Midtown Citizens on Patrol Wins City Grant Midtown's Citizens on Patrol groups has received a grant from the Mayor's Office on Criminal Justice to support these grass-root efforts to make our neighborhoods safer. The funds will allow us to buy flashlights, safety vests and other equipment. Midtown is currently coordinating several walker groups in Mount Vernon, Madison Park and Bolton Hill. The patrols are often enhanced by use of Midtown's Segway personal vehicles. Volunteers who wish to be trained to patrol on a Segway may email our Volunteer Maryland Coordinator, Jovonne Lewis at volunteer@midtowncommunity.org or call 410 528-1512, extension 217.
Crime has been on the decline throughout the Midtown communities. Our public safety committee under the chairmanship of Michael Molla will soon be holding an open evening meeting to solicit ideas and concerns from Midtown residents.
