October 2020 PRESIDENT’S PEN Dear Friends, As many of you know we have had a number of cars stolen from our underground parking lots, above ground parking spaces and above Michele ground garages. The majority Compton, of stolen cars have been from Board President the underground lots. We had two more vehicles stolen this month, in addition to several reports of attempted thefts. The staff and the board of directors have had emails, phone calls and conversations on the growing concern in the community about this. We are deeply concerned about this criminal activity for not only the security of our vehicles, but also for the safety of our neighbors. I would like to share to the best of my ability what we are doing about it and what the next steps will be. We plan to increase the number of Community Response Officers working overnight shifts. They are varying their surveillance to be as unpredictable as possible. We have added hidden cameras and lights in areas of criminal activity. Community Response has been in contact with the Denver Police Department to get information on thefts in the greater community, which by the way, have also significantly increased. We have been in contact with Councilwoman Amanda Sawyer to request greater police presence and investigation. We are trying to connect the dots on times, make of vehicles and locations. The board has voted to change the code to the keypads for underground garages and to close PRESIDENT'S PEN continued on page 5
