Crime Concerns on Tap for Sept. 9 HWTN Meeting with MPD Representative

The Milwaukee Police Department’s Tom Klein, our area’s community liaison officer, will speak and answer questions about crime and crime trends in our neighborhood and the city at our next meeting 7 p.m. Wednesday Sept. 9, 2015.

patch-thumbThe presentation is part of Historic Water Tower Neighborhood’s next monthly meeting, which is open to the public.

The meeting takes place in Lake Park Pavilion’s Marcia Coles Community Room, (lower level, below Bartolotta’s Lake Park Bistro). Come a little early to chat with neighbors and enjoy cookies and coffee courtesy of Bartolotta’s.

Note: Our meetings are generally held the first Wednesday evening of each month, but due to that night landing before Labor Day this September, we’ve rescheduled the meeting for Sept. 9. Next month, we return to our regular schedule.
