Jacob Frey: “I want them focusing their energies on investigating crime…”

“Where safety has been compromised, our officers have stepped in to help. But I'll tell you exactly what I want our officers doing. We only have. We have 600 of them. They got limited time. I want them focusing their energies on investigating crime, on keeping people safe, on preventing carjackings and homicides. I don't want them spending time hunting down a guy, a dad, who has done nothing wrong, who just dropped his kids off at daycare, who's about to go work a 12 hour shift.” (24:02–24:13)
