 About Us
C.O.P.S. East originally
began on East Sprague before moving to the present site of 3001 East 5th
and was renamed C.O.P.S. Haven. The shop has been on East 5th for
ten years as of August 15, 2004 and is known as East Central C.O.P.S.
The boundary lines of East Central Extend north to Trent and south to
17th, east to Havana and west to Division. The Neighborhood
Resource Officer (NRO) and the Code Enforcement Officer also service
beyond the designated area to the Chief Garry Park vicinity and Park
Water neighborhood. Code Enforcement services to 29th Street.
Two years after opening
on East 5th, two officers from the Department of Corrections became a
part of the working staff, followed by a code enforcement officer.
Our new NRO is Officer Shaney Redmon. There has been three presidents,
Tom Bernard, Marian Zoesch and the now active President Lois D'Ewart.
In addition to the
regular shop activities East Central has a
Neighborhood Observation Patrol
(NOP) program and Block Watch. There is participation at the Perry
Street Fair in July and Unity in the Community at Liberty Park in
August. The C.O.P.S. Shop also works with the East Central
Steering Committee in doing an annual neighborhood cleanup.
Services
We at East Central
have worked hard again this year! Previous
NRO Bill Schaber, Code Enforcement
Officer Scott Emerson and CCOs Matt Shanks and Chris Schilling have
worked hand-in-glove this last year to clean up numerous trouble spots
in the neighborhood. Our garbage pick-up program was a huge success
this year thanks to Paul Cramer. We worked at the “Perry Street Fair”
and “Unity in the Community” last summer. At Christmas, we supplied
dinner to two families in our neighborhood and made a donation to Angel
Ministries who purchase gifts for children whose parents are in jail.
Also, we distributed 1500 stuffed animals to 817
families in the neighborhood as part of our Stuffed Animals for Love
project.
