Charles Village Leaders, Police Commissioner, Councilmembers

Unite to Stop Violence in its Tracks 

Press Conference: Wednesday, July 28, 6:00 pm, corner of St. Paul &East 
26th Streets

Charles Village leaders and Citizens On Patrol (COP) walkers will join 
together for a press conference with Police Commissioner Frederick Bealefeld, 
Northern District Police officials and Charles Village Councilmembers Carl 
Stokes, Belinda Conaway and Mary Pat Clarke at the start of the regular 
Wednesday COP patrol. David Hill, director of the Charles Village Community 
Benefits District, and CVCBD's Community Safety Coordinator Walter Brown are 
coordinating this event in conjunction with
CVCBD's regular Wednesday COP patrol. 

This event is to confirm the community's solidarity in expressing its 
profound sympathy to the family of homicide victim and neighbor Stephen Pitcairn 
and mobilizing this active and historic neighborhood in joining forces with 
its partner institutions and City agencies to stop this violence in its 
tracks. Director Hill will announce the convening of a community and partners 
summit to plan and coordinate an all-out strategy to "fight back" and restore 
Charles Village to its traditional safety and sociability. This summit will 
also be promoted at the three Night Out locations in Charles Village on 
August 3. 

As a first step, CVCBD and Charles Village Councilmembers have pledged to 
monitor court proceedings involving the two suspects arrested by Northern 
District in the tragic and senseless homicide of Stephen Pitcairn. "No more 
revolving doors," the councilmembers have pledged, according to Councilmembers 
Stokes, Conaway and Clarke.
