June 1 is the deadline for Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Chief Rick Hite to roll out his plan to keep the city safe this summer. But in a spring tune up, police officers have already hit some of Indianapolis’ most troubled neighborhoods, locking up dozens of wanted suspects and felons with guns. “Before you deploy your resources, you have to know what’s out there,” said Hite, as he re-evaluates IMPD’s manpower so he can fulfill a promise to put 100 more cops on the streets. “We have our own way of getting some information…intelligence…as to what’s happening, what’s changed in the last six months to a year. Real time, information is what we’re looking for and we have some people working towards that goal.” As well as utilizing narcotics, gangs and violent crime detectives, IMPD is already partnering with the Department of Corrections to identify parolees returning to Indianapolis neighborhoods from prison and whether those felons are primed to fall back into their former way of life. “What’s happening with those individuals?” Hite is asking. “Do they have a service plan when they come back, re-entry? We’re looking at them in terms of where they’re staying. Are they welcomed back in their community? Have they transgressed to the point where they’re not welcomed back in their home and community? Where will they go back to? Is there unfinished business connected to them? We want to know 30 to 90 days out where they are in that whole process.” Read More. |
