Please contact your local Jersey City Police Community Relations Officer in your district. They will put you in touch with your neighborhood organization that share concerns with you. The JCPD had created a Jersey City Community Policing group with Community leaders from each district. Unfortunately, the grant money ran out but from 2006 - 2008, we had the opportunity to work with JCPD and others on community wide issues.

I do attend meetings throughout JC and help give out tips to residents, so just email downtownjcwatch@gmail.com and let me know if you are interested.

So here's the contact info for the JCPD Community Relations:

B. Know your Community Relations Officer. Have their email address and start a dialogue with them regarding the hot spot. Then you can weekly or monthly email them your activity log to keep the problem top of mind. They can often refer you to other agencies or departments that might be helpful. They also have instructions for how to effectively call the police and other tips for keeping your neighborhood and your own home safe.
North District: P.O. David Calton 201.547.5350
West District: P.O. Cora Kerton 201.547.5450
East District: P.O. Dina Reilly 201.547.5408
South District: P.O. Vanessa Lamboy 201.547.5456

Congratulations. Sorry the dealers found a place to move to, but just the fact that they were forced to move even a little bit is something.

Maybe if they know the fear of the neighborhood watch people, they'll at least try to keep their operation as low key as possible.

FIll disclosure - ezola has been saying this for a while, and it's completely unfounded. I live almost directly across from that stoop. I walk past it at least twice every single day. During the summer, there were a few Hispanic kids that would hang out there a lot. I've never once seen any drug deals. They just looked like high school kids hanging out. Ezola claims that he's seen switchblades and shit. I'm not sure, maybe ezola is buying drugs there? I'm not sure how else you'd get close enough to seem them pulling out knives.

Furthermore, I've never seen a car pull up there and buy drugs, ever. I see that happen almost any time I drive down Wayne Street.

Anyway, the speculation is pretty much null and void. Since it's started to get colder, there are very rarely kids out on the stoop. Drug dealers don't close for the winter like Rita's. Ezola thinks I'm some sort of bleeding heart liberal because I don't automatically equate young Hispanic kids hanging out on a stoop with drug dealing.


?High school kids hanging around?-you got to be kidding me. You must be crazy or very naive. I just don?t understand why you are defending them so much? Are you buying from them?
You?ve never seen cars pulling up because you don't want to see things like that. You are one of those-I don't care people. Next time I?ll take some pictures, just for you.

If you knew how to read the Street Code, you wouldn?t make a fool out of yourself and argue on this forum. I told you that already; open your eyes and ears and learn about the Latin Kings and Bloods in Jersey City in your neighborhood.

It?s true it?s been quiet lately on Mercer, because they are smart and they know what?s going on. Do me a favor-don?t call me a racist-you don't know me!

Why don't people secretly video tape this activity, in the day and age when you can get a high def camera for next to nothing. Is it fear of the gangs or the fact that the police won't do anything with a tape?

Dimebags and boys on bikes

On Barrow Street, the group noticed the overgrowth of trees blocking out the streetlights.

"Need to call Public Works to get the trees trimmed," said Pam.

Mike then saw a "dime bag," which is a small plastic bag that usually contains $10 worth of illegal drugs.

"Most people at this time of night would just walk by, but I have been trained to look in all directions," said Mike.

Pam also said that a gray apartment building on the corner of Barrow and Mercer streets is where drugs have been sold.

?The Hudson Reporter 2006


You mean: corner of Barrow and Paulmier Place. It's pretty obvious that Paulmier Pl. # 2 is up to something no good. There is a lot of night-gang activity over there. It appears that some of young dealers and gang bangers have recently moved from Wayne Street to that corner. I wonder who owns this house.

Hello everyone! Just a reminder that our next meeting is this Monday, 8/11, at 7pm at Grace Church located on Erie Street. Enter through the Red Doors on 2nd Street. The police will arrive at 7:30 pm.
Normally, in August, we see a spike in crime. So please take special care. Do not leave any valuables in the car. Please submit any concerns or calls made.

