Hi Eastsiders! Please mark your calendars for Monday, 11 May 2026 from 7-9 PM for a special East CAC meeting. The meeting will take place at Lions Park Community Center, 516 Dennis Avenue, Raleigh.

There has been ongoing incidents of petty crime perpetrated by youths. Neighbors are frustrated and are looking for more effective approaches to addressing this crime.

I have organized a special East CAC meeting to hear from RPD officers in the Community Impact and Engagement Division and/or the ACORNS and Community Unit, Raleigh Boys and Girls Club, and members of Wake County’s Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC) regarding better ways we can help curb this activity. Raleigh City Council Member Corey Branch will be in attendance and other city officials may attend.

My hope is that we all leave with some approaches which will benefit everyone involved.

Please pass this on to other interested parties. I look forward to seeing you on the 11th.

Regards,

Mark Turner

East CAC acting chair
