Melissa in the Morning: Armed Neighborhood Groups

Hartford is working to combat crime with several proposals. One of those proposed measures includes armed neighborhood watch groups. In fact, one group rolled out for a shift this past weekend for the first time. Meanwhile, The Hartford City Council is considering a compromised resolution that would bring UNARMED neighborhood block watches to reduce crime. What could this resolution mean for other towns and cities in Connecticut combatting crime rates? What does this measure say to police in our state? We tackled that with Crime on the Mind’s Jim Perez.
