For this reason there is a need for more resources that can be used to help 911 callers in assisting the public. One way is to assign civilian to answer calls that do not involve police assist like mental…[Read more]

Also if the police work together with the community in what calls should be forwarded to police and which calls civilians should respond to it would better for the everyone.

The article also notes that these issues would be better resolved with community based treatment or other resources besides the police. For Example, trained civilians can become community responders…[Read more]

I also believe that a good teaching starts at home. Many parents are so busy working they neglect their children. So its helpful when the government and step in and give financial assistance. Many people believe its a handout but its really for the betterment…[Read more]

Before police departments where formed in the early 1800’s there was always a thing called “Community Policing”. Although it may not have been called this at the time, people in the community “policed” one another. There was no such thing as a police officer.…[Read more]

As the report explained, there are many ways in reducing or curbing violence without police intervention. A few examples are 1) setting up programs which target individual and community needs 2) Creating a more serene environment by having more green space, ample lighting, and improving buildings and housing 3) Creating a clean and healthy…[Read more]

I believe and it has been proven that the city does what it wants and does not take the needs of the people into consideration. There should be a fight from the people of Soho for the city to extinguish the plan to build commercial buildings but they should include more affordable housing in that request as well.

However, the people in Soho also believe that the city wants to build more buildings which will bring businesses to the area changing the areas character. This may be true and I believe they should fight against it, but also the number of…[Read more]

However, by doing this, usually the efforts of the city or local government, many people are displaced from their homes and long time businesses, and historical buildings are destroyed. The situation in Soho and Noho is paralleled to Robert Moses tearing down…[Read more]