Downtown Jersey City Watch Update

Summer School - Thanks to 8th Street blockwatcher, Jan, who was out there almost every day in between her work hours from home, connecting with the crossing guards, Christo's corner store, and the school She was responsible for bringing together HPNA and the Downtown JC with Elaine Ruane, Special Assistant , Board of Education, who is now overseeing the Summer School program. As a result of the numerous fights and property damage last year, Ms. Ruane requested that additional money be spent on Crossing Guards and Security. Also, the Charter students and Public School students were separated this year into 2 locations. We also requested the East District to have police during the 8:30 and 12:30 arrival and dismissal times. As a result, there were only a handful of fights which were quickly dispersed. Unfortunately, there were some problems along Coles Street which is the path most students take towards Newark Avenue. Every day police units have an open assignment to be present at the school's dismissal and arrival times. However, these police units are pulled away from this assignment to answer other calls. Ideally, a police unit should follow the students as they exit towards Newark Ave -- this is done during the school year. This makes other students feel safe from non-students who are usually hanging around 4th and Monmouth (one of our problem areas). This escort also reduces the opportunity for property damage. Next year, we should request an additional crossing guard on 5th and Coles where traffic is a problem for pedestrians. I would also request that the additional crossing guards be one of 4 that live in that area who know many of the residents. To show our appreciation for the students and faculty who made it through the summer, we awarded 2 student prizes (selected from perfect attendance group) and 1 faculty member. They received gift bags filled with goodies donated from members. Special thanks to Troy (4th Street) for the video games & DVD's, Alfred of www.listenandlive.com for the audio books, and to Tom for the Scholastic books. I donated 2 giftcards from Target. I will be attending the September Board of Education meeting on behalf of our group.

National Night Out - was a great night! Our organization was awarded by the East District as were many of its members: Al, Jan, Jim.
We also gave a special award to the Captain and Officer Reilly for their constant efforts in helping our group and its members. These two awards were specially created by Al who photographed Grace Church's red doors for the awards and framed them. They were beautiful. We also donated a "Movie Night" basket filled with movies (Thanks Troy!) and popcorn to the East District. We also raffled off two gift bags to residents.

Graffiti - the alley between 4th and 5th and Coles and Monmouth were tagged by a group of teens on Thursday, 8/7. A call was made to the non-emergency number as well as JCIA's 24 hour number. Please reply to this email if you are aware of additional property damage.

Missing Car - car was stolen on Jersey Ave between 3rd and 4th a week ago, 8/2/08. It is a dark red 1989 Toyota Camry with a roof rack and Connecticut plates. If you see such a car gathering tickets somewhere, please reply to email. Members drove around for hours looking for red cars with roof racks and did not see one, so if you do see one, take a closer look, they are not that common.

Monmouth Street - there have been a few bicycle and vespa thefts so please keep take create your own blockwatch by hanging out in front of your home for a few minutes.

Hamilton Park Stoop Watch - Thanks to Martina for sponsoring a Stoop watch on Pavonia. It truly brings neighbors together when a group of people say hello to each other.

If you have additional concerns, please reply to this email.

Thanks!
Pam

Hello all!

Just a few notes that we can all utilize.

1) Calls to 547-5477 or 911. Please call 911 if it is a crime in progress. Please describe situation with a firm statement such as "attempting to break into my home" versus a soft statement such as "trying to open my door". The softer sounds like it may be an accident like a person getting confused versus the deliberate firm statement which clearly describes a crime. Also, don't forget to log in your calls, write down the time, the operator #, and the problem. If your operator is uncooperative ask to speak with a supervisor. Please note that operators are not Police officers and what they communicate to the dispatcher can be interpreted differently. Get another neighbor to call or start a phone tree. If you call in numbers, the volume may, though not guaranteed, bump up the call to a higher priority. If you have a problem with the operator, report to our group immediately.

