Mayor: More Police Needed For Hamilton Street

June 23, 2015 Township Council

Mayor Chris Kelly
Mayor Chris Kelly said the Township Council needs to “revisit” the issue of hiring four police officers for the Hamilton Street business district.

The Township Council needs to “revisit” its decision to not fund four new police officers for the Hamilton Street business area, Mayor Chris Kelly said at the June 23 meeting.

Kelly made the comment after Pat Gianotto, chairman of the Hamilton Street Advisory Board, told the council that more needs to be done to make the area safer, especially in light of the June 9 shooting that sent a 19-year-old man to a local hospital.
