Note
"Because of the need to have simultaneous lines of inquiry completed by multiple parties, this report is organized in a way that summarizes the key recommendations and findings up front, while providing readers with access to the full reports for each major line of inquiry in the Appendices. This format allowed the report components to be written simultaneously by multiple staff, and thus allowing the project to be completed within the expedited timeframe."--Page 6.
Résumé
"The principal questions facing the Wilmington Public Safety Strategies Commission are why the
City of Wilmington has not experienced the same crime reductions enjoyed by similarly situated
municipalities across the country and what Wilmington can do about that. This report offers our
examination of the strategies currently being employed by the City and the WPD, and our
proposal of strategies that might be employed to better address the WPD’s core mission of
creating a safer Wilmington."--Page 8.
