The new Mayor has put out a statement after the gun violence in the beginning days of the new year. Her letter reads in part……
“This week, the Raleigh City Council voted to fund “Raleigh Cares,” a mental health response team accessible through 911, which will launch in June of 2025.
I hope the first three weeks of 2025 are an aberration. I am committed to ensuring that the programs we are implementing will save lives and reduce violence.”
Guess we will see….

Our new police chief is a 25 year RPD veteran. I didn’t pay much attention to the selection project but I feel like this is probably a good thing. He should be very familiar with Raleigh and our challenges and strengths.
Edit: I had meant to post a link to the story. Oops!

Rico Boyce is an incredible selection for Chief and will build upon the strong foundation established by outgoing chief Patterson, including 0 vacancies upon graduation of the upcoming recruiting class.

“Someone who walks out her door on the edges of sprawl suburbia is much more likely to die at the hands of a stranger than someone moving through most American central cities or inner suburbs”
“Partly because sprawl has forced Americans to drive farther and farther in the course of every day, per capita road death rates in the U.S. hover over 40k per year” (1/3 more people than are killed by guns).
