Attack Team .
Mr . Gallaghe r stated that crime has been on the increase in

LEAA grant of $101 ,000 in order to begin to attack this increase in
crime in the suburbs. He described the program and personnel require-
ments of it. He stat ed that the program would probably accomplish two
things -(1) To catch a lot more of the actual burglars, and (2) To
put forth publicity which hopefully would be a deterrent to crime in
the suburbs. He was requesting that Council endorse the project and
to add the additional personnel in the City's police department in
order to go forth with the project.
City Manager Dial stated that the one officer currently in
the Metro -wid e law enforcement group MEG could be reassigned if that
unit does not reactivate within three to four months. He felt that

set up a new position .
