At least three residents south of campus (elm heights) have described a "scruffy male" (2 noted him on a bike) taking mail and/or UPS packages from their porch. Perhaps some afternoon patrolling would help. One evening attempted break-in also recently described. Thank you.
Hello, I live near the Building Trades Park. For at least the past six weeks, the shelter nearest the playground has been consistently occupied by the same three to six individuals. They are most likely homeless. About three weeks ago, they became violent with our neighbors, and the police were called twice. Two individuals in the group displayed a knife and a metal pole. Arguments seem to keep breaking out. These individuals also frequently have one to two dogs with them, which are not leashed. If other residents wished to use this shelter, they cannot. This group is there from at least 7am (when I leave my house in the mornings) until the park closes around 11pm. I don't feel safe knowing that this group has claim "turf" as if the shelter is their home. I've voiced my concerns with a Park Department Employee who told me that the group is entitled to stay there. This is a public park, not their home. I have lived on Howe Street for the past two years, and this has never been a problem. However, I do not feel safe anymore. Please address this issue. Thank you for your time.
Failure of bloomington police department to respond to create an incident report of a serious health threat. On Oct. 28 at approximately 12:45 pm I ordered a sandwich from wichwich sandwich store on East Kirkwood ave and ask them to not place bacon on the sandwich because I have mammalian meat allergy, an allergy to all mammal meat that causes anaphylaxis. I went back to work at 517 E. Kirkwood Ave. and began to eat and after a few bites discovered there was bacon on the sandwich. I immediately returned to wichwich and they apologized for the mistake, admitting their error. I called bloomington police to fill out an incident report because anaphylaxis in mammalian meat allergy occurs 5-7 hours after consumption, when I will be at home 12 miles away from a hospital. If I have to go to the emergency room and receive any resultant care or if there is any medical or health damage - LIKE DEATH - due to this error, I wanted a police report that included the statements from the employees that they had heard my request and erred, so as to be able to support any need for costs and damages that will occur. The bloomington police department refused to send an officer to the scene. I learned this after I called the police department back after waiting 40 minutes at the store. The sergeant on duty as shift commander who refused to send a unit to the scene was Rashe. there is no place on this city website to lodge a complaint, only a place to offer compliments.....right....So what a wonderful city; hopefully my child won't be without a father after tonight.
So I applied for a gun/concealed carry permit. I paid the fee, then got my fingerprints. They told me to go to a sheriff so I went to the sheriff's office at 301 N College Ave. They said I had to go to the office on 3rd street. I went there and the building was closed so I could not complete my application. What do I need to do from here?
I lost my wallet on the night of 2/23 somewhere between Central Lanes Bowling Alley and the 10th and College Apartments. It is a small pink wallet with my ID, social security card, IU Crimson Card, and debit cards.
I am concerned that the foot massage spa in the 500 block of West 4th may be engaged in sex trafficking. I often see Asian women outside smoking, but if I smile or say hi, they run inside. (I am female and non-threatening in appearance if that matters.) it may be just a cultural or language barrier, and I have no evidence, but I would appreciate it if someone would check on this to make sure the women are safe and there voluntarily. Thank you.
Need a fence also to keep homeless away from our door also ! At the Switchyard apartment complex on Rogers st . If I put my plant outside for sunshine some one steals it ! Not safe at the Switchyard apartment. My neighbors are in worsening health do to what the city has built and not protecting the handicap tenants! I have call the cops . Last time they don’t show up just called back . And they can not arrest anyone trespassing without a sign ! It will be the city’s fault if anyone dies due to this happening on a day to day basses . Help all of us out of this mess . I’m willing to let the landlord to stay in my apartment for a week if he can stand it !!! And survived. It’s no place for the handicap! Make the apartments safe !
I was walking on the B-Line this afternoon from approximately 3-4 p.m. While walking, a motorized bike was traveling at what I felt was an unsafe speed up and down the B-Line from 1st to 10th street. As he was approaching the Kirkwood area, he weaved in an out of walkers, joggers and other regular bikers.
There are drugs in an abandoned lot in Southcrest Estates, #189. Syringes are out in the open, a white powdery substance is underneath the leaves, knives, and sharps container. Kids are playing non-stop in that area. The sheriff's department did not 'patrol' the area last night, someone needs to clean this up before the kids get hurt!!
I'd like to request a police patrol for the section of Eastside Drive between Hunter and 2nd Street. This area, particularly the parking lot of the United Presbyterian Church and adjacent rental properties, are sites of frequent noise violations between 11 pm and 3 am.
