It is great news that the murder rate is decreasing in our fair city. It shows that the corruption is slowly being weeded out of the jails, the courts and public housing, much thanks to everyone committed to rooting out corruption.

It does show how community policing can make a diffence; however the numbers are still far to high. . . . programs are needed to get our youth turned around bring an end to the unnecessary violence and hatred that is permeating the neighborhoods and especially the young people. . .

Blessings and hope everyone have a wonderful New Year!

This shows how community policing is making a difference. The police encourage neighborhood involvement and our involvement is producing results. Never hestiate to contact the police if you have a problem, they want you to call.
