No security at CAPS Beat 2422 meeting

Read the sign, shown here (click it to see a larger image).

I saw this as I entered the Gateway Senior Apartments at 7450 N. Rogers. CAPS Beat 2422 was meeting at 7:00 p.m. this evening.

The sign says that visitors must sign in. But the management office, just inside the front door, was vacant. A sign on their door said that someone would return at 9:00, but did not specify a.m. or p.m. This meant that I could not sign in, and that for at least two hours - maybe 14? - nobody was watching the comings and goings of total strangers through the front door.

Meanwhile, nine CPD officers sat in on the CAPS meeting there. Eleven neighbors and police discussed ways to make the neighborhood safer. Nobody mentioned the complete lack of security in the very building in which they were meeting.
