Kno we did. Id. We did a town haul meeting for folks. We also sent male out and we did advertise. Some people didnt get the message and thats on us.

With knewly confirmed cases of zika in our area, neighbors met together tonight to learno how to protect themselves. Case i anthonys attorney isis following back after accusations that he accepted sex. What hes saying about the claim as fox5 news continues. Hello, everybody and welcomery back. Thehelife here from National Harbor. Arb its a little warm yet. I think the humidity is we are roling. Olin speaking of things warming up, you know, as the season starts to get warmer, as the weather starts to role in for am areaea residents who are in neighborhoods that are attacked by crime. We posted anx story on the fox5 Facebook Page recently about abt man who was shot and killed in temple hills. The responses to that story were surprising. I want to read a couple of them to you. James wrote in, he said this iss not news anymore, these shootings, whooped do. Bianca hill wrote this iss getting scary. And william asked when will itl stopped. Its just Getting Started and certainly we hope that is not the case. Case and here to join us right now to talk about a little bit to keep us safe is the police chief, thanks so much for joining us. First off youve heard some ofoe the things that we read, clearlr residents who live georges county are concerned as to as the warmer weather approaches, crime starts toarts approach, too. What kind of words do you haveyu for them. Fo what can you tell them aboutl their concern cans and their fears. Ill answer that question ino two ways. S. First ill say that we continuen to make tremendous strides in Prince Georges County in termsm of crime reduction. As we sit here now violent crimt in the county has been reducedeu 12 percent again this year overr last year which was historical in terms of numbers. Property climb is down a 15 percent. Fatal collision, fatal crashes are down 40 percent. The other thing ill say is that fully acknowledge is that if you witness one of these terribleer events that those numbers dont mean anything to you. And thats why i as the police chief and our entire agency is completely invested not inn catching people once theyve committed these terrible crimesr but permitting them in the first place. And so one of the things that id like to talk briefly aboutri is our initiative with next door and thats how we have the opportunity to connect with people in your area. Rea. Social media is a tremendous tool. What next door does is allow uss to speak directly to theire neighborhood where you live and im encouraging all of thehe members of our family in Prince Georges County to reach out to the district that serves yount d connect with the cops officer who is running the next door program in your neighborhood. How do folks find out about that . Where do they know too join this next door program. We started this a few months ago. S were billing in terms of numbers. Contact the district station that serves you in Prince Georges County and theyll be able to help the community to t join next door andhe receive the messages. Back to the fear piece which something uppermost in my mind. D right. This is allowing us to connect with people and we havee Community Advisory groups and councils, but everybody has a time to come in and be part ofpt those meetings. The information that receive from those officers are things that matter to you in your neighborhood. Its also an opportunity for yo to connect with the department and bring your concerns to us su we can address them. M. In just about 20 seconds, weree running short on time, youve targeted specific communities, specific neighborhoods in order to try to see some improvement. How has that been going and what you will be doing during the the course of the summer to continue the efforts. We continue to operate and move the department in realtime. Every day at 9 00 i have an executive meeting where we look at the last 4 hours, look atk trends both historically and see where were going to get thethe biggest investment on our crime and we check on them again during the course of the day. I know that people dont feel well despite the numbers andnd thats why i want to connect in this different way using next door and again were here to prevent crime not to address itd once its happened. Appe thats our focus and thats our commitment. Do you have any special funcial plan my little girl is eager to go to disney world. So were working to plan that trip, take her down there to see a large mouse. I hope you have fun. Enjoy the mouse this summer. Its been a reel privilege tv join this summer. We appreciate the it. T. Lets go back to sarah and marina in the studio. We continue to see new cases ofs the zika virus in our region. Three of them in virginia. Irgi there are now 18 confirmed casef in that state, 17 in marylandin and five in d. C. Mosquito season is in full swing and with that comes new concerns about the spread of the virus this summer. Fox5 Lindsay Watts is life in Silver Springs where Health Officials held a meeting on how to protect yourself. Lindsay we hear that meeting was a full house. I was one of at least twoleas dozen people who had to stand up for this meeting because thereh was not enough seats here. Well show you the video now. You can see i was a packed and these folks came armed withe a lot of questions. Even though at this point we still havent seen anyn mosquitoes here in the us transmitting zika. Health officials said that coult start happening at any time. For now all the cases have frome people oversees. Rsee zika is a big concern for pregnant women because of the birth did he effects. Effe and it links adults to a brain. Novak seen or treatment for zika but they also wanted to put thit into perspective. So this is not a time where you want to have panic. S thats not the situation we have now. Its a time for preparation. It isnt a unique disease. Its never been before a disease that has both gone virus, transmitted, birth defects. Its very unique. So you need to be aware of its uniques and respond accordingly. And how the Health Officialsi said well start seeing the mosquitoes transmit zika some im this summer. Take measures to avoid mosquito bites. Wear long sleeves and pants when youre outside. Ut make sure your window screens are in Good Condition andnd finally get rid of standing water around your home as the mosquitoes that breathe zika really are prone to water thatt can even if it into a bottle cap. If you are headed to the lake or the river for this memorial day weekend, certainly take precautions, but just knowknow theres no reason to have any reel concern there.
