brady, police chief wayne jerman says this team will be proactive in its approach to reducing violence in the community. that's really the whole idea, and p-cat is part of this greater push by the city to violence before it happens. chief jerman says p-cat will be deployed to what he calls "at-risk" neighborhood s, and areas of the city dealing with specific crime problems. he says these issues will be reviewed by the commander of the patrol division, who will also look at complaints from citizens. where those crime trends are happening will determine what part of the city the team will work in. chief jerman told us he'll be measuring the team's effectiveness in a number of ways, including a reduction in calls for service and an overall decrease in violent crime. "when they're deployed into a neighborhood that may have an identified crime trend, ideally, we'd want to eliminate that trend so those reports of whatever incidents or crimes they're dealing with will certainly be reduced."
