CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Jerry J. Miller <br />Mayor <br />G. Patrick Gallagher <br />Director, Public Safety <br />Messrs. Peter Nemeth and Roger Parent <br />Common Council, City of South Bend <br />Council Chambers <br />4th Floor, County -City Bldg. <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Dear Messrs. Nemeth and Parent: <br />Reply To: <br />December 11, 1974 <br />At the present time we are requesting $10.,0.00 of revenue sharing money <br />for the continuation of the Overtime Foot Patrol for at least the first <br />six weeks of the new year in order to give Chief Walsh ttie opportunity <br />to align his resources and to make a disposition of h-is personnel in order <br />to continue our effective crime control programs, <br />The Overtime Foot Patrol as you know has been employed in htigh crime areas <br />for the past eighteen months and there is definite evidence that tt has <br />been most effective in a variety of ways. In addition to regular patrol <br />efforts, these police personnel have been employed very efficiently in <br />stake -outs and surveillance. <br />We feel that the Overtime Foot Patrol has contributed mightily to the <br />general decrease in the crime rate and more specifically to the 22% <br />decrease this year in Crimes Against People. Being committed as strongly <br />as you are to the safety of our citizens, I would hope that this program <br />could be continued for this period of time and that further discussion <br />can be held at some time in the future for on -going funding. <br />Both Chief Walsh and I will be happy to meet with you at your convenience <br />to discuss this matter further. <br />Sincerely, <br />�/ <br />G,.
