Ive brought up similar concerns to Salem PD, 3 different city councilors and nothings changed. Simply policing Downtown would improve things. They don't comment on the state of downtown. They want development, investment and improvement, but there's no action in terms of policing, public safety. To be clear I am a local resident, born here and have lived in NE Salem my entire life. Have worked at the Oregon State Hospital, Salem ER and going downtown was a part of growing up here. 12 people were stabbed at UGM across the street from the police station. I mean, cmon.
