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.
