My sources tell me that on Friday, April 11, 2008, Mayor Jackson will announce the redistricting plan for the Cleveland Police Department.
I am also told that it appears that the 3rd District will still close, but the downtown area will be taken over more by the 5th District than the 2nd, which makes sense, in that it would have been difficult under the prior proposed plan for 2nd District cars to get across the valley/river in emergencies.
2nd District (where I live) will expand somewhat to encompass all of the Stockyards and Detroit-Shoreway. 2nd District will add approximately 30 police officers due to the closing of 3rd District.
Details subject to change of course, prior to the announcement being "officially" made on Friday, but this is what I learned today.
The mayor also rescheduled his community forum over here in the 2nd District from tonight to next Tuesday, April 15 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Zone Rec Center. Be there to hear about the redistricting first hand and to ask questions of hizzoner himself.
Stay tuned.

So if the second district is taking over responsibilities now shared with the first district does the first district become smaller with fewer police officers. How will that work/ it appears that essentially there will be two districts on the west side of the river and three on the east side, but how does that coincide with area and numbers of people and number of crimes, etc. Will we see the rationale behind the decision or will this be another instance when you elected us so trust us scenario/
Just wondering. What do your sources tell you? On the surface, I would say that this is good for the 2nd district since the downtown sports venue will no longer be under that jurisdiction. Is there going to be a designated downtown detail/
Again, just wondering.
im surpised you haven't come out swinging against this new airport police deal. you know, the one that's gonna cost us an additional 2.5 million dollars out of the budget and not produce any positive results.
