Councilwoman McBride's Plea to the Governor

This petition is being circulated to address the 32 tragic murders that have taken place in the City of Trenton in this 2013 calendar year. The Trenton Police Department is overwhelmed and needs immediate assistance. We are appealing to Governor Christie to use his Executive power to deputize additional law enforcement officers to come into the city and help stop the violence.

Why is this important?

This petition is being circulated to receive an immediate response to the cries of the concerned citizens of the City of Trenton. We are asking for immediate attention regarding the reoccurring violence in the city streets with respect to the 32 tragic murders that have taken place in 2013. The fears of the residents of the City of Trenton grow stronger on a daily basis. The quality of life and public safety is our number one concern.
