The city has areas that are run down and unkempt resulting in community blight that is unattractive to homeowners and businesses. There are a large number (some 8000) abandoned buildings, although the city has started a demolition effort. Much of the housing stock is rental property providing no incentive for maintaining the property and we've seen limited landlord engagement to keep the properties up. Gary has seen a drop in population over the last decade, resulting in fewer jobs and businesses. This has led to buildings being abandoned and allowed to deteriorate.

My police unit is part of a much larger collaborative effort called the Kansas City No Violence Alliance. Kansascitynova.org... We are currently working to implement a Byrne Grant project in a very violent corridor of our city's urban core. Four officers and myself will be working in this corridor with community based organizations to implement a focused deterrence policing strategy and to apply CPTED principles to a commercial corridor revitalization effort.

Our community has various issues with street gangs and motorcycle gangs as well as drug sales and use. We have very little funding available to provide training to educate law enforcement on these topics and many of the usual resources (NCTC, MAGLOCLEN) have reduced their training due to a reduction in funding.
