Mayor Jimmy Smith held a press conference today at 11 at the courthouse to answer questions about crime. Business owners, citizens, and a local Pastor were in attendance to ask questions. One of the big questions that was asked "where is the City Council and Police Department" when you have a press conference about crime. Mayor Smith went on to say that Meridian has a young police force and will take about year and half to be where we need to be.
I was personally not aware that the city of Meridian has a curfew for youth. I asked Mayor Smith "what do we tell families that come to Meridian to shop and eat that they are going to be safe while they are in town"?
