Hi Chief Lewis,
Great job solving the Christmas Lights Caper. I am so happy that Easter Seals will have their fundraiser.

Now do you think you could use the same resources to arrest these thugs who are terrorizing our neighborhoods? If you have not noticed, things seem to be unraveling in our city. People are being killed.

In the past an officer on foot patrol was present in Wooster Square for a few hours after dark to be sure that residents got home safely. Time for his return!
