Councilman Kelly to host community meeting on public safety
(February 13, 2013) - Concern about an increase in criminal activity in
Oklahoma City has prompted Ward 7 Councilman Skip Kelly to host community
meeting on public safety. The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on
February 21 in the City Council Chamber on the third floor of City Hall, 200
N Walker.
“The increase in violent crime in Oklahoma City and specifically in
northeast Oklahoma City is unacceptable,” Councilman Skip Kelly said.
“This meeting will help us address these issues head-on and work with police
and other community partners to create a strategy to reduce the violence.”
According to Kelly drug activity, gangs, crime prevention, domestic abuse
and issues associated with public housing will be discussed.
Speakers include Oklahoma City Police Chief Bill Citty,
YWCA chief executive officer Janet Peery and Oklahoma City Housing Authority
executive director Mark W. Gillett.
“We will listen to resident’s safety concerns and work hard to address
them,” Kelly added.
