Mayor Justin Bibb is requiring uniformed police officers to park their patrol cars and walk through neighborhoods to talk with residents for an hour each shift.
CLEVELAND, Ohio –
The push addresses one of Bibb’s campaign promises to “get officers from behind the desks” and on the streets to meet residents. It also comes at a time when gun violence in the city continues to increase, especially among youths. Bibb is implementing the plan amid a shortage in the ranks of the department, as resignations and retirements dropped the number of officers to below 1,400. The department seeks to have 1,600.“It’s just building relationships,” Drummond said. “And it’s important for people to see us outside of enforcement. But we’re not taking away from the response when someone calls 911.
“For example, if the First District was really busy on first shift, but there is a mandate that we have a park-and-walk. That mandate can go to our community services unit.”
