The unhoused encampment behind the IMI concrete plant on private property has continued to get out of control. This has been cleared out already and has now grown to the largest size to date. We have seen 50+ people on a daily basis back and forth. More and more of the unhoused have been cutting through private property on Cherokee Drive, leaving trash in yards, starting fights in the area, and continuing to scope out an abandoned house at the end of Cherokee to which the cops have been called out to at least twice. There is a brand new subdivision being built at the end of Cherokee and the area is finally being built up along with the addition of Switchyard Park. Bloomington has numerous services for the unhoused but camping on private property and causing issues to nearby neighborhoods should not be tolerated. The fear in the area is that this is becoming more and more unsafe as this encampment continues to grow in size. Please address this increasingly dangerous situation as soon as possible.

Office Richmond (I believe was how he introduced himself) was called for wellness check in citizen in need. When approached he approached with hostility towards the people helping provide warm clothes to the woman. He attempted to “help” and the woman asked for him not to touch her and then abandoned the warm layers due to the officers advances and presence. Then instead of actually helping he turned his questioning and subsequently aggression towards me. He spoke loudly and condescending towards me and then abandoned helping the woman. It would be okay if police weren’t so fragile that instead being of assistance they become a safety issues for others. Please when people call for help or wellness send EMTs be police officers since their egos and aggression cannot be in check. Invest in actual training in social workers and healthcare workers not men and women with power complexes and the affinity for harming the most vulnerable in our community.

What is wrong with the police or resource officers or who ever is suppose to respond to noise complaints??? If you have had 5 plus callers for the same address and then proceed to tell me someone MAY come out its low on our priority list. So the safety and well being of your community is definitely not number one on your list I see. Why have an ordnance if you aren't going to in force it?!

Followup to case# 181838 (I believe there is a problem with distracted driving in Bloomington despite there being a state law about hands-free driving for a few years now. Please inform me what BPD is doing to directly address this danger to the public safety of this city. Thank you. Marnina Patrick) I took Captain Pedigo up on the suggestion to contact the ISP and am now sharing the replies I go: "Thank you for taking the time to send us a note of concern for drivers utilizing celllular devices while driving. We have listed the statue below for your review and will forward you concern to the commander of the bloomington district. If you see a violation, please don’t hesitate to report the driver to your local police/sheriff's office or the closest ISP post." "The bloomington police department is still responsible for traffic infractions even if they have staff shortages. Police departments throughout the nation are experiencing staffing shortages however still continue to serve the public."
