Durham city worker robbed, another shot at

The incidents were "very sad and pathetic," City Councilman Eugene Brown said. "This is not your usual crime, to attack someone on a backhoe. Geez. This is not Fallujah. Or maybe it is. Eternal vigilance is what's needed, and probably more police officers."
Brown's mention of more officers referred to a recent report by Chalmers to the council that acknowledged that the department is 23 officers short of being fully staffed -- and that even when it has a full complement, it's another 23 officers short of meeting the needs identified by its most recent personnel allocation study.
A new allocation study is under way and should be ready in December.
Additional officers are "not the only answer, I fully understand that, but when your city employees can't work in certain neighborhoods without being fired upon, it's a very sad commentary, and we need to do a better job," Brown said.
