The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency is heading a new task force aimed at confronting and reducing violent crime in the Montgomery area.
The Metro Area Crime Suppression Team, known as MACS, is made up of law enforcement officers from ALEA, the Alabama Attorney General’s Office, the Montgomery Police Department, the Montgomery Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
“Their combine efforts have made significant strides in reducing crime,’’ Graboys said, “and ensuring that our streets are safer for all residents.”“This message is for people who think they can disrupt our way of living, disrupt our business community, disrupt these families in these neighborhoods and communities,’’ Cunningham said. “The message is, ‘If we didn’t get you this time, we’re going to get you next time.
“They know somebody is coming behind them,’’ Taylor said. “Other agencies are in the city, in the neighborhood while the chief is trying to get his numbers back up.”
