Update on CPD Redistricting

Good evening, NECKO - Please see the important update on the Columbus Police Redistricting below from Area Commissioner Susan Keeny.

Subject: Update on CPD Redistricting

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to let you know that the Columbus Police Department will be implementing their redistricting plan this Sunday.  This will impact the University District in that Precinct 3 will now extend south from Clintonville to Lane Ave and 4 Precinct will shift from Arcadia south and now start at Lane Ave and extend south into the Short North area just south of 5th Ave (to I believe 3rd Ave).  1st Precinct that has served the Short North south will now be served by 16 Precinct south of 3rd Ave.

For simplicity sake it is safe to say that Olde North Columbus is now served by Precinct 3, and the rest of the University District is served by Precinct 4.  Please share this new information with your fellow neighbhors, business owners and area stakeholders.  And as always continue to ask them to support our police officers and thank them for keeping our community safe.

Here is a link to the Dispatch article that has the proposed precincts
