Yesterday was a good day for the North-East side.
Mayor Schmitt, Alderman Dan Piton, Police Chief Jim Arts, and neighborhood association presidents joined to announce the third community policing center in Green Bay. This center is located at 807 N. Irwin Avenue in the Olde North Neighborhood. It is expected to be ready for operations in May of 2010. The Mayor also announced a 3.65% drop in violent crimes from August to August and during that same timeframe a drop in property crime of 7.26%. The Mayor sited the importance of neighborhoods in keeping the city safe.
It'll be great to have officers walking the neighborhood next summer. We need to maintain the progress toward safe and healthy neighborhoods made over these last few years and keep improving.
