I have been trying to get something done about prostitution in the area for 12 years .good luck!

There has been no help with this. I have called non emergency several times . There needs to be a sting operation .

I was told not enough money for sting operations anymore

Who told you that? Let's take it to the mayor.

Reopen is acknowledged. This has been sent to SPPD Administration for their review and response. We will post any information we receive on this page.

One of the police officers I called out for prostitution in front of my home. I know they use to have sting operations. I guess not anymore.we do need to from a group and take this problem to the mayor. Maybe with more people involved we can get some help

The problem extends to the market at the corner of Oakdale Ave, near 4th St. One night around 9 as I was driving home a prostitute in an effort to flag me down lunged at my car as I turned onto Oakdale from 4th. I had to veer away to avoid hitting her and narrowly missed a parked car. The situation his hazardous, so now I use a different route to get to my garage.

Has there been any update on this situation? We still have sex workers patrolling our neighborhood and waving down cars.
