Here's what you can do.
Turn what you observe into a grounded question and bring it to the people and groups that shape neighborhood policing conversations.
Attend a District Policing Committee meeting
Cleveland has one District Policing Committee (DPC) for each police district. Meetings are open to community members and are a place to speak with district command and officers about local concerns and policing practices.
Review the DPC meeting information and confirm current details in the CLECPC events calendar.
Talk with block clubs or neighborhood organizations
Bring the same observations and question to block clubs or neighborhood organizations. These groups can help residents compare experiences, identify common concerns, and decide whether to raise a topic together at a DPC meeting or another public forum.
Not sure who serves your neighborhood? Use Cleveland Neighborhood Progress's directory of local community development organizations as a starting point.
Contact your council member
You can also let your council member know how helicopter activity affects your neighborhood and ask what public information or follow-up may be available.
Find your ward and council member at clevelandcitycouncil.gov (click "Find My Ward").
An independent civic project
The creator is the elected secretary of Cleveland's Second District Policing Committee. This site is independent and not an official DPC/City/CDP project. It presents public flight data for community discussion; it does not determine why a flight occurred.
