The effort started Thursday night. It’s not just IMPD and Indiana State Police; a variety of other city and state agencies are doing their part. For example, the fire marshal is looking at overcrowding issues. Also participating: the Indiana Excise Police, and the nuisance abatement unit of Marion County’s Department of Business and Neighborhood Services.
Nearby businesses applaud the effort.
