Zone Areas For Monitoring

Hello, everyone. Today I am officially implementing the new Zones for the monitoring of crime in our neighborhood that I have been talking about for the last few weeks. I made these Zones according to readership demand, which was the main reason for the poll I had you guys take last month. Zones A, D and F through I will be considered "priority" Zones until mid-June, which means I will be doing most of my monitoring for these areas. ALL Zones will be covered individually at least once every two weeks, and at least two or three Zones at a time will be covered at least once every week. For example, I may monitor Zones A, B and N at the same time on one day, while Zone C might be covered individually on a particular day. However, I do reserve the right to monitor another particular area should a major call/emergency occur (i.e. Shots Fired, a large fight, etc.) when I receive word of it either via the radio or if I see it occur. I hope that by breaking up my monitoring sequence for sections of the neighborhood, I can gain more readers in areas not previously covered all that much, and that it will help current readers to have a more localized insight on crime in their area. I welcome all questions, comments and concerns regarding this new plan. Any petitions/appeals to change boundaries and borders for any one of these Zones will be taken into consideration as long as two or more residents share the same concern, and I will especially take the consideration seriously if I notice high crime trends in a particular area. Once again, I plan on making changes to these Zones by mid-June (between June 17th and 21st-ish), and all new changes should be implemented by July 1st. Another poll and process will occur towards the end of September into October.

**Zone S - North to Division, Homan to Western (**will be covered during the Puerto Rican Festival weekend ONLY in mid-June.)

A couple of other things should be noted as well.

1. Zones H, K and R are in the 25th District. Zones I and J are in the 17th District. Zones A through G, L through Q, and S are all in the 14th District.
2. Zone G will be the very first Zone to go online, today, and Zone H will follow on March 26th.
3. The smallest Zones, O and P, WILL be monitored with other surrounding Zones.
4. The most southern Zones, D, G, P, Q and R will be most likely monitored on the warmer days.

Here is the link for the map (on Google Maps) of these Zones, to give all of you a better idea of which Zones are where and which Zone you are in:

I expect this to be a great experiment/project, and I welcome input from everyone.
