Attached, please find a copy of <br /> a recent e-mail from a concerned parent. <br /> In response to these concerns, I am asking if there is something we can do to show more police <br /> presence near the skate parks. Is it possible to increase the number of police drive by's near the parks <br /> or have the officers fill out police reports (which are unrelated to the skate parks) in the parking lot <br /> across from the skate parks, or drive through the church parking lots to view the parks? <br /> Any ideas you may have to increase awareness that we are out there for the security of our kids and to <br /> prevent the skate parks from becoming dwelling places for illegal activity would be appreciated. <br />
