John Stanford started his first full week as interim police commissioner Monday, and there's a lot he wants to get done to make the city safer.
"Community, cops and crime." Those are the three priorities for Stanford as he now leads the fourth-largest police department in the country.
"There are too many people shot in our city, but to know our homicides are down around 19%, it's been hovering around that 19% to 20%. Our shooting victims are down 24%. It's not a victory by any stretch of the imagination, but it gives us hope, and hopefully, it gives citizens in this city some hope, understanding things are turning around."
"My family lives in the city. My mother lives in the city. The fact that she doesn't feel safe despite knowing the work that her son is doing each and every day means I have a lot of work to do. We have a lot of work to do," he says.
