Our police bureau is in crisis. It's way undermanned and is going to stay that way for years. We have a neighborhood watch program and apps like nextdoor let the community communicate about issues pretty freely. http://koin.com/2015/12/15/city-struggles-to-take-action-as-homeless-camps-multiply/ http://koin.com/2015/12/03/rules-hard-to-enforce-at-growing-n-greeley-camp/ These permanent camps are just a tiny part of what's going on. There are ten times as many people camping here and there. You can neighborhood watch as much as you like, without a police force that is able to work on issues instead of running from call to call, housing for people to live in you are pretty much fighting the ocean.
