Police Chief Gary Gemme says that the public safety situation under the current model is working, especially in relation to violent crime.
“We would like to have, going forward, a stable traffic division.” He says that since so many resources go to accident reconstruction, actual violation enforcement is limited.
He’s also saying there’s a need for foot patrols. “The single most effective way to reduce fear…is foot patrols.”
