Thursday night neighbors in south Montgomery got a chance to talk to police and city  and county officials about their concerns.

It’s part of a series of FOCUS groups for the city.  Several city and county agencies were there at the DPS South Central Station. Non-profit organizations came out to share about their services. The mayor and city and county officials talked about some of the improvements in the area, including more growth and development. Police Chief Ernest Finley says he is is getting a lot of feedback from the neighbors.

“The concerns are police presence, police visibility. Those are my challenges that I have to work with based on crime data, based on what the tenants in these meetings tell us where we need to be. So we’ll work on these little challenges,” said Chief Finley.

This was the second FOCUS group in a series of community events the city will be doing in neighborhoods across the area
