But with the situation you mentioned about adults taking a big role in solving some violence that doesn’t require the police, I don’t see that happening anytime soon…[Read more]

And not everything has to report to 911 such as needing a shelter, or complaints about loud noise in the neighborhoods or ask for direction or vandalism, etc. Most of these reports cause a waste of time and resources of the police department.

Call-takers are sometimes vulnerable to…[Read more]

We also need police intervention to enforce the law and make sure people are following them. I feel like if we can’t easily reduce violence outside with police…[Read more]
