Recap of the August MHNA Meeting
Hello neighbors,
We had an informative meeting on Tuesday evening where we heard from our partners at UWM and MPD about their plans for maintaining a peaceful east side community as fall arrives and new and returning students come back to the neighborhoods around campus.
UWM has again this year provided a grant to MPD to pay for additional patrols in the neighborhoods around campus and intends to continue their close coordination with MPD District 1. MPD District 1 Captain Diana Rowe and Sergeant Kevin Sadowski, supervisor of the Community Prosecution Unit, presented their plans for ongoing community policing and continuing the practice of also referring current UWM students to UWM for follow-up by the Dean of Student’s office. UWM Dean of Students Adam Jussel, UWM Neighborhood Housing and Relations Manager Alyssa Conrardy, and UWMPD Chief Joseph LeMire discussed plans for Fall Welcome as well as consistent enforcement of expectations of student behavior in off-campus environments.
You may recall that last year MHNA put together a summary document that outlines the collaborative process that neighbors can use to address noise nuisance and other related issues. We have updated that document and made it available on our website at this link. Additionally, MPD District 1 provided this contact sheet that neighbors can use to reach out with any non-emergency questions or concerns related to specific incidents or properties. We are also linking the letter that outlines the 2019 Fall Welcome events. Finally, we also encourage you to sign-up to receive the UWM Neighborhood Email Newsletter at the following link: https://uwm.edu/
Thank you again to our guest speakers as well as all of those neighbors who attended to express their commitment to preserving a high quality of life here in Murray Hill.
