There seems to be a large increase in crime in Columbia in the last several years and seems to be getting worse. The one crime that seems to be increasing the most is gun violence and shootings.

I trust CPD, but the closeness of shootings to the police headquarters is alarming, as it shows the brazenness of our local criminals. Looking forward to more lights downtown.

Not just downtown Columbia. Columbia as a whole. But people won't give info to CPD, and it's going to keep happening.

It doesn’t matter where we live. The crime is going up all over the country. Criminals need to be stopped. We can not defund the police. We probably need more police than ever.

Well I'm not, but my neighbors are all armed to the teeth, and we all have big mean dogs.