2) Oren Dabney, CEO of Jersey City Incinerator Authority, provided helpful information. If you have a problem with garbage pick up, illegal dumping or grafitti, please call 201.432.4645 x614 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They are open. JCIA and the NJ Dept. of Transportation met on June 8th to form a task force on graffiti. If you see a public facility or a mailbox that has been defaced, please call JCIA and give them the exact location or you can email us and we will forward your message. Also, check out their website, www.jciaonline.org. If anyone has any grafitti information like the web links that I posted, please email them to us. To reduce litter by kids, JCIA is working on a buyback program on plastic bottles and cans with local stores. Illegal dumping was picked up that night per a request made at our meeting.

Van Vorst Park area is one of many nice places to live in Jersey City, particularly downtown. That said, you are moving to an urban city not a suburb. I suggest you read some of the info published in this Jersey Journal series to familiarize yourself with what urban problems found nationwide also exist here in JC. Also, read the Van Vorst Park: RALLY FOR COMMUNITY, Thur July 12 thread posted here at JCList.

With that said, good luck and welcome to JC.

Mapping Out Crime: The series in brief

by The Jersey Journal Saturday October 20, 2007, 4:00 AM[/b]

By following The Jersey Journal's computer-assisted series on crime in Jersey City this week, readers found out what types of crimes are more prevalent in the city's neighborhoods.

But how safe is your block? Whether you work or live in Jersey City, have relatives there or enjoy its restaurants and attractions, you'll want to check out our interactive map(look under "What's New?"). You plug in an address and a time frame and the 25 major crimes that were reported nearest to it will pop up on screen.

Here's an overview of our series:

Monday: The overall crime picture in Jersey City, with an accompanying map, a chart of the most commonly committed crimes and a listing of hot spots -- individual addresses where the police are sent over and over and over again.

Tuesday: A look at the Martin Luther King Drive corridor, the area of the city with the most reported incidents of violent crime, an accompanying map and a sidebar talking to people on the Drive.

Wednesday: As our map shows, the increasing wealth concentrated in the Downtown section of Jersey City has made the area a prime target for burglars.

Thursday: Jersey City has at least three corners where drugs have been peddled continuously for years. How does this still happen when these corners are no secret to residents and police?

Yesterday: The city's Police Department believes the highly acclaimed COMSTAT program that was re-established last year has already provided dividends. Is it really working?

Today: The city's top cop wants to retool the department to meet today's challenges. But the changes would require more money from the city's taxpayers, and it's unclear whether there is the political will to push them through.

Crooks follow the money: Third of a six-part Jersey Journal series on crime

by The Jersey Journal Wednesday October 17, 2007, 4:00 AM

In the third installment of the Mapping Out Crime computer-assisted series, The Jersey Journal looks at burglaries today.

In analyzing statistics from the Jersey City Police Department, investigative reporter Jarrett Renshaw was struck by two hot spots that show up on the burglary map indicating a trend toward crooks following the money to Downtown Jersey City. While clearly not the most concentrated volume of burglaries in the city, the hot spots called for a closer look.

A special part of the series gives you access to information about crimes committed in Jersey City through an interactive map (look under "What's New?"). You plug in an address and a time frame and the 25 major crimes that were reported nearest to it will pop up on screen.


Here's today's installment:

Resized Image'BULL'S-EYE' ON DOWNTOWN

As money moves in, so do the burglars, cops say

Wednesday, October 17, 2007



By JARRETT RENSHAW
JOURNAL STAFF WRITER

THIRD IN A SERIES

Police Capt. Brian McDonough's office in the East District stationhouse looks like what one might expect for a district commander. There's a host of family photos, a smattering of reports and papers on the desk and a dry-erase board with important dates scribbled on it.

But among all these common items stands one that demands some explanation: a shiny, new mountain bike.

"It was given to us by a local shop, and we have been using it as a decoy to catch people stealing bikes, and it's worked," McDonough said one recent day. "We already caught two people last week."

