GARFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio — Ohio Governor Mike DeWine spent part of Tuesday at the Garfield Heights Police Department. Last year, the police department got $1.3 million dollars in funding for initiatives to crack down on crime. The governor was at the department to be briefed on how the money was spent and if the plan was working. Police statistics show crime is down more than 33% since last August.
“I think it works particularly when they utilize the analytics to figure out where the pinpoint, and where they target,” said DeWine. “They found the victims, they spoke to the victims, they know the bad guys in the neighborhood, and they knew one street over, we might have some likely bad guys. They’re able to be freed up to do the work of the investigation. So, yes, they played a big role in it and why we had three suspects in custody by the end of the night,” said Kaye.
