Cleveland City Council Safety Committee set to meet Wednesday morning
Cleveland Police Administration is expected to be at the meeting to present its plan to stop the violence for the rest of the summer.
“We’re talking about microgrids which is a very small area in our hot spots, so we’ll focus on individuals who are violent individuals or trigger pullers as we call them, and they’re the drivers of violence in our community,” said Cleveland Police Chief Wayne Drummond. While crime is climbing, the number of Cleveland police officers has dropped to 1932 staffing levels. The Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department has committed to sending manpower to downtown Cleveland. The Ohio State Highway Patrol has been on the streets of Cleveland since the spring helping with traffic enforcement.
OSHP was called to help in Cleveland twice in 2022. In April of 2022, a three-day initiative resulted in 46 illegal firearms being seized, the recovery of four stolen vehicles and 13 felony drug cases initiated.
