I hope the police are considering stepping up patrols. This is getting out of hand. First home burglaries, now strong armed robberies in our businesses.
I agree, I rarely see a police vehicle patrolling through our neighborhood. Does the SMPD have a plan?
I drive to work every day around this time (3am) and I often see SMPD on patrol. Nonetheless our community seems to have become an easy target. We can help. Eyes and ears people!
