Public Safety Task Force

Posted by SOS Fri, 06 Jan 2006 14:54:00 GMT

The Mayor’s Police Task Force Committee has researched and analyzed the SCMPD and in doing so has developed this comprehensive report in an attempt to foster crime reduction in our community.

Please review this Police Crime Report, which highlights police department organization, general observations, and possible problem areas, while offering constructive and insightful recommendations for the prevention and reduction of crime in our Savannah.

To view the Public Safety Task Force report in its entirety, please go to the City of Savannah homepage and click on “One Crime is Too Many”.

Save our Savannah is a non-profit corporation started to channel citizens input to help fight crime in Savannah and Chatham County. We are a non-partisan group looking for support from the community.

We expect to spend approximately six weeks, until mid February 2006, gathering information and developing a mission statement. During that time period our primary goal will be to increase citizen involvement with our organization. To join Save Our Savannah just send an email to Martin Sullivan

Our intention is to seek information from the Mayor and City Council, Chairman County Commissioners and Commissioners, and the Chief of Police to determine what we can do to help them fight crime. We believe that a coalition of concerned citizens and Government leaders can make a real difference.
