This is the community’s opportunity to speak out on individuals whose activities affect their sense of safety and well-being in their neighborhood.

If you have observed this person engaging in conduct that negatively impacts our community, please consider writing a community impact statement describing that conduct and how it has impacted you and the neighborhood as a whole.

If you haven’t observed this individual, but are experiencing similar problems with other people engaging in similar conduct which negatively impacts our community, please consider writing an impact statement as well.
