If you have questions and concerns about Uptown's policing, go ask the Police Superintendent this evening.
I'm telling you right now, don't trust these people. This is all about sending coppers out south and west not about saving money. At first they will transfer all of 019 into 023. But I guarantee you a year from now you will have less Police Officers covering the same area than you do now. Think about it. No one is being laid off or fired. The building that houses 019is remaining open. The building that houses Areas 4 and 5 will remain open.The funds used to maintain these buildings all come from the General Fund, not the Police Department budget. So tell me where the savings are. This is all a backdoor way of redistricting. They want YOUR coppers out south and west. Thats their way of saying thank you for taking an interest in your community, your Police Department and your hard work making things better in your neighborhood. Don't fall for this. I'm warning you. Believe me, if I lived in your neck of the woods I'd be fighting this with all I've got.
