Joint VaHi-Morningside Security Forum with APD Coming Up on Feb 6

By Jenifer Keenan, VHCA Board President

APD Command staff from Zone 2 and Zone 6 and the office of the Chief of Police will give brief presentations and answer questions at a Security Forum hosted by MLPA and VHCA on February 6th from 7:00 – 8:30 pm at Haygood Memorial United Methodist Church 1015 East Rock Springs Road.

Originally organized by MLPA for residents of Morningside and Lenox Park,  upon the suggestion of Councilman Alex Wan, I contacted MLPA President Sally Bayless about VHCA joining in the forum, and she graciously agreed.  With two neighborhoods participating in the forum, Councilman Wan has been able to secure the attendance of Police Chief Shields and Deputy Chief Glazier.  This will be a wonderful opportunity to hear from APD leadership and express concerns about crime in our neighborhood.  Thanks to MLPA for organizing this event and Councilman Wan for his continued leadership and advocacy for District 6.
