Homeless/Panhandlers History
At Brice Rd. & I-70:
- 10/9/08: Routine individuals claiming to be homeless have been cited for panhandling and CPD continues to watch them. If you find that an individual is panhandling in a particular area, please do not call the CPD dispatch, but rather contact Officer Poole or myself directly so that the issue can be looked into with more depth.
- Previous: Some of the individuals who have been witnessed standing on the on & exit ramps of I-70 at Brice, were found to be living in either the boarded up Chi-Chi's or the Bob Evans. Police have taken the appropriate measure to ensure that the property was secured and that any individual(s) who were not supposed to be in the vacant building were removed.
- Although individuals have been seen with signs reading "will work for food", there have been instances where food has been given to them only for it to be thrown on the ground after the person drives away. The best thing that you can do is if you run across someone who is claiming to be homeless, please let myself or Officer Poole know so that individual can be redirected to the nearest shelter. There is no reason that any homeless person should be standing on any corner. There are plenty of resources in the city of Columbus for them to receive the care and food that they need.
- I have many copies of the areas Homeless Shelter Guide if anyone should like a copy.
