Good update on the issues facing the Jordan Neighborhood! I, too, would like to see more African American and Asian- American officers on the police force. Last night, I was with V.J. Smith, President of MADDADS (http://www.maddadsnational.com) in South Mpls on 20th and Park Avenue because of a recent killing near the Peavey Park. It was nice to see two uniformed officers on horseback, instead of policing inside their cars. I feel more officers on horseback and on police bikes in the toughest neighborhoods in the City of Minneapolis make officers more visible as well as easier access to partol a particular area. *************************************************************** Jordan residents find help from city is elusive Steve Brandt, Star Tribune Published August 24, 2003
