Colin McEnroe: Increasing The Police Beat In New Haven
New Haven's Chief Limon explains the increased street/bike police presence.
I sometimes worry that our show is too Hartford-centric, so I'm thrilled that everything we're talking about today happens south of Middletown.
First we're talking to New Haven's police chief about a return to good old-fashioned foot and bike patrols, back almost literally by popular demand. Police Chief Frank Limon says walking the beat is a good way for officers to connect directly with city reisdents. He hopes increased patrols will help reduce crime.
Then it's west to Fairfield and Bridgeport where, contrary to what you've been told, the first flying machine may have flown.
Last comes The Sack, our mailbag and grab-bag feature.
We'll read a few recent emails and tell you briefly about a light and projection festival coming to New Haven.

This measure will surely
This measure will surely bring a positive impact upon the law disobeying rates, by diminishing it. You see, so many people get discontent over receiving a NYC traffic ticket and they go to a lawyer to support their cause in front of the judge. Sometimes they are right, sometimes they`re not. The important fact is that these regulatory reinforcements will allow us live in safer communities.
police
I understand that police officers that walk and patrol is a positive things, but keep in mind that walking instead of patrolling in a car has some disadvantages. Think about it: a police car has a built-in computer which can run criminal background check in real time.
