Cleveland Police and the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office are collaborating by adding eight deputies downtown to help CPD’s units already patrolling the area to combat the increase in violence.
“I’ve just been able to get back to work moving around, I still have a bullet in my foot,” said Tevis.
“This took a toll on me, and then not only that, but mentally, I have a lot of social anxiety that I didn’t have before,” said Tevis. “People can come downtown and see that it’s a safe environment, and it also tells people don’t bring nonsense downtown,” said Cuyahoga County Sheriff Harold Pretel.“Personally, I don’t believe that the police was an issue because there was a lot police down there," said Tevis.
Drummond said the plan is to monitor data from the department's crime analysis unit to deter where sheriff's deputies should be patrolling, Drummond added that this partnership will help the department as its own officers, but he believes legislation needs to change.
