OUTSOURCING COMMUNITY POLICING

The Adams Morgan Biz Improvement District will hire four unarmed security guards and four off-duty police officers to patrol its streets on weekend nights.


The patrols will be out "walking the streets and will serve as eyes and ears for the police. If they see anything suspicious happening, they will have direct contact with the cops," Josh Gibson of the Adams Morgan BID told NBC4.

Bill Dugan, who owns Madam's Organ, said adding more police patrols is the answer. If Dugan who is not know to respect author-i-tie is calling for more police, things must be out of hand.

When was the last time you saw a cop standing on the street somewhere in this town, exculuding protests and doing traffic control by the Verizon Center and RFK?
