Session Invite from Leif re: Clinton Rose Center

Good Afternoon,

On behalf of the Harambee Great Neighborhood Initiative, I would like to invite you to attend the upcoming Clinton & Bernice Rose Park Resident Input Sessions. At this event, the Harambee Great Neighborhood Initiative will be asking Harambee area residents and stakeholders to voice their visions for the revitalization of Clinton & Bernice Rose park, located on the southwest corner of Burleigh and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Drive. Complimentary food and beverages will be provided.

Staff and other stakeholders will be on hand to discuss the historic and present day significance of the park, answer questions pertaining to the park’s redevelopment, respond to concerns residents may have, and provide a venue for neighbors to take a lead role in the planning process.

Acting as the organizing entity for a coalition of Harambee area stakeholders, the HGNI has always placed an emphasis on supporting area residents in realizing their vision for the community. In addition, the sustained interest in the park and the concern for its future has prompted the HGNI to take a lead role on helping this park again become a primary place of pride and involvement for area residents of all ages.

· The session scheduled for the evening of Wednesday, November 13^th will focus on resident, business and stakeholder participation. Representatives from Milwaukee County, Milwaukee County Parks Department, Milwaukee’s Local Initiative Support Corporation, as well as other community leaders, officials, and residents will be taking part in this great event, showing their support of Clinton & Bernice Rose Park and its future.

Again, your attendance and participation in these input sessions will be vital to the long-term success of the park, and is much appreciated. We look forward to your continued partnership and support of the Harambee community.

Please see the attached flyer for event time and location.

Best Regards,

Leif Otteson

MPD D5- Cell Phone Tracking from Officers Kupsik, Osiewalski, and Lt. Wurth

Cell phone tracking 101

In an effort to cut through the information fog we call the Internet I’ve done some research on how to track your lost or stolen cell phone. The technological advances in the area of cell phones in the last ten years has been staggering. On a daily basis we walk around with our lives in our pockets and purses. It is now possible to work, bank, pay bills, play games, entertain, watch movies/TV, organize and be social all from the palm of your hand.

Our favorite electronics manufacturers have taken full advantage of this and push out new phones, tablets, and devices faster than we can keep up. These advances make our devices valuable on the black market and desirable to criminals. From burglaries, and thefts to armed robberies our devices have become a prime target.

So everyone knows where I am getting my information I am going to share some links at the end of this writing. I have tried to stick to well known and trusted information sources. As always do your homework there are numerous applications out there that can help you recover your lost device. Many of them have different features and different costs.

It’s worth noting that many of these programs will also work on your tablets. While doing my research on the android device manager (listed below) I discovered that I could track my Nook reader when it is connected to Wi-Fi.

With a little bit of planning and set up you can help us recover your device and put it where it belongs back in the palm of your hand.

Points to remember:

You will have to set up user names and passwords. Without these we can’t help you get your device back. So keep them written down in a safe place. (Not stored on the missing device)
You cannot install these apps after your device has been stolen so take some time to do it now.
Test out the application so you know how it works
Keep your cell phone box, paperwork and receipts. They often contain important numbers that we can use in the police report and tracking process.
Know how to access your cell phone account online. Many providers can give real time information on how your phone is being used. We can use phone logs to locate suspects. This will also require user names and passwords so keep them safely stored.

Android Phones

This is a solution for android phones with an active Google Account. No app required but you must have an active google account that you have accessed from this phone.
