@delena williams...last I checked MOST of Norristown is heavily populated with crime...in what one location do you expect the police to sit? I'm pretty sure your tax dollars are not enough to afford extra police presence in specific areas of town, because then every resident/tax payer is gonna want the police on their block claiming their block is also heavily populated with crime...ijs

I'm surprised camera's wasn't installed outside the newly renovated apartments they built. I figure a nice setup like that would have them for the tenants safety.
