Posted on Thu, Aug. 12, 2004 Police beef up North Side patrols with helicopter Chief McManus calls for help as homicides rise BY LISA DONOVAN Pioneer Press A spike in the homicides on the North Side of Minneapolis has police calling in the State Patrol's helicopter to hover over the hot spot. Chief William McManus asked the State Patrol for help Wednesday, and officials agreed to help as the city beefs up its watch in the area, where the number of homicides has doubled over the last year.
