LoHaMNA General Meeting March 13, 2017

Called to order at 732

1.       Introductions
2.       Lieutenant Mike Nelson (Northern Station)

Problem is pursuit policy and need to stay within realm of policy

Chasing all dirt bikes through city streets would create bigger danger for citizens

Get them at starting or ending points

Follow bikers on social media sites where they post their plans so try and act before or after the event

Identified several bikers and few arrests regarding different events

Solution is to get them when gassing up at beginning or when wrapping up

Citizen concern that going through stop signs/red lights and see them as a danger to me and my family so asking about the policy of not pursuing them

Response: they want to be chased so can go on faster and longer, but I agree with you 100% and frustrates me

Task force that investigating and looking at plans to address the situation, working on a better plan

Question: what can neighbors do?…
