Undersheriff
Frank Mackesy explained that this funding will be used as a similar
appropriation was used in 2006 – for overtime to saturate high crime areas
identified by the JSO’s research and analysis unit with extra officers when
and where needed to attack the worst crime problems. In 2006 the JSO made 33,000 positive
contacts with citizens, found out what the problems were and where, and
effected a 38% reduction in the murder rate in the second half of that
year. The JSO could theoretically
expend the funds at a rate of $1 million per month, but expects to be able to
stretch it over 5 or 6 months. The
committee discussed the need for sustainability of these intensified efforts,
and Undersheriff Mackesy pointed out that the recent Matrix study shows that
a substantial number of additional officers is needed
to deal with the City’s growing population. EMERGENCY approved to appropriate the funds
and attack the crime problem as rapidly as possible. RECOMMEND APPROVAL AS AN EMERGENCY 6-0 |
