Community Policing Credited With Helping to Reduce Crime

Community Policing is taking a bite out of crime. That word delivered to the Police Commission by Staff Sergeant Jim Fleming who concedes police can't do it alone.

He points to a spree in the south end when vehicles were being broken into.

Fleming says police were also alerted to someone attempting to lure children over the internet on the west side through tips that were texted to them and a partnership with bar owners has gone a long way to stemming the anti-social behaviour that was happening in parts of the uptown after closing hours.
