Dear Supt. Johnson:
The Scottsdale community located in Chicago’s 18th Ward and more specifically Beat 834 in Chicago’s 8th District are seeking help that only you and higher elected officials can handle. We are asking for beat integrity and also a beat realignment as our beat is one if not the biggest beat in the 8th District. Our community is home to a culturally diverse population with a lot of working families. Often our Beat Officer (834) is pulled to handle other assignments in other parts of the district. While our area does not have “serious” crimes like other parts of the district, we the people of Beat 834 are asking that the beat officer remains solely in Beat 834 and an additional 2nd car be added to the beat besides a rapid response car. Our beat covers a radius of 2 miles long by almost 2 miles wide with multiple RR tracks prohibiting our beat officer from effectively covering the beat at times. We continue to have problems with theft, graffiti, shootings, burglaries, etc. These problems are becoming more and more frequent and causing people/families to leave our community because of fear. Residents are sometimes waiting for long periods of time for a response from police depending on the severity of the call and what else maybe happening in the district. This is unacceptable, and we demand more police presence in our area.
We would like to see the beat become smaller and cover from Central Pk. to Cicero instead of current Kedzie Av. to Cicero Av. We feel having a beat that covers west of RR tracks solely will make response time quicker and prevent officers from being held up by trains. We are also asking for a 2nd car at all times to help curtail the gang activity, prevent smaller crimes, and help keep the community feeling safe. Having multiple cars driving a smaller beat and citizens seeing police on a more regular basis would go a long way of helping ease people fears and help possibly deter some of the crimes currently going on in the area. We are a hard-working community looking for help from our police. We have great officers in our district and our community supports their efforts. Scottsdale Neighborhood Watch invites you to come out and hear our residents’ concerns and thoughts. We look forward to a response from you and attached is signatures of residents who support our request for more police and a smaller beat. Please contact me at [email protected] or call 773-886-9788 to setup a date for you to come out and talk to our organization.
Thank you,
Jason Huff - President – Scottsdale Neighborhood Watch

I am currently compiling our documented wait times and recent incident reports to present a clear case for the precinct captain. Please email your local alderperson today to demand they prioritize our request for a dedicated second patrol car.

The momentum behind our call for beat integrity is undeniable and shows Supt. Johnson that our neighborhood will no longer accept delayed responses. Post this petition link on your Facebook profile today and email your representative to demand the realignment we need.

We need more police to check on drug dealing and all around bad house on 83rd Street. Dealer's car always parks on sidewalk in front of house.
I’ve lived here for 36 years and I’m noticing that my neighbors are really working hard to keep the crime rate down. Please help to keep our streets and homes safe so that we don’t lose these wonderful neighbors to other suburban towns and cities.
We have lived in the community 29 years and unfortunately with the now diverse neighborhoods that were once 13 has come much crime, graffiti, garbage, especially hate the sounds of gun shots. The only steady officer present during the day is Mr. Godinez we need more officer presence. Thank you
As a member of this community for over 20 years and crime increasing exponentially in the recent years and especially the last few months, I support this petition and believe we in this community need a dedicated car to this beat.
008 is a large enough district and Beat 834 needs more protection for the Citizens & for Officer Safety as well. Thank You.
I’ve lived here for over 50 years and the decline of the neighborhood is heartbreaking. We need extra help and support. The “atmosphere “ here is very unsettling. Thank you in advance.
Please keep Beat 834 west of Central Park Ave mainly 7600 S Pulaski to 7600 S Cicero Aves 7600 S Pulaski Ave to 8700 S Pulaski Ave

I firmly agree that it takes police forever to arrive. About a month ago my home alarm went of I wasn’t home police arrived an hour and 23 minutes after the alarm went of. I just thank god that it turned out to be a false alarm.
