“The last time we came in the area there were a few complaints about the police presence so since then, we have put in place additional mobile motorcycle patrols in the area to be able to address the concerns of people in the area. Now that we are back, we are hearing from the people that they are now satisfied with the police presence in the area and we hope that we can continue our presence in this area to keep it as calm as possible or even better. One of the compliments that we have gotten is that the crime rate is extremely low. So we want to do our best to keep it that way. We have done a lot of work in the Jane Usher Boulevard area as well and all these works are being done in an effort to be able to address the crime situation, making the public feel more safe in their homes as well as to try and reach out to some of those persons who have been giving trouble and we believe that they want to make that change.”
