"I was part of that conversation, and fortunately, we have some great owner-operators down in the West 7th area," Beck said."And I think they are also committed to making sure that they're doing their part to be good partners with the city and make the area as safe as possible.", in 2022, West Division had 2,761 crimes against persons.
