Charlotte city councilors considering a request from kerr putney for more Police Officers after the spike in crime. Pamela escobar is live at cmpd headquarters tonight with the recent incidents this week. It may feel like crime is getting worse. Well, paul, i received new numbers from cmpd today. Now, while this week is a violent week compared to this time last year overall assaults with a Deadly Weapon decreased by 6. 2 involving guns. Homicides are down. Chief kerr putney asked council to pay for 125 new officers and 80 staff to deal with the growth in crime. Councilwoman leads the Community Safety committee and said the model has been successful but they need more officers to build relationships in neighborhoods so they can be aware of it and work with the neighbors to find out where its coming from. I think the prospects of them getting some of what they are asking for are good because we have identified this as the most important priority of the council. Having said that the process is to turnover every stone and i know its incredible that we dont have the money to pay for staff which is about 19 million. The budget process has to be complete by june. At that point, the Police Department will know how much money city council has been able to find to dedicate to safety.

You can tell, a lot of neighbors do not want to be included in indian land for them it is not about controlling growth but preserving what is here. We incorporate ourselves because its the only way under South Carolina law we could protect ourselves from being sucked up by them. Leaders say incorporation could bring more taxes and bureaucracy but it is a hot issue. At some point in time, it makes sense that indian land but in my opinion, i think its premature. Van wik is read to submit signatures. Advocates for indian land are halfway done collecting the petitions they need and wonder if two newtowns are on the horizon.
