[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The police have got to do a better job in DTSS.  [b]It seems to attract youth from neighboring areas[/b] and shootings have gotten out of control.  Years ago, it wasn't like this.  It's a shame and I feel sorry for the businesses that will suffer when [b]people don't feel safe going there anymore[/b].[/quote]

What?[/quote]

Why does this bother people?  The County purposefully built DTSS as a night life attraction.  But they didn't increase the security and safety infrastructure to appropriate levels.    Silver Spring probably needs another 200 police.  But not only does Elrich and the Council cut police positions, they create a very hostile political climate here that makes good cops leave, and almost nobody apply to replace them.    Police are down about 125 officers.

And yes, a bunch of the violent crimes are by people who live outside of Montgomery County.  Not all, of course.  But crime isn't stopping at our county border.
