| Subject: Volunteers cruise Newark streets to deter thugs Thu Oct 29, 2009 11:55 pm | |
| Volunteer convoys have been cruising Newark's roughest streets over the last month in an effort to cut crime rates and fly the flag for law enforcement. Citizens taking part in the "Crime Caravan" program hit the streets in packs of vehicles that resemble crime response units, led by off-duty officers flashing their emergency lights.
Critics say the program is a political gimmick and could put volunteers in danger. But Mayor Cory Booker, who created the program, says it's all about letting people know the law still holds in Newark. "The caravan gives people a sense of strength and security," he told AP. "They let criminals know we're taking the city back."
