Not certain the community is split on the idea of a police resource center at the Eurma Hayes center. From reading the article, it sounds as if the BOD for the Center is looking at the resource center as a way to bring some much needed funds to help cover costs at the center, while others are concerned about expanding the police footprint in the city. Since the Center is supposed to provide much needed services to the northeast side of Carbondale, I am not sure if running the center "like a business" is the best way to approach the Center's problems.
I would like to see Carbondale police out and walking around more. I remember a few eyars ago the Arbor District, after a few break-ins in the area, pressed the CPD to put more police on foot in the area instead of relying on officers in cars. I don't think anything came of that initiative though although it does appear the Department reported over 5000 foot patrols in 2020
