To all who are interested in the Somerville Police Department (SPD) budget:
Below is a memo I have sent to the City Council, the Mayor, the Chief of Police and the Administration describing proposed cuts to the Personal Services line item of $2,101,500 that I am suggesting in the SPD budget.
I have also attached some charts and tables, put together by community volunteer researchers, with data about crime stats and SPD staffing over the past 20-30 years.
Thank you if you are interested and concerned about this issue,
Mark Niedergang
