The Chief of Police for the Metropolitan Police Department in
Washington, DC has sent out an S.O.S., calling on organizations,
fellow District agencies, companies, members of the clergy and
more to provide her with a list of planned summer events that will be
properly supervised at little to no cost. This list will be combined
with a list provided by the department's lieutenants to make up a
comprehensive calendar of summer events that will cover the duration
of the summer vacation for youth who attend DC Public Schools. (Last
Day of School: June 14th) (First Day of School: Aug 25th).
The calendar will also include information about registering for local
police camps and Camp Brown, a one-week overnight camp, supervised by
directors of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington.
The purpose of the SoS program is to provide the list of events to
public school youth and their parents before the end of the school
year as a way of providing options that might prevent summer-related
juvenile delinquency, oftentimes caused by boredom and lack of
supervision.
This year, the department will again utilize and disseminate the
information on printed calendars; the police website
(www.mpdc.dc.
gov); through print, radio and televised media, as well
as a special police hotline 202-Im-Bored (462-6733) for the youth and
their parents.
We are also working to develop a MySpace© webpage and utilize
YouTube.com to get the word out to the District's youth.
Please use the attached Calendar Submission form to send us
information about your events.
Together, in partnership, through customized community policing, we
can help Take a Bite Out of Crime to make this year the Summer of Safety.
