I called this in after reading the post to the state police because it is safety issue. In the future if it is a safety issue phone the police then post and mention it was called in . The police hardly if ever monitor this sitel. A delay in getting a problem looked into can cost a life,

So

They have been their for years.

This is just one part of a larger settlement; there are camps by the Willow Street entrance and along the Mill River into East Rock Park. Whatever you think of these people, they do need to stay somewhere, and they obviously aren't good at keeping up with rent or staying within the rules of state-sponsored programs. I could wish they were less inclined to throw garbage around, though. Really, what's needed here isn't a simple police raid. It needs to be coordinated with social services, DMHAS, and even the parks department. Is it possible to have a decently self-regulated hobo jungle, if we can't do one better and find housing for these folks?