That vintage police tactic underscores one of the biggest problems facing residents and law enforcement in the East District as the area's increasing wealth - specifically in the Downtown neighborhoods - has made it an attractive and lucrative target for criminals.

Last year, the East District saw more than 300 residential and commercial burglaries and more than 800 thefts, according to statistics provided by the city's Police Department.

Those numbers account for roughly 22 percent of all reported burglaries and 30 percent of all reported thefts in the city.

In addition, there have been roughly 500 car break-ins so far this year in the East District, 30 percent of all reported break-ins in the city.

"The criminals know where the money is, and that puts a bull's-eye on the neighborhood," McDonough said. "We recognize that, and we track trends and dedicate resources when we see problems."

In the East District, the highest volume of burglaries - entering private property with the intention of committing a felony or theft - occurs in the Paulus Hook neighborhood and the Jersey Avenue corridor from Hamilton Park to Montgomery Street, according to a mapping of 19 months of crime statistics conducted by The Star-Ledger in conjunction with The Jersey Journal.

"People are very concerned," Sam Stoia, vice president of the Hamilton Park Neighborhood Association, said.

"People feel that we need more of a police presence on the streets, and we are not getting it. The city tries to hold an increase of taxes over our heads, but we are not satisfied with our return on our taxes now. We have sewer and flooding problems, and nothing this city has done has increased our home values."

Surely, the East District holds no monopoly on burglary and thefts among the city's four districts.

BURGLARY HOT SPOTS

In fact, the mapping of crime statistics shows that an area stretching from Journal Square to McGinley Square and a little bit beyond, along with a small area south of the intersection of Bergen Avenue and Kennedy Boulevard, have higher concentrations of burglaries.

But a group of vocal neighborhood organizations in the East District have repeatedly called public attention to the issues of burglary and theft in their neighborhoods in recent years.

The organized groundswell of public attention has helped make McDonough one of the most active district commanders in the city, personally attending many neighborhood meetings each month, even when there is great chance they'll turn combative.

"I feel it's important to grow the cooperation between the community and the Police Department," McDonough said. "For one thing, it's important that the residents know there are things they can do, like making sure they clear their car of potential targets at night, like satellite radios or GPS systems."

REPORTING FOR DUTY

During a recent afternoon roll call, 14 uniformed cops and two plainclothes officers were present for duty, along with two detectives and several higher-ups scheduled for desk work.

The number of uniformed personnel - all assigned to a car and not to foot patrol - raises questions for some about the level of resources the city is dedicating to patrol a sprawling area that stretches east to west from the Hudson River to Summit Avenue and north to south from the Hoboken border to Liberty State Park.

"That does not seem adequate," Stoia said.

McDonough, though, said he is satisfied with the level of resources, pointing to department numbers that show significant drops in stolen vehicles and burglaries from last year to this year.

"Of course you would always like more people," he said, "but I feel comfortable with what we have."

