MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Montgomery police have opened a new
bureau aimed to responding rapidly to spikes in crime.
The Montgomery Advertiser reports that the Special Response Bureau will be based in the West Precinct Substation on West Fairview Avenue. However, Maj. Ron Cook says officers assigned to it will respond to crimes throughout the city.
Mayor Todd Strange says his own neighborhood, Vaughn Meadows, is among those that's fallen prey to burglaries recently.
He said he also has been hearing about break-ins in Cloverdale,
Hillwood, McGehee Estates and other neighborhoods.
Montgomery Public Safety Director Chris Murphy said the Special
Response Bureau will use the crime statistics collected daily by
CompStat, which pinpoints where and what kind of crimes take place
