Miracle Mile Crime Watch Update
from Kari Garcia and Kelly Perkins, MMRA Safety Committee
Senior Lead Officer Perry Jones, Kelly Perkins, and Kari Garcia.
More Block Captains Added to Roster
Thanks to all who joined us at the recent MMRA neighborhood safety meeting on October 16 at the Westside Jewish Community Center. It’s great to see so many motivated to keep our beautiful neighborhood safe. Since the meeting we’ve continued to see burglaries, robberies and other crimes occur in our area. Below you will find resources on securing your property, understanding a neighborhood watch program, and more. As always, please continue to reach out to us with any questions and stay tuned for more updates!
What we need from you:
Volunteer to be a block captain!
Organizing your block is the first step in securing your street. Should suspicious behavior arise, you’ll be able to more quickly detect, deter and report crime by having contact information of those nearby.
The commitment is minimal. We are asking you to simply pass out a contact form to your neighbors. You’ll collect the information you receive and start an email/text thread that can be used for quick communication as needed. Some blocks that are organizing are also choosing to meet regularly, hold block parties, etc. – it’s a great way to meet your neighbors!
We have 14 of 51 block captains needed. Take a look at the spreadsheet below to see if your block is represented and consider helping out! Please contact Kari Garcia or Kelly Perkins if you are interested:
PRIVATE PATROL: Many Miracle Mile residents are signing up for private patrol services; police agree that these services help deter and reduce crime quickly. Should you have a concern about suspicious behavior or in-progress crime, you can call your private patrol service and they will respond within minutes. Our goal is to have enough households signed up to achieve 24/7 patrol in Miracle Mile. Private patrol services also offer escort service to and from your vehicle and vacation watches for a very affordable monthly cost. If you are interested in learning more, please contact:

MMRA Membership Meeting with Councilmember David Ryu
[Click on image to view video]
To enhance direct communication between our members and the Board of Directors, the MMRA held its first membership-only meeting on Saturday, November 4, 2017 at the Korean Cultural Center.
The meeting featured an update from Kari Garcia and Kelly Perkins on the Miracle Mile Neighborhood Watch and a conversation with Councilmember David Ryu and Senior Lead Officer Perry Jones, LAPD Wilshire Division. A number of topics were discussed, including crime and traffic safety.
The MMRA recently revised its bylaws. As part of this process we shifted our membership period and the term of elected directors to the calendar year (January through December). We will end each year with a membership-only meeting and begin the year with our traditional community meeting that will be open to all.
MMRA Election Results
The election of MMRA directors concluded on Oct. 31, 2017 and the results were announced at the Membership Meeting on Nov. 4, 2017. The MMRA is governed by its Board of Directors who serve a one-year term commencing on Jan. 1, 2018. At its next board meeting the board will elect officers.
