Its obviously a raw subject for a lot of Chicagoans, and it seems like not many can just have a straight conversation about it.<br /><br />I'm a former OEMC dispatcher and trainer and slooper, now living out of state. I can give a little bit of constructive advice for all here that is the same I gave to my community and in community meetins elsewhere when I lived in the Sloop. Call 911 for anything and anybody you find truly suspicious. You as residents are in the best position of anybody to know when something is suspicious and should be eyeballed by the police. Be sure when you call to say that what and/or who you are looking at is suspicious, and if pressed just give an honest assessment that minimally includes that what you are seeing is "out of place". That is all.<br /><br />These are THE best calls that the police can receive, and its way better than getting an in-progress or just-occurred call.<br /><br />Just to be clear, use your discretion and make sure its something you think warrants a police officer taking a look. It does not mean somebody will be questioned, searched, arrested or anything else. A suspicious person call is, however, a high (towards the top) priority call (not lights and sirens though), and the police will normally respond quickly to take a look at whoever you are calling about.<br /><br />Sorry for the length of this note, but I really am just trying to be helpful to my old neighborhood and neighbors (of all races).<br /><br />JoshJoshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-43471979080642024762011-07-13T15:42:13.227-05:002011-07-13T15:42:13.227-05:00At 1600 S Prairie a Ducati was pilfered
