The Soulard Special Business District (SSBD) is planning a neighborhood safety and security forum on Monday, Nov 9, 2026 at 6:30pm. The forum will take place in-person at South Broadway Athletic Club (2301 S 7th St.)
As part of our community outreach effort, the SSBD conducts security forums in order to update residents of the District about activities (past and future), budgets, tax rate changes, crime statistics and other news and special programs in which the District is involved.
Guest speakers include law enforcement, city leaders, and board commissioners. Forums also serve as a helpful tool for residents to gain knowledge on steps they can take to prevent crime.
