Violence in Newburgh?

[x635 4,066]

I know several months ago the sustained spike in violence in the City Of Newburgh was discussed on this forum.

Is violence still plaguing the city? I saw on the OCC Facebook page that they made a donation towards the ongoing fight against violence in the city. Have they made any headway?

Seth, a simultaneous raid of 3 seperate locations was conducted a week or so ago in Newburgh. I know that they were targeting gang members and drug charges. I will see if i can find any of the articles.

On a side note, i recently heard a rumor that Newburgh wants to lay off something like 16 Police Officers! The City of Newburgh needs MORE officers, not less IMHO.

Violence is so routine anymore, most of the stuff isn't even reported in the local papers.

This is the quote that was on the Facebook page. OCC supports so many charities, I've lost count. Does anyone know what OCC did to help combat the violence?
