There is a clear increase in violent crime without any sign of changing the way our police targets this issue. We tried to make revisions to get this under control by re-structuring police leadership – we were then stripped of all authority over the police department.

August 26, 2025, let’s get back to working to reverse this trend – accountability should be up and crime should be down. Re-elect Mayor Wayman Newton to keep up the fight.
