CMPD Community Roll Call
ALL Merry Oaks neighbors have been invited to the Eastway Division’s shift changeover for their Roll Call. This is a rare opportunity for our neighborhood to participate in such an event and will include Mayor Pro Tem Dante Anderson
Why Attend?
Our neighborhood has experienced recent and persistent incidents involving indiscriminate firearm discharges, the use of commercial-grade fireworks, and other disturbances that violate City and County ordinances, and potentially state and federal law. This Roll Call is an excellent opportunity for us to:
-Voice our concerns and priorities directly to CMPD and City policymakers.
-Learn more about the steps being taken to address recurring issues.
-Collaborate with law enforcement and local officials to enhance our neighborhood’s safety and quality of life.
Why Is this a unique opportunity for Merry Oaks?
This Roll Call is especially significant because it will include Mayor Pro Tem Dante Anderson, who will join CMPD officers to discuss ongoing challenges, particularly around safety and noise concerns at and near Buena Vida Apartments. Having Mayor Pro Tem Anderson hear concerns directly from Merry Oaks neighbors can be instrumental in advocating for potential changes to City ordinances that could improve our neighborhood's safety and quality of life.
If you work from home or have flexibility during your lunch hour, I encourage all Merry Oaks residents to attend. This is a rare opportunity to have our voices heard by both CMPD and City leadership.
If you have questions or specific concerns you’d like addressed during the Roll Call, please feel free to contact Andrew Knoblich at ajknoblich@gmail.com.
We are incredibly thankful to our Eastway Division officers for extending this opportunity to meet with them and City officials. Your engagement and commitment to Merry Oaks make all the difference, and we hope to see you there!
