Police Chief Wayne Drummond has said that the shrinking police force isn’t to blame for the rising crime. The Councilmen who chairs City Council’s Safety Committee said “He’s full of s --t.”
Polensek, who chairs City Council’s Safety Committee, doesn’t buy that explanation.“Anyone thinking there’s no correlation between police visibility and rising crime is living in dreamland,” he added.
Drummond has acknowledged, however, that the depressed ranks can sometimes prevent officers from being proactive. Earlier this month, after he learned of what he called a Ward 8 “gun battle” between rival gangs driving stolen cars that resulted in a homicide in broad daylight, Polensekannounced In the past two weeks, police have reported nearby shootings that have wounded at least six people, including three juveniles. On July 15, police said that officers were shot at near the corner of Ivanhoe Road and Mandalay Avenue.
After he was struck, “[I] just drove back towards my house, I didn’t call 911 or go to the hospital,” he said. Police later observed several bullet holes in his car.
