Housing and Development Newsletter Interim Police Chief Bernard Melekian spoke to the City Council on Tuesday, calling for the city to focus on intervention and prevention rather than arrests and enforcement.  Melekian outlined a three-pronged strategy of prevention, intervention and enforcement. He talked about the importance of partnering with the community to provide after-school programs and alternatives for young people to do, instead of just hanging out. For the longest time, law enforcement saw its role solely as to solve the crime and arrest the perpetrator, Melekian said. But it is very clear that this is no longer enough. One of the challenges for all of us is to redefine the notion of safety, Melekian said. The challenge for the police department, and for all of us, is not to make arrests, but to make those arrests unnecessary.
