Dear Director Flowers:

There was crime meeting held last night at the 2nd Northwest Cooperative Housing complex (400 Block of N Street NW), which is adjacent to the park at New Jersey Avenue and O Streets NW and is Department of Parks and Recreation property. The meeting included Assistant Chief Peter Newsham, Inspector Patrick Burke, and Lieutenant Ralph Neal, among others. Carlson Claptor, the neighborhood service coordinator, also attended.
