...There's light at the end of the tunnel. Shortly after this summer's flash mobs in Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights, police in another adjacent Cleveland suburb learned about a "big fight" planned for South Euclid city park.
South Euclid Police shut down the park for the entire day of the "big fight" and instead hosted a multi-agency police K-9 training session. K-9 teams from all across greater Cleveland participated. And guess what? No one showed up for the "big fight." Nor did any South Euclid citizens complain about the park closing.
Now, that's what I call "community policing" at its best. Maybe next time SWAT should host a similar multi-agency training session.
Hey, that's what taking care of a problem before it becomes a problem.
I'm not too hip on "closing" the park, but using it for training? Classic!
