Guest Speaker
Police
Chief Ronald Haddad presented a number of facts and
statistics in regards to crime in the
community. The
Dearborn police have made considerable efforts (including
grants, etc) to reduce the
numbers of committed crimes in
all neighborhoods. The results have shown an overall
decrease with
several crime stats and continued attention
will hopefully see those reductions climb in the future.
Questions of concern –focus on Fairlane Town Center and
bordering communities impact on crime in
the city and
transparency in the news releases. Members thanked the
Chief and Dearborn police for
their dedication and hard
work.
VI.
