Man the 15th Street Substation in Tacoma
There is a fully functioning police station right in the heart of Hilltop Tacoma a problem area fro violent crime and gang related crime and, yet, it is a sub-station and unmanned. WHY?
Why is this important?
The Tacoma Hilltop is a high crime area and has been for years and yet the police station right in the middle of it is unmanned and serves as an expensive and high tech rest station. I ,personally, have had to wait for help after a brutal beating, literally, 1 block from this station. We need officers present and ready to assist as well as to be a deterrent by their mere presence.
