Indy Mayor Hogsett’s Violence Prevention Plan Goes to Full City-County Council with “Do-Pass” Recommendation
INDIANAPOLIS–Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett’s violence prevention funding plan was sent to the full City-County Council Wednesday night with a “do-pass” recommendation from the Public Safety and Criminal Justice Committee.
“It is abundantly clear that we have a violence problem in our city,” said IMPD Assistant Police Chief Chris Bailey.
“We must confront our localized issues with local solutions.”
Hogsett and other city leaders said the $3.3 million investment will assist with reducing violent crimes, response times, advance data systems, and help them get more engaged with the community, among other things.
