I heard last night that the recent increase in drig trafficking and prostitution (especially during the daytime) near Bloomington Avenue and Lake Street is a result of losing two beat officers for that location who will not be replaced. Although you might be flagged down in your car by dealers at any time of the day, I hear these beat cops will not be replaced because the intersection has not received enough 911 calls.
Earlier this week I heard that the entire Community Crime Prevention/SAFE program is in jeopardy as well. I knew the program lost some middle management positions, and I knew that the block club grant program would not be funded this year, but now I hear that CCP/SAFE itself was going away. Are these just paranoid rumors, or is the Phillips Containment Zone open for business again?
