1August98. The "QAP" Orange Hats, purchased by the Queen Anne Chamber of Commerce, were issued to registered members of QAP on Saturday, the 1st of August '98. The initial Patrol wearing the new hats was covered by a channel 13 News Crew, and aired that evening. Members of "PSST" joined the "QAP" group for the Saturday Patrol.
18August98. QAP hosts a forum bringing housed and non-housed members of the community together to discuss mitigation of the street presence of disruptive or anti-social elements. Advocate and assitance organizations such as the Queen Anne Helpline, SHARE, and the Aloha Inn are among those in attendance. Terrie Johnston, the Seattle Police Department West Precinct Crime Prevention Officer gave an update on reportable crimes in the QAP area. As part of the regular community awareness program QAP also presented a short film on Graffitti and the response of Vancouver B.C. and Los Angeles to the phenomenon. The Graffitti discussion dove-tailed the mitigation of anti-social behaviors forum and the ground-work layed by the attending organizations in defining "Public Space-Public Behavior."
21August98. Members of QAP and the President of the Queen Anne Chamber of Commerce attend a ceremony in Pioneer Square in which, Nextel, a major Communications/Cellular Phone Company presents PSST with phones and airtime for the PSST patrols.QAP is on a waiting list for similar equipment.
26August98. Seattle Chief of Police Norm Stamper walked with QAP throughout the commercial area of Uptown Queen Anne. Terrie Johnston, Crime Prevention Coordinater for West Precinct, the president of the QA Chamber of Commerce, Ray Bowman, Brenda Peters Washington State Liquor Enforcement Officer, as well as members of the Pioneer Square PSST Patrol also walked with QAP.
Wonder why you aren't reading a lot of QAP members names in this log? Because the QAP people aren't out there to get 15 minutes of fame. They are there to build a better community. Also, for security reasons, as in blockwatch programs across the nation, First Names only are used on patrol. That's one thing we have in common with the "bad" guys, we know who we are and so do the Police.
