Back in 1992, MPNA sponsored the Mount Pleasant neighborhood police facility office. Raised $7,000 and purchased supplies and equipment for the facility, including a computer which connects via modem directly back to the 4th District Police District Station, a fax machine, copier and cellular phone, and conducted computer training for police personnel.
 
·        Maintains ongoing dialogue with the Patrol Service Area (PSA 301) and active participation in 3rd Police District Citizens' Advisory Council.

·        Obtained the only single sales ban on containers of alcohol in the District. Our successful neighborhood effort spurred other neighborhoods’ interest in adopting such a ban and Council member Adrian Fenty to propose legislation to impose the ban on single sales citywide.  Our voluntary agreements are here.
