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<BR>
CVCBD's regular Wednesday COP patrol. <BR>
<BR>
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. <BR>

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.<BR>
