The Downtown units have meet with them each evening and biked
along beside them as they march thru town. They are very good about
cross walks and obey all the laws that govern their march. After each
march they have come to us and asked if they did anything wrong and seem
eager to not cause any issues for law enforcement. So far, they have
been very open and friendly to our presence.

No arrests have been made and the issue we’ve had early on was
camping in public space such as sidewalks(impeding them) and other
public spaces such as the parks. We met with them and came to an
agreement that they could use private lots with owner permission. They’
ve been quite agreeable and peaceful. Might wish to make sure Command
Staff is okay with this release, however.

Hello Lt. Welch,

I just wanted to check in and see if the Asheville
Police Department had any troubles so far with the Occupy Asheville
protesters, what interactions the APD has had with their organizers, or
if any arrests related to the demonstrations have been made.

Thanks,
