Report from Tuesday’s Commander’s Forum
Just wanted to touch on the most important aspects from Tuesday's Commander's Forum:
There were about 15 residents who braved the cold, and nearly 20 APD employees in attendance. Five of us were from Allandale, so that was a good showing. The information APD most wanted us to learn about was the reorganization.
APD used to be divided into 3 areas, and this January they switched to a 4 Regions system, hopefully to better serve Austin.
Allandale is in Region 1, which is served by 190 patrol officers. Within Region 1 there are 3 Sectors (Downtown/George, Baker and IDA), and Allandale is split between Baker 3 and IDA 4. The Region 1 Support Commander is John Romoser and Patrol Commander is Marcy Gonzales, so our commanders haven't changed. Lt. Srg. Troy Officer oversees the DRs and detectives as well.
South of 2222 is Baker 3, served by District Representative (DR) Officer Rolando Gutierrez, Rolando.gutierrez@ci.austin.tx.us, 974-5998
North of 2222 is IDA 4, served by DR Officer Gary Griffin, Gary.griffin@ci.austin.tx.us, 974-8392
