The funding initiative approved by the City Council will facilitate additional patrolling by using outside law enforcement, aiming to cover all areas equally to reduce violence.
Interim Police Chief Brian Addington noted that securing outside law enforcement takes time, but they are actively working to implement solutions quickly through a service agreement.
Mayor Lamar Hernandez-Thorpe emphasized that getting help from outside agencies is urgent to address violence, stressing the need for balanced coverage across different areas.
The City Council's funding of $500,000 aims to bolster response to crime and address staffing shortcomings due to a recent scandal within the police department.
