Do you want to know the criminals getting arrested on your block, and the name of the landlord that rents to them?

Here’s how you can do it and post it on the NECP Facebook page for all to know about.

Step one: Go to the Hennepin county jail booking webpage: http://www4.co.hennepin.mn.us/webbooking/

We talk a lot about crime and statistics. Have you ever wondered what happens to the people who are arrested in your area?

Have you ever wondered what happens when someone accused of a crime goes to court? Have you ever wondered why some people seem to get punished more than others? Those are just a couple questions we could help you answer.

We have had a couple issues and questions recently about whether a call should go to 311 or 911.

When to call 311 = when you are looking to ask a question, get information on city services, or talk to a city employee directly, but don't know their phone number or which person specifically you should talk to.

Attention Block Club Leaders and Community Partners:

We need your help. As you know the 2nd Precinct is starting to see an increase in vacant houses. These vacant homes have multiple negative effects on our neighborhoods including increased crime, lower property values, and livability issues.

The Minneapolis Police Department Child Abuse Unit is partnering with the popular FOX-TV program, America’s Most Wanted’s website to track down a fugitive wanted for multiple sexual assaults on a small girl.

We welcome over 1200 new owners and managers of rental property to our Action Alert list since August of this year! This is a 25% increase since August and nearly double since the beginning of 2010. Due to the great numbers of new owners on the list, we are sending this note as a kind of "One-Stop Shop" list of routine items you may have questions about.

I have not heard about this happening in Minneapolis, but I think everyone should know about these bottle bombs as they will most likely make it hear at some point.
