When Syracuse Police Chief Brian Wallace SYRACUSE ' vx' gave a status report of local crime and his police department to the city council on Tuesday, it was a mixed review. Wallace had high praise for his officers, noting that a lot of our guys volunteer their time beyond their 10 hour shifts" in work for the schools in particular. He also said his officers had been prepared, and that I just can't say enough about (their) willing attitude. Much of the equipment at the police department has been obtained by federal grants, accounting for a $10,000 grant for laptop computers for three to four cars, something most of the larger cameras, two hand neighboring cities already have, four held radar guns, portable breath testers, and salary' funding for some of their officers, among other things. He told the council, however, that although they were fairly well equipped, they did have need of bulletproof vests for all of the officers and for two or three more patrol car cameras which run at approximately $7,000 each. Wallace said the cameras will serve the department well to protect officers against threats of police brutality or inappropriate behavior. He also encouraged the couhdl to consider adopting a daytime curfew for kids who are truant from school.
