As Police Chief of Your Suburban Town of 75,000 Residents

As police chief of your suburban town of 75,000 residents, you have noticed an increase of drug activity in three specific neighborhoods, one of which is less than a quarter mile from a local middle school. After countless complaints from concerned citizens, including the principal of the middle school, you must now determine how you are going todeal with the immediate problem. However, your enforcement budget has been exceedingly cut by the local city council which has taken away your ability todoenhanced patrols in these three hot spots, since it would leave other areas open for possible criminal activity as well. At present, you only have 30 full time officers tasked with patrolling a 50 square mile area, with noovertime budget. How will you attempt todeal with this immediate concern without leaving certain areas of your city unmanned and with your tight budget? Please explain your plan.
