John,
Sorry to hear about this and so close to my block 4800 Beaumont.
John have you thought about going to one of the gatherings that the new
commish is giving this week?
Tommorow nighnt at Pinn Memorial Church on North 58th street (double
check that) and Wednesday night at 7 PM at Germantown H.S. I think
that your experience with crime and the treatment by police of victims
of crime is timely. It sounds like the kind of thing that he's looking
to hear about. This feedback from the public can be his mandate for
reformining the status quo in the Police department that he is inheriting.
I don't know if you or anyone has been a juror in the past couple of
years, but it's changed immensely. The seats are comfortable, free
coffee, tea and cakes, vending machines. Respectful treatment from the
judge and the staff at the court. You are treated with dignity which
helps people take their civic duty seriously and act so for the process.

Were I still a Philadelphia resident, would try hard to see the new
commissioner (Was 'gentrified out', moved to Lansdowne in '05)
Was on jury duty a few times during my years in Philly, both in the City
Hall quarters and the new Criminal Justice center juryroom - great
improvement. But I was talking about the facilities in the police
station at 55th (?) and Pine, HQ of the dective unit that covers West
Philly. Unappealing place, especially if you're s-haken up and
over-adrenalined.
Anyone having the ear of local politicians is invited to pass this on,
and claim whatever credit you can get ;-).
Yours, John Desmond
