Residents on 97th and Forest reported Memorial Day hold-up at gun point, by teens. Gun shots were reported on 97th and Prairie also. Residents were upset by slow response time of police and lack of action. The responding officers showed lack of concern, were dismissive of reported crime, and somewhat disrespectful. Residents wans something done about adult and teen loitering in the community. They are dissatisfied with the lack of police patrols in Roseland Heights. There is very little visible police presence during the day and none (that can be seen) at night. The community wants to be supportive of police. They feel that the larceny theft, motor vehicle theft, burglary, auto repair on the street and in alley could all be reduced or stopped by mobile, foot, and bike patrols in conjunction.
