Concerned neighbors are meeting this Thursday, January 14th to discuss a proposed private Queen Anne Patrol to help curb crime on Queen Anne. The proposed private security patrols would be neighbor-funded, similar to the Magnolia Patrol that started in December.
Note: the Queen Anne Patrol is separate from any SPD organized Neighborhood Watch groups. (photo to upper right used because the Queen Anne Patrol website is under construction)
The organizer of the Queen Anne Patrol is neighbor John Compatore, a former Oakland Police Department officer.
Private security in Magnolia runs $250 per year, per household with patrols on duty 4-6 days per-week. You can read more about the Magnolia Patrol here and here.
If you’re interested in learning more, you can sign up for updates on the Queen Anne Patrol website, and also attend Thursday’s meeting, which will be held at 7pm at the Queen Anne Baptist Church, 2011 1st Ave N. All are welcome to attend and learn more.
