Minneapolis Crime Meeting
July 12, 2005

Violent crime is on the rise in Minneapolis. The police held a public meeting in Northeast Minneapolis to address the concerns of Third Ward residents. Chief among them, Mayor Rybak and Police Chief McManus' STOP program which pulls officer hours from neighborhoods and applies them to crime "hot spots" such as North Minneapolis. The consensus from citizens was that more cops are needed in our neighborhoods, not less. All sides agreed there aren't enough resources, with several people blaming Governor Pawlenty for the shortfalls in Local Government Aid (LGA).
