Christine,

Here is what was posted on the discussion list on 6/18 (None of it was 
from a police person):

I do not know if there was any more said about whether to call 911.  But 
if kids appear to be up to no good and if the police arrive as the kids 
are assaulting someone, you will have helped the police to stop a crime 
in progress.  We have a serious crime problem in Charles Village; we can 
see whether Thursday's meeting sponsored by CVCBD and JHU will do any 
good.  And I will repeat my advice that everyone get a crime watch 
number.  I would guess that forms for getting a crime watch number will 
be available at the meeting.  And you can ask when seeing a large group 
of kids justifies calling 911.

Steve.
