Turnout at Warren Safety Summit disappointment

WARREN

In what was billed as the first Warren Safety Summit, a panel representing city police and fire departments, officeholders and state and U.S. attorneys called for more help from the public in Warren’s crime-fighting efforts.

The meeting at the Warren YWCA on Tuesday evening was organized by state Sen. Capri Cafaro of Liberty, D-32nd, who said she had been working on getting all the participants together for more than a year.

The discussion attracted more than 40 people, many of whom already are members of the city’s seven neighborhood block watches.

Warren Law Director Greg Hicks admitted he was disappointed with the turnout. “It should have been [standing room only] here.”
