Description
The people in my neighborhood have been dealing with drug encampments since the past January in Tingly Ballpark. There have been cars parked in the Zoo parking lot after the Zoo has closed. The car currently parked is an older Cadillac. There are also 'look out cars' parked in the Ball Park parking lot, sometimes at the south end of the lot and/or someone parked on the north side. We have routinely called 242-cops and know that the Police have to witness the activity in order to have reasonable cause to search. Finding syringes in the Park as well as in our alley has become routine. I did send an email to a person on the Zoo board regarding the Zoo lot being used for drug trafficking. We have repeatedly had to call to get them out of the park at night. They are equipped with signal lights at night as well as steady bike traffic going to and from the group.

There is city security across the street at the zoo. Security can be budgeted to spotlight the city property at night. Also, neighbors and parents can contact Albuquerque Public School school board and APS police to also spotlight the ball fields. The problem can be proactively dealt with before the problem becomes yours. Private security is also an option. Si se puede.
Thanks, Steve
