Downtown Crime

[policyenthusiast]

^ So 650k to have some meetings, have some consultants create some reports, and come up with a plan?

Man, I'm in the wrong business

At this point, we might as well connect a vacuum tube between the City's bank account and Deloitte.

I believe this money is to develop a crime prevention strategy. Not to go to fund EPS general operations.

I know. Just comparing it to the police budget to somewhat mock the “announcement” for such immaterial funding. This feels like the definition of “could have been an email…”

Here's hoping that this 650k leads to some reorg and prioritization around key crime stats or trends that will be challenging and complicated to address given everything.

Likely because the po-po were already there and broke up the fight.

Come downtown, they say! (Just be careful where you look or stand or who you make eye contact with)