From: Downtown Jersey City Watch <downtownjcwatch@gmail.com> Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2008 13:33:09 -0500 To: Downtown Jersey City Watch <downtownjcwatch@gmail.com> Cc: Mayor Jerramiah Healy <mayorhealy@jcnj.org>, Captain Brian McDonough <policeeast@jcnj.org>, Steven Fulop <fulops@jcnj.org> Subject: Fwd: Re: Coles street problems 4th-5th Hello everyone! Below is an email from one member regarding Response from our Captain and our Mayor's Action Bureau. Thanks Al! I was wondering what they were doing on 2/28. I was so surprised to see MUA in front of my house doing work that I videotaped it. They are here again in front of my house on 3/3. We really hope not to see our cars under water again due to a clogged sewer. It really devasted our neighbors who are on fixed incomes. Pam -------------------------------------------------------------------- Thursday, February 29, 2008 I attended the Captain's meeting on Tuesday night. Got a rundown on Fake Check Scams as well as some of the details on the home invasion case. Very positive outcomes. They really are investing a lot of effort and time in solving the cases and bringing the crime rate down.So it was good to share their enthusiasm.I find attending the Captain's meeting more entertaining, engaging and informative than staying at home watching Cops on TV!!! Representatives were also present from the Mayor's Action Bureau. I talked to Judi Reilly after the meeting about several specific concerns on our block. The street flooding that resulted in car flooding in August 2007. We had four parked cars damaged. The extra amount of trash and leaves that blow onto the west side of Coles and our having to hire someone to help clean the gutter/sidewalk several times a week. So what happened? Today, Thursday February 28, I got a call from Dan Becht, the Executive Director of the Municipal Authority. I explained how only our block had a deeper pond compared to adjoining blocks and that the basins may need to be cleaned more often--- especially with the onset of the rainy season. One hour after he called we were bombarded with teams and trucks to look into our drains. --- I mean even with a remote video camera in the pipes! Then the supervisor from Ready ,Willing, and Able came by to have his people clean the streets and initiate more clean ups. We talked for while about the youth of today sharing their school lunch wrappers with the neighborhood.I also got a call from the street cleaning department who assured me that the clean up trucks will start to pay better attention to our gutters. Then I called Judi at the Mayors office and thanked her. I also asked if the Fire Department was going to stop by and hose down the houses and clean the roof gutters!!!!! So it really pays to go to the Captain's Monthly meeting.I'm glad he has taken the initiative to reach out to the community.Also glad to know that the Police really do care about making a difference.And very glad to see the Mayor's Action Bureau there to get filled in on crime in our district and reach out to us if we are having problems. Al Coles street between 4th & 5th

**********************************************
We'd love to have you join us at our next meeting of the Downtown Jersey City Watch

When:
We meet every second Monday of the month, 7 pm

Where:
Grace Church Van Vorst Sanctuary located @ 39 Erie @ 2nd Street Enter through red doors on 2nd street


What is a Neighborhood Watch?
It is neighborhoods organized to be the eyes and ears of the poice. Reporting suspicious activities and persons to the police as soon as they are observed.

Neighborhood Watch is a great way citizens can work together to prevent crime

How does neighborhood watch work?

We are a neighborhood watch group focused on reducing crime downtown and making sure police, the councilmember and the mayor respond to our crime issues.

We email police regularly with any crime issues happening in our area, and we meet as a group with police and Councilmember Steve Fulop monthly to discuss crime issues.

We also have a crime phone tree, so that anytime you witness criminal activity you can call the police and your neighbors so that they can also call the police and be alert for activity as well. There is strength in numbers.The major issue, however, is that you report suspicious activities to the police.

Neighborhood crimes are preventable.
It is everyones job to discourage criminals.

from Downtown Jersey City Watch <downtownjcwatch@gmail.com> to Downtown Jersey City Watch <downtownjcwatch@gmail.com> The Downtown Jersey City Watch would like to say thank you to the JCPD on behalf of our group and the over 300 who receive our broadcast emails. Chief Comey has every reason to be proud of the JCPD in their work below on our community's behalf and we'd like to personally thank Captain Brian McDonough, Commander of the East District who together with other Police Officers, meets with the DJCW on a monthly basis. WELL DONE! Downtown Jersey City Watch "We are at least able now to let the community rest a little better," Police Chief Tom Comey said. "I'm proud of the effort the men and women of this department put forth. They did a great job in making arrests in what can only be described as a heinous act that scares a lot of our residents."

