North Precinct Advisory Council Minutes for Oct. 2012

This month’s guest speaker at NPAC was Seattle City Councilmember Tim Burgess. He spoke about public safety portions of the proposed 2013 city budget, a possible gunshot recognition system, and strategies to reduce crime. See other agenda in the minutes here.

One interesting note about gunshots – SPD compiles a gunshot reportĀ from the 911 call log. During the discussion, some folks agreed that there were a lot of gunshots around Lake City, but the Captain said Lake City does not register as an especially hot spot.

When I’ve heard gunshots I get a little scared and I grumble and I wonder if that’s what they really are, but I don’t call 911. Now I think we should call 911 and get those events in the report.

The more SPD knows what’s going on, the better it can tune the patrols to serve us.
