At the July, 2010 Neighborhood Meeting, District Resource Officer Jeff Artman brought a report indicating the following crimes in the Irish Hill Neighborhood area:
- 1 Assault
- 3 Criminal Mischief
- 7 Theft
- 1 Robbery
- 3 Burglary
One of the crimes had happened on the day of the Neighborhood Meeting, but had already ended with a great outcome: “Arrest made – neighbor called police.”
It is important in any neighborhood, including Irish Hill, that we report suspicious activity. If you see anything that doesn’t seem right, call the police. Let the police determine if it’s a good thing or a bad thing happening. you know what “normal” is for your street. If it isn’t normal – call the police.
In addition, Officer Artman and Irish Hill resident Chandler Bainter reiterated the importance on reporting crimes that happen. If something is stolen from your house — big or small — report it. If you are approached by a criminal, report it. With reports come statistics. With statistics come extra patrols.
Soon after the Neighborhood Meeting, a car windshield was broken and a recycle bin was set on fire in one of our alley’s. These incidents have been reported. Keep a diligent eye.

Good news neighbors –
Crime is down in the Irish Hill Neighborhood. Recently, we asked District Resource Officer, Jeff Artman, to provide us with the stats for our part of District Four. Here’s what he had to say:
There were 9 thefts from vehicles in Irish Hill in the last month. The majority from around Jim Porters and Lexington Rd. There were no Burglaries, serious Assaults or Robberies reported in the last month in Irish Hill.
With that said, however, let us not get lack in keeping our eyes open for suspicious activity. If you see anything suspicious, please call Metro Police at 502.574.7111 (non-emergency) or 911 (emergency only).
