Sadly no one indicated support for my issue. There isn’t much media attention on my issue. A policy hasn’t written to addressing my issue but there are similar issues that had been address in other cities such as Washington. “Metro Police say they plan to deploy more officers this weekend after a fight among dozens of youth in the transit system led to three arrests.” I want to deploy more officers to prevent these incidents happening in Philadelphia. I think I need to work with an elected official to write a policy for my issue.
The essential members that can contribute to my issue would be the police department and the mayor of Philadelphia, Michael Nutter.
There was a report citing several studies making the case for more uniformed officers in the city of Philadelphia released by ACLU deputy director Jennifer Shaw. “Using 250 officers and targeting 60 violent crime locations, the Philadelphia Foot Patrol Experiment prevented 50 violent crimes during the summer of 2009.” I could use this report as a helper to present my issue to the right hands in my favor to show that my issue has a realistic solution.
