President Biden To Meet With CPD Supt. David Brown On Crime Reduction
Biden has suggested using COVID-19 funds to create summer jobs for teenagers as a way to combat crime.
CHICAGO (CBS) — The Chicago Police Department confirmed Brown is among several mayors and police chiefs meeting with Biden later Monday. The meeting comes at a time when many are dealing with a rise in shootings and killings.
Even as Brown and others meet with President Biden today, we know much of the president’s suggestions on the topic. He has been encouraging cities to invest some of their COVID-19 relief funds on things like policing and alternative crime reduction steps. One example is creating summer jobs for teenagers.
