After a night of residents in St. Mary Parish voicing their concerns over crime in their towns, officials have scheduled a second meeting.
On June 13, chiefs of police from Patterson, Berwick, Morgan City, Franklin and Baldwin will be on hand to answer questions on gun violence, the drug epidemic, and home invasions. Attorneys and Judges from the 16th JDC will also be at the meeting.
The initial town hall meeting on June 6 included a panel of mayors from across the parish. During that meeting, residents and mayors provided their insights and solutions to the ongoing problems in the parish.
Discussion ranged from discipline in schools to help curb crime involving juveniles to adding additional youth programs and school activities for students. See the full story here.
