Jennifer, our children and I would like to extend to all of you our heartfelt gratitude for
the opportunity to serve you and to help with the many challenges that our
community has faced together this past year. Many of you have generously shared
your good ideas and have helped our office by being our eyes and ears in the
community. Together, we have endured the inconveniences that come with the many
infrastructure projects, road projects and the pressures of some of the social
issues that are impacting our families. You have shared with us many of your
accomplishments and allowed us to celebrate with you. We have been encouraged
by the spirit of the residents of Metro District 10 and by your willingness to work
together to make our neighborhoods and communities great places to live and
work. Thank you for all you do for each other, our D10 Neighborhoods and for our entire community. We look
forward to working with you this coming year. We wish you all a Joyful Holiday Season and a Prosperous New Year.

split in three locations, into a single site.
Critical daily functions, such as

Help minimize crime - take care with your vehicle
 From Major Mike Bogan, LMPD 6th Division Commander: In review of last week’s crime, I noticed a trend regarding
car theft and car break-ins. There are members of the public that are still
leaving their vehicles unlocked with valuables still inside. Due to the
weather change, people are also leaving their vehicles running unattended.
Please advise the public to take the following crime prevention tips:
- Lock and secure vehicles
- Do not leave anything of value inside of
vehicle. Including firearms, wallets, ID, etc.
- Do not keep spare keys in vehicle.
- Do not leave vehicle running unattended in
driveways or at the fuel pump.
