DISPUTES THROUGH MEDIATION

DC SUPERIOR COURT’S MULTI-DOOR RESOLUTION DIVISION
HELPS PARTIES RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH MEDIATION
The Metropolitan Police Department often receives calls for service in response to
disputes between neighbors. DC Superior Court’s developed the Multi-Door Resolution
Division to assist in cases that are outside the realm of MPD. This is NOT meant to replace our responsibilities to investigate alleged criminal allegation. It’s just another tool that we can utilize. Below is a brief description off their website along with a link to their website.

The Multi-Door Dispute Resolution Division (Multi-Door) helps parties settle disputes
through mediation and other types of appropriate dispute resolution (ADR), including
arbitration, case evaluation and conciliation. The name “Multi-Door” comes from the multidoor courthouse concept, which envisions one courthouse with multiple dispute resolution doors or programs. Cases are referred through the appropriate door for resolution. The goals of a multi-door approach are to provide citizens with easy access to justice, reduce delay, and provide links to related services, making more options available through which disputes can be resolved. The Multi-Door Dispute Resolution Division of the D.C. Superior Court assists parties to reach agreements that meet their interests, preserve relationships, and save time and money. Our mediators and dispute resolution specialists are trained at Multi-Door to serve in a wide range of cases, from civil to small claims, to family.

SECURE PROPERTY IN YOUR CAR TO REDUCE THEFTS FROM AUTO

SECURE PROPERTY IN YOUR CAR TO REDUCE THEFTS FROM AUTO
One of the most common types of theft is theft of valuables from your automobile. Theft from auto is strictly a crime of opportunity that can be prevented if you take away the opportunity.
Thieves generally won’t waste their time breaking into autos that don’t have valuables in plain sight.
Recently, the Metropolitan Police Department has recorded an increase in thefts from autos, particularly in areas across DC known for their fashionable stores, popular restaurants and trendy bars. Cars parked near sporting venues when games or concerts are scheduled may also be targeted. If you plan on parking your car in a neighborhood that is known for its numerous visitors, remember thieves know these areas are popular, too. Be sure to either take valuable property with you or secure it properly. Please take the precautions listed below to help ensure your auto is not targeted by thieves:
• Keep Your Valuables Out of Sight. The best way to prevent theft from your auto is to always keep
valuables out of sight. Never leave cell phones, briefcases, suitcases, or electronic devices
(cell phones, iPods, laptop computers, etc.) in your car in plain view. Take these items with
you, or secure them—all the time, every time.
• Secure Your GPS Device. While many GPS devices are mounted in the dashboard of the vehicle,
the MPD encourages anyone who uses a portable GPS device to take it with you, along
with any other items of value, when you park the car.
• Use Your Trunk. If your car has a trunk, use it. Put valuables in there or in a locked glove compartment. Hiding items under seats is better than leaving them in plain view, but securing them inside the glove compartment or trunk is a far better deterrent.
• Don’t Tempt Thieves with New Purchases. During the holiday season especially, or any time you’re shopping, place packages in the trunk, not on the passenger seats or floors.
• Remove Your Radio Faceplate. If you can unfasten your sound system and take it with you, or lock it in your trunk, do so. And don’t forget to do the same with your CDs and tapes.
• Lock It Up. Also, keep your car doors and windows locked—all the time!
