COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - The Muscogee County sheriff Columbus chief of police announced Tuesday they intend to start not only increasing patrol in troubled hotspots populated with crime, but also incorporate community policing.
Residents say more needs to be done.
“Crime prevention is a community problem, but the community infrastructure has not been invested in,” Dr. Jihad Aleem Hud.
Some people in the community are speaking out about what’s really being done in Muscogee County on the heels of 12 homicides in the last 46 days.
