We sincerely need your help with reporting recent use of Jan Park by homeless folks as a campground, and place to hang out. It's so important that we make sure our beautiful park is preserved for use by everyone who wants to enjoy it's natural beauty, support safety in the surrounding community, enjoy quality time, and promote lawful use of a public amenity. The current problems we are experiencing have multiple symptoms, but has led to dumping of garbage, narcotic use, alcohol abuse, and concern by many on their safe use of the park. Please report suspicious behavior of all sorts; using the water fountain for personal hygiene needs, idling and loitering of individuals who seem to be carrying large amounts of plastic bags with clothing, hanging out by individuals without children, pets, or other common reasons to be in a park environment, etc. contact the non-emergency number at 916-874-5115 for crimes not in progress and use 911 for immediate needs where you are witnessing a crime in progress ( drug deals definitely count!) I also strongly encourage you to use 311 to report violations like illegal dumping from homeless ( you can use the mobile app for added convenience), and Tip Submit. The more we report, the more our sheriff's department will recognize our need for help. Contact Jerry Epler at Carmichael Recreation Park District to report camping, and dumping in the park as well at jeppler@carmichaelpark.com
Check in with us at Nextdoor.com and the Lincoln-Barrett Neighborhood Watch on Facebook to keep up with latest concerns, connect with your neighborhood watch street coordinator via email, and please help is be a strong, active presence in the park!!
Thank you all!!
