Cleveland police officer Brian LaNasa will be holding 'office hours' on Wednesday night in the TWDC offices. He will be available from 5-7pm at 2406 Professor on 8/27.

Officer LaNasa will be on-hand for two hours each week to take complaints, file reports, provide a sounding board and be a resource for Tremont's residents. As he will be based in the office, he cannot take reports for certain crimes that occurred off-site at another time (like Breaking & Entering).

All Tremont residents are encouraged to come by on Wednesday evening and say hello to our very own 'community-based officer.' The success and subsequent continuation of this program will be based upon neighborhood response--so be sure to take advantage of this new arrangement!

Funding a community-based police officer in 2008 was identified as a necessity by participants attending TWDC's Safety Committee retreat, held in April at Merrick House; initial monies for this program were seeded by a grant from ArcelorMittal Steel.
