Mayor, Pennington to address issue of crime
Will they continue to assert that crime isn’t on the rise in Atlanta, only the Perception of Crime? Or will they concede that the city has become more dangerous, what with all the various shootings, killings and carjackings?
We should find out Thursday morning, when, at 10 a.m., Mayor Shirley Franklin and Atlanta Police Chief Richard Pennington are scheduled to deliver a “Public Safety Update.” But don’t go to City Hall. The event will be held at the city’s planned future public safety headquarters at 226 Peachtree St.
Could this be the end of Perception of Crime Watch®?
