Marv Peterson: "There is so much drug dealing and vandalism going on here. I was broken into. We know the people who did it but we can't do anything about it."

Richard Burris: "We sometimes go out at night to keep an eye on things. There was a lot of traffic and people were getting in your face. We are not asking for more protection, we know that you don't have enough resources. What we are asking for is more undercover patrols - everybody can recognize a black and white patrol car from a mile away. It doesn't work." The community groups are hoping that the SPD will be able to switch some resources to undercover patrols instead of regular street patrols.

Luke Tolley: "The response to the letter we sent has been awesome. Where we are at now is how do we continue on and work with the city."
