I would like to commend the great work of Chief Hugh Clements and the Providence Police Department in the aftermath of Thursday’s shooting incident. Their diligent work to secure the crime scene and to arrest the suspects believed to be involved in this violent event have been a great source of relief to the community.

As our City faces an increase in violent crime, I call on community members and my fellow City leaders to support the good police work done by our Providence Police Department. We all want to feel safe in our neighborhoods and the men and women of our police force work every day to make that happen.

In my role as Senior Deputy Majority Leader and Councilman to Ward 4, I am committed to finding solutions to stop violent crime on our City streets, and I will continue to support our local law enforcement officers as they work towards the same goal.
