CRIME AWARENESS INFORMATION The following information relates to crimes that have occurred during the previous week. Below, you will see a brief description of each crime type and some explanatory notes. The icon that will be used on the map is given with the crime type description. The map is designed to give you enough information to see crimes occurring near you, but should not compromise any individual s privacy. Please understand that it would be too labor intensive to provide exact addresses, dates, or times for each individual crime. When I am able, I will provide you with suspect and vehicle information tied to particular crimes. If you do not see a map with your neighborhood for a crime type, then good for you! Your area was either not victimized or had minimal activity with little to no information that would assist you. Keep your eyes open and work hard to keep it that way! I will also do my best to provide you information on arrests for various crimes so that you can take that information into account as you assess the safety of your homes and businesses. As these sometimes occur weeks afterward, we do not always know when they occur. For example, when a patrol officer arrests someone for a burglary warrant, the location or particulars of the crime are not detailed in the warrant. It would take time to research that case and find what crime the warrant was issued in relation to. The patrol officer does not need that information to book the arrestee in and does not have time to do the research. The Citizen's Crime Commission is an organization that as a part of its mission assists citizens in organizing and sustaining Alert Neighbor and Citizen s Alert Patrol groups. This includes facilitating communication with law enforcement. If you need assistance with forming a new Alert Neighbor group or getting the most out of the one you belong to, or forming Citizen s Alert Patrol group, the Citizen's Crime Commission can assist you. If you would like an officer who patrols your area to attend a meeting, please make that request through Carol Bush with the Citizen's Crime Commission. Her telephone number is (918) 585-5209 and her email address is cbush@crimecomok.org. Their website is full of information and crime prevention tips to help you out. I encourage you to visit the Tulsa Police Website at www.tulsapolice.org for more resources to help you stay safe. All media inquiries related to this publication should be routed through the Public Information Office. 2
I will plot this category and give you basic information on these crimes. They generally do not pertain to anything that would affect you as an individual. Most homicides in Tulsa have nothing to do with the honest citizens of Tulsa. Rest assured, if information points to a contributing factor in our control, such as the way in which a nightclub operates or chronic drug dealing at a location, I will inform you and deal with it. If you have questions or information regarding homicides, the preferred method of contact for the supervisor of the homicide unit is email. Sgt. Dave Walker can be reached at dwalker@cityoftulsa.org. His desk phone is 918-596-9135. HOMICIDES No homicides to report from last week. Out of the 20 homicides city wide year to date, we have only three homicides in the Mingo Valley area. The only open homicide in our area from this year is the narcotics related shooting death of Miguel Morales-Perez at 2124 S. Garnett Rd. on 020911. Anyone with information on this crime should contact Crimestoppers at (918) 596-COPS or Homicide Detective Roger Smith at (918) 596-9353. 3
MVD averages about 5 rapes a month. We rarely have a stranger rape. Rapes generally involve domestic situations or acquaintance situations which generally do not present an opportunity for action. For this reason, and in order to protect the anonymity of victims, I will not routinely plot rapes. Rest assured that if a stranger rape occurs, I will notify you. If you have questions or information regarding a rape, the preferred method of contact for the supervisor of the sex crimes unit is email. Sgt. Mark Mears can be reached at mmears@cityoftulsa.org. His desk phone is 918-596- 9168. RAPES 1 1. Acquaintance rape. 4
This category refers to theft of property from a person or business where force or fear is used. It can involve a weapon or no weapon. Home invasion robberies will be mapped. Nearly ALL home invasion robberies are tied to drug dealing, gambling, or certain knowledge of money in the home. Nearly ALWAYS, the suspects are known to the victim. If we experience a home invasion that does not fit this profile, I will notify you. If you have questions or information regarding robberies, the preferred method of contact for the 2supervisor of the robbery unit is email. Sgt. Brandon Watkins can be reached at robbery@cityoftulsa.org. Sgt. Watkin s desk phone is 918-596-9137. 3 3 2 9 1 5 11 10 4 8 12 6 14 7 13 See Comments Below 5

This category will include breaking and entering homes, businesses, garages, or sheds for the purpose of committing a crime. It does not apply to any sort of trespassing. Although technically classified as larcenies by the FBI, for the sake of simplicity I will include burglaries from vehicles (BFVs) in this category. Residential burglaries predominantly happen during the day when no one is home. 1 st degree burglaries, which are burglaries that occur when someone is home, are primarily related to domestics or happen when a burglar makes a mistake. Intentional 1 st degree burglaries for the purpose of theft are extremely rare. I will advise you if we identify incidents of that nature. If you have questions or information regarding burglaries, including burglaries from vehicles, the preferred method of contact for the supervisor of the burglary unit is email. Sgt. Brandon Watkins can be reached at bwatkins@cityoftulsa.org. His desk phone is 918-596-9180. Nighttime Residential Burglaries 3 4 5 7 1 6 See Comments Below 8
