Resident tells Commission police declined to provide a report, describes confusing follow-up
An unidentified speaker who said they live in Kalamazoo told the Commission they had experienced inconsistent police follow-up on several incidents. The speaker described one case in which significant damage had been done to their car and said an officer on the phone refused to provide a police report unless the resident first supplied an estimate; in another instance, a broken window prompted a fingerprint dusting but officers declined to address other vehicle damage.

The speaker also relayed a tenant's question about what the police could do when a neighbor had not been seen for several days; the liaison officer reportedly said there was "very little they could do," leaving tenants unsure about next steps.

The transcript captures the resident's frustration and examples but does not record a response from police leadership or city staff during the meeting. No formal referral, motion, or staff direction was recorded on the transcript.
