Alderman La Spata regularly meets with the 12th and 14th police districts to go over each crime in the ward and general trends. During these meetings, he also advocates on behalf of residents, from camera requests and specific questions to calling for sufficient personnel and presence. Among his priorities are a more efficient stationary POD camera process, more mobile POD cameras and license plate readers.
