gang-related vs ordinary troublemakers or non-gang-related crime.

Just a guess.


Bdlaw, elgoodo's guess is exactly right. Too often calls report a "gang of kids", which is really a "group of kids" as they don't know if they are in a gang or not and you know yourself that police response in timeliness is relative to importance. Good guess, elgoodo!

Neeners, good that you and your group were out tonight.

It was just me on 3rd street tween Erie & Jersey. I was outside from 7 until 8:45. Saw many kids, teenagers, several in groups just having a good time. Only suspicious thing was a group of kids in white tshirts/black/dark coats loudly walking fast on Erie St. heading south towards Hamilton Park area. Mainly saw lots of speeding cars on my block, one car with kids yellin out the window (good for them). Spoke with several new neighbors next door, walking their respective dogs and they both told me about an incident that happened Sun night with egg throwers on Erie/3rd st. and possible attempted breakin from fire escape at bldg. on the same corner. Don't know if it was reported but 3 people told me this including one in my bldg. who said he heard the same story.

Nice night to hang and smoke my pipe!

Our group of folks ranged from 6-8 or 10, I think. We stayed there for 40 minutes. I was happy to see the police on bikes, a squad car/van, and an officer on a motorcycle making the rounds in the short time we were there. Didn't see anything suspicious. Actually, I don't think I saw any kids the whole time. Thanks for organizing this. It was nice to meet more neighbors.

Err... why? Legitimate question. In conversation, I would most likely refer to a large group of people engaged in some kind of activity as a "gang."


Uhm...

Anyone?

Hello?

Bueller?

Hello everyone!

*Mon, Oct 30*-Creating a presence on your block is the best crime prevention you and your neighbors can do.

So, on Monday, 10/30, starting at 7pm, I'm asking all members to stand out side for at least 30 minutes or 2 sets of 15 minutes and chat with your neighbor.

Here are some ideal blockwatch points. In paranthesis I put names of active members who I think should lead the blockwatch if available:

Blockwatch Points-Wayne and Barrow Streets (Abe/Brian/Ariel - there are about 15 members in this area, you should all meet)
Jersey Ave and Bright Street (Leila/Tammy - there are 15 members who live from #24 to #126 Bright Sts.- hang out at Bubby's!)

Varick and Mercer (Jenn/Damian keep an eye out on Montgomery)

Coles and 4th Streets - (Pam/Maria/Al)
3rd and Erie - (Dale/Janet)
Grove Street Path Entrance (SE of Columbus Ave - Amy)
2nd and Brunswick (Jim/Suzanne)
Hamilton Park (Phil,Jan)

Please Reply to this email if you can meet at one of these points.

Downtown Jersey City Watch [downtownjcwatch@gmail.com]

*EGGS*-In the past, we had people attacked with eggs by large disorderly groups. Remember to call 201.547.5477 about large disorderly groups.

*CURFEW*-Also note, that we now have a curfew van. 10:30pm is the curfew for teens who are 16 years old or younger.

*CALL 911*- if someone has been physically attacked or threatened or if groups of people are fighting. Again, refrain from the term "gang" and be sure to get an operator number. If you've called either numbers, don't forget to let us know or call the Captain's office the following day as a follow up, especially if it was a serious attack or if you received no response at all.

Meeting Notes:

ADT representatives came to our meeting to brief us with some of their services from wireless outdoor cameras to indoor hidden cameras. They will consider sponsoring a Neighborhood Watch sign on behalf of the Company. If you would like additional information, please reply to this email.

Our last meeting, 10/9, was quite small due to the several arrests that have been made in the past month. We had 3 burglary arrests, 1 arrest of a gang member that is wanted in another state. There have been a few car theft arrests as well. Because of this, burglaries and car theft has been decreased since last month in the Harsimus Cove and Van Vorst Park areas.

Our Councilman has confirmed that legislation has passed for mandatory cameras in all new Developments with 20 or more units. Also, he will research in developing legislature for Small business owners/private residents to receive tax credit if they purchase digital surveillance cameras.

Our next meeting will be on Monday, November 13th. Thanks and hope you enjoy the Artist's Studio Tour this weekend!

Pam
