There is a homeless camp located between Old SR 37 and North Walnut, just north of 45. The entrance is on Old 37 as you head down into Lower Cascades Park. I witnessed multiple individuals entering the area on Saturday afternoon. With a social distancing guidelines in place, it seems like an encampment is a disaster waiting to happen.
There are two men passed out on the sidewalk on Kirkwood outside the Graduate Hotel
Thursday 03/05/2020: My wife was involved in a traffic accident where a lady ran a red light and then merged left into my wife. My wife called BPD to report the accident and officer C. Brummett (ID # 1578) responded. Officer Brummett exchanged the "Drivers Exchange Information" form to both parties. 03/06/2020: My wife called BPD after the 24 hour period following an accident where the law states that ANY VEHICLE ACCIDENT WHERE THE DAMAGES EXCEED $1,000, THE RESPONDING OFFICER SHALL FILE A REPORT. She was able to contact officer Brummett and he said he didn't file a report as there were "only minor damages". My wife explained that the damages to our car alone was $5,000. Officer Brummett stated that he wasn't a body man and couldn't estimate the damages. Officer Brummett then said he would have a report done and filed by Monday (03/09/2020). 03/09/2020: At the time of this writing it is 03/09/2020 @ 3:26PM. A report still hasn't been filed and according to BPD administration officer is out today. They also state that officer Brummett will be in training tomorrow, 03/10/2020, and not available. The person we've been in contact with also refused to let us speak with the Chief of Police about this situation and said to call back tomorrow. This is entirely unacceptable. We need a police report filed to get our BRAND NEW CAR repaired and officer Brummett has been irresponsible in his duties. The law states that the officer SHALL have a report filed within 24 hours. It's now been 4 days and it hasn't been done yet. Report # B20-09784
What is wrong with the police or resource officers or who ever is suppose to respond to noise complaints??? If you have had 5 plus callers for the same address and then proceed to tell me someone MAY come out its low on our priority list. So the safety and well being of your community is definitely not number one on your list I see. Why have an ordnance if you aren't going to in force it?!
People living in woods on city property Southwest corner of 11th and Rogers... trash, bicycles, tarps, trash cans
I called the Bloomington police department this evening to report a noise complaint (someone in the apartment complex adjacent to mine is playing incredibly loud rap music). I was told by someone on the phone that the noise ordinance in Bloomington does not start until 11 pm, however, section 14.09.030 states that "Sound that is clearly audible to a person with normal hearing from any place other than the premises from which the source of the sound is located, when the sound occurs between the hours of nine p.m. and seven a.m., is prima facie evidence of a violation of this section." The lady was pleasant, and told me that she would send someone over to look into it, but she was convinced that the city of Bloomington's noise ordinance did not go into affect until 11 pm. Might be worth looking into.
I'm in Bloomington quite often and like shopping at Walmart and Target, but I'm handicapped with a permit, but can never find a handicap space because everyone is parking illegal, I have never in all my years seen anyone being ticketed in these lots. I'm sure everyone else like me has thought about shopping elsewhere.
My wallet was stolen from my cousins car. It was left open for 20 minutes when went back it was done. I had my social and my permission to work id. What's the next step?
Ms. Banks said she had reported an abandoned car across from her house two weeks ago but couldn't remember who she talked to. Car is still there.
We had a request for extra patrols to monitor the intersection at Kingston and Longview. The caller said drivers routinely "fly through" the busy intersection, putting other motorists and pedestrians at risk.
