Gangland Park
Ed, gang members have moved their operations in our neighborhood park on Garfield Avenue. Every day and throughout the night the trafficking get heavier and we are seeing young men we have never seen in the park selling drugs, doing drop-offs and arguing loudly. We have contacted the East Trenton police on several occasions and talked with representatives from City Hall, but the situation is getting worse. Daycare workers at Macedonia Church walk the children to this park every day to play, and other summer youth programs frequent the park with young kids. This is a plea for help. I hope the TPD will see this and do something before a tragedy happens at the park.
Help Us
It’s a shame when the havens for children become havens for gangs. —Ed. Note

This problem is not taken seriously at any level. Trenton police aren't the only ones to blame for the state of crime prevention in this city. The issue is being totally ignored. Action must be taken on a legislative level, and yet they continue to drag their feet. Any form of law enforcement needs the realistic resources to discourage crime by way of prevention. The government has got to change things around from reactive to proactive. Too many excuses have been made regarding monies as well as personnel needed to address this problem. On our state level, the monies are allocated to monstrous waste and yet many areas of the city are being held captive to crime. We need representation that realistically addresses our problems. Hopefully,these issues will be remembered during the next election season.
