“Dear PoPville,
Since July 4th I have seen five patrol cars from the DFHV (Department of For-Hire Vehicles) out patrolling H Street, Union Station, and Navy Yard. I have never noticed cars from this agency before and they stood out from the usual mix of random agency patrol cars. The cars also look to be newer. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I encountered a peeping tom masturbating outside the window of my ground floor unit last night.
I live on the hill near union station and H street and saw a peeping tom masturbating outside of my ground floor bedroom window last night at 11:45. He saw me notice him and made eye contact and some obscene gestures before running away when I picked up the phone to call the police. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Pretty sure I ran into the NOMA flasher this morning at 2nd and M NE at about 7:25am.
Was heading to the Metro with my son in his stroller, when a husky black man (maybe in his 30’s, ~5′-10, mustache, wearing brown khakis, pink zip up hoodie, and a black drawstring backpack) suddenly pulled a stocking cap down over his face. I thought he was just adjusting the cap until I realized it was more of a balaclava with a big cut out for his eyes. (more…)
