Welcome to the Mid-City West Public Safety Page!

The Public Safety Committee serves as a liaison with law enforcement agencies, community groups, and other stakeholders to facilitate the creation of a safe and secure environment within the MCW boundaries through crime abatement projects, prevention, and educational efforts.

Current Projects

1) Public Safety Walks to introduce Committee and Community members to public safety issues within MCW "on the street". We recently conducted a successful public safety walk in the Melrose area and are looking to organize another.

Please forward any suggestion for future Public Safety Walk locations to Public Safety Co-Chairs Paul Lerner and    Tara Brown at plerner@midcitywest.org and tbrown@midcitywest.org.

2) Unregulated marijuana dispensaries have been opening rapidly in our community, in violation of a City-wide moratorium on new dispensaries.

Serious crimes have occurred at some of these dispensaries, and we are concerned about their impact on our community's public safety. This map shows the distribution of marijuana dispensaries in the Mid City West area and neighboring communities:
