Churches, residents and nonprofit agencies are joining forces with the Raleigh Police Department to take back their streets from drug dealers. The boundaries of the pro ject are Martin Luther King Boulevard, Hoke Street, Garner Road and South Wilmington Street. The area met the crite ria for the presence of violent crime, seizures and arrests related to drug cases. Crime statistics show that there were two murders, three rapes and 23 robberies reported within the area last year. There were also 30 calls for shots fired and 449 calls for drug-related activities, 201 arrests for drugs and 23 arrests for prostitution. After a competitive bid process, community groups were chosen to provide offender case management/resource coordination and quality of life community mobilization services. The project is based on the highly successful High Point model which giv^ non-violent offenders a second chance in hopes that they will make better choices. ‘A lifetime of health starts here. ’’ / % • Sthool/Sport Physkal • AllerjyTest a • In-House Lab/X‘Ray immuniitatton Andr«w igbatfi, MD PAAP Monday-I'ririay 8:OOam-S:OOptr ■ Saturday 9:003m-l:CIOpni CALL NOW FOR APPOINTMENTS 2540 West Arrowood Rd.
