Once, Minnesota's gang strike force was highly touted, but recently, Minneapolis representation has dwindled from eight officers to two in 2002, this morning's Star Tribune reports. After some high-profile murders, Chief Robert Olson plans to up the city contingent to 6-12.
Did Olson make a mistake by cutting the deployments? What's the reason for the yo-yo assignments? Are budget problems one factor? And is the gang strike force really effective? Inquiring minds are curious. http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/3526973.html David Brauer King Field _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
