Greetings.
We need moving violation enforcement and an increase in people who can do traffic law enforcement. Can someone in BPD as well as OOTM please read this article and consider how the City of Bloomington may work to make their streets actually safe and civil... Please take note of the quote about their goal. I think Bloomington needs to make the goal of public safety a top and most important priority!
This is what the city of New Orleans is doing to help their police department with their staff shortages.
'They will have duties such as monitoring phone and online reports, issuing traffic citations, surveying major events like Mardi Gras and the Essence Festival and even doing some investigative work.
Civilians would additionally be dispatched to calls that may not require an officer, such as collecting preliminary evidence, securing loose pets and responding to forgery, certain medical episodes and some thefts, New Orleans Police Superintendent Shaun Ferguson said last Thursday.
'The goal of all of this is to make our officers feel safe so that they can make our citizens and visitors feel safe,' Ferguson said. 'This is also to reduce some of the workload currently placed on our patrol and district personnel. But more importantly this is designed to reduce response time and address the backlogs in which we have in some of our districts.'"

I am incredibly frustrated that I can't get an answer to my initial uReport. Most recently, RayeAnn Cox responded to the wrong ticket. Please don't close the case before I have a chance to respond! She responded to someone else's uReport, not mine. Mine was 181440 (NOT 181441). I then followed that up (because I got no satisfactory response) with 181592. Can someone please reply WITHOUT closing the case?

The person in apartment 3 leaves his empty trash cans on the sidewalk for days after pick up. They are still out there. I have not seen him to tell him about it and he is not there when I knock. Please give him a HAND welcome to Bloomington packet and let him know he needs to take his cans off the sidewalk after trash day.

When can I expect a response to UReport 181441? Note that this was a second request about an earlier UReport filed mid-August but closed before it was resolved satisfactorily. I would appreciate a response. Thank you!

A small grey and white dog is regularly let out with no supervision and no leash. It runs back and forth across the street and has chased several neighbors. It's barking constantly when it's out. A neighbor just east of the location is calling it Smokey and seems to know who it belongs to.