GrovePath wrote: Resized Image OFF THE STREETS 2 nabbed in home invasion; 5 more snared in crime web Saturday, February 09, 2008 By MICHAELANGELO CONTE JOURNAL STAFF WRITER A career criminal with a heavy heroin addiction and a second man have been charged in last week's terrifying home invasion in Jersey City, cops told The Jersey Journal yesterday. The duo tripped up by using a credit card they stole during the incident at a gas station that has a surveillance camera, police said, adding that the ensuing investigation has led to the arrests of five others on unrelated charges. Charged in the home invasion are Fredrick Robinson, 41, of Dales Avenue and Clyde Heath, 38, also of Jersey City. In the attack, a woman at 10th and Monmouth streets was awakened about 11:10 p.m. on Jan. 31 by a man in her bedroom telling her the home was being robbed. The front door had been kicked in, and she and her two children were ordered to put sheets over their heads while two men ransacked the home. The woman was also slapped before the thieves fled, cops said. A credit card stolen from the home was used at several locations over the next couple of days and when cops followed up at a gas station near the Junction they obtained a surveillance tape that showed a man in a Mercury Mountaineer whom cops recognized as Robinson, reports said. The victim identified Robinson from the videotape, and images of the vehicle's plates led police to the Mountaineer's Jersey City owner, who told them he'd been forced to lend the vehicle to a man who had also extorted thousands of dollars from him, Capt. Chet Major said. On Monday, cops spotted the Mountaineer on Armstrong Avenue and arrested four people who were in it and found drugs, jewelry and foreign coins, police said. The next day police reviewed reports and determined the coins and jewelry had been stolen from an Armstrong Avenue home on Saturday, Major said. That same day, cops also nabbed 42-year-old Mark Hill of Myrtle Avenue, the man accused of extorting the Mountaineer's owner. Charged with extortion and theft, he has 17 prior arrests and four convictions, Major said. On Wednesday, a Condict Street resident saw a man banging on doors and called police, Major said. When plainclothes Officers Brian Cullinan and Shawn Licata arrived they saw Robinson walk out of an alley and arrested him. Police found jewelry on him and while processing him they got calls from two area residents saying they had been burglarized, Major said. Robinson has been charged with burglary, robbery, credit card fraud and other offenses. Described as a heroin addict, he has 21 prior arrests, including drug charges, and 10 convictions, Major said. He was in prison from April 19, 2002 to March 28, 2005 and from April 19, 2002 to Aug. 5 of last year on burglary convictions. Heath, aka Clyde Bowens, was caught yesterday afternoon on robbery and burglary charges, Major said. Arrested in the Mountaineer on charges of receiving stolen property and drug possession were Farah McCrae, 28, of Wade Street; Dale Clark, 32, of Fairmount Avenue; Rhonda Burns, 39, of Tonnelle Avenue, and William Askew, 34, of Randolph Avenue, Major said. Detectives Mark Incinna and Al Lopez are reviewing other burglaries to determine if there are any other connections. "We are at least able now to let the community rest a little better," Police Chief Tom Comey said. "I'm proud of the effort the men and women of this department put forth. They did a great job in making arrests in what can only be described as a heinous act that scares a lot of our residents."

The actors broke through her front door, woke her from sleep and robbed her in front of her children.

*NOTE* Below are several new reports to the DJCW On Jan 31, 2008 5:09 PM, [redacted]wrote: My husband's bike was stolen on Monday from in front of our house on 6thStreet off Coles. We thought it was to minor to report so we didn't. Should we be reporting this? [redacted] ************************************************ From:east <policeeast@jcnj.org> to Downtown Jersey City Watch <downtownjcwatch@gmail.com>, date Feb 1, 2008 7:22 AM subject Re: Burglary on 1/24 on 9th Street Incidents such as stolen bicycles should be reported. It provides us, the Jersey City Police Department, with the knowledge of knowing the incident occurred and allows us to alert our patrol units as well as the surrounding communities. In addition, the report provides valuable information, such as description of bicycle and serial number. The serial number and identification of a bicycle allows us to apprehend an individual with stolen property and may lead to further valuable information. Please ensure that all bicycles are secured with a sturdy lock to a sturdy object/area. It is in the owner's best interest to place the bicycle(s) in a non-visible area, such as indoors. P.O. Dina Reilly Jersey City Police Department East District Community Relations Officer ************************************************ to Downtown Jersey City Watch <downtownjcwatch@gmail.com> date Jan 24, 2008 8:06 PM subject Burglar on 9th Street A detective came by asking if we'd seen anyone stealing a large plasma TV out of our neighbors house today, 302 9th street.
