Update on PSA 307

Our thanks to Sgt. Stuart Emerman for providing the following:

From November 10 through November 13, 2005, the officers in 307, along with officers of the Major Narcotics Branch, Prostitution Enforcement Unit, made several arrests that address the concerns of the residents in the Logan Circle area.

In particular, on 11/10, four (4) females were arrested for prostitution related charges in the area of Vermont and N Street, NW. On 11/12, two (2) females were arrested in Logan Circle, and three (3) were arrested in the area of 13th and L Streets NW. On 11/13, two (2) more were arrested in the area of Vermont and L Streets NW.

Based upon the stats that I am looking at, there was also another female arrested on a failure to appear warrant on 11/11 in the 1100 block of 13th Street NW, but it is unknown if that was a result of a prostitution related stop.

In addition to these arrests, there were several others made during the weekend, but since the majority of "quality of life" calls that we get are related to prostitution, I wanted the neighborhood to know about these. I will post more information as I get it, and will attempt to answer any comments that are directed towards the MPD.

Thanks for your continued support and assistance.

While I am glad that you are cracking down on prostitution, I don't feel any safer knowing that there are fewer hookers on the streets. I am more worried about the robberies and beatings. Have any suspects been charged with those incidents?

Thanks for your efforts and responses, Sgt. Emerman. I share anonymous's anxiousness to hear good news about progress against violent crime in particular. But I (and everyone else here, I'm sure) appreciate all that you and your fellow police officers are doing.

Channel 4 reported last night that there were some arrests in PG County of some teens that had jacked a large number of cars and were implicated in a string of robberies in Adams-Morgan and Columbia Heights. Were these the kids holding people up in our neighborhood?

I am very thankful for work to get rid of prostitution in the area. Violence is my greatest concern, but drugs and prostitution are long term issues that have been blighting our neighborhood diminishing quality of life and property values. We need to hit those issues head on.
