Plan Unified Program For Crime Prevention
City commission backed a joint city county school crime prevention plan. Judge F N McGregor and State Youth Development official William McKay urged two or more officers be assigned to juvenile work with special training. McKay noted police work should stay with police and probation officers focus on offenders. Potter County has a poor juvenile record, with state school data showing higher counts of youths in training schools than neighboring counties. The proposal will go to the school board for attendance officer expansion to keep youths in school. Mayor Gene Klein pledged support.
