| 12th Precinct Community Relations | Detroit Police Department. Sgt. Sherley Bledsoe is the officerin charge. This unit handles a variety of issues, and the officershave concluded that they work most effectively if informationcomes to them through one person for the block’s concerns:
ñ Scheduling requests for street Block parties ñ reserving barricades ñ removing abandoned vehicles ñ addressing blight, some neighborhood quality of lifeissues ñ scheduling home security inspections ñ crime prevention ñ coordinating Neighborhood Watch efforts in theprecinct ñ holding monthly meetings of the 12th PrecinctCommunity Relations meetings (1st Thursdays,7:00PM at the precinct—but check in winter, thegarage might get too cold). Upon request and thepayment of $3.00 in dues, individuals and blockclubs can be added to the mailing list. Speakers andprograms of interest to the precinct are always on theagenda.
