Madison’s police department is getting more money to try and stop crimes from occurring in the first place.
The city yesterday announced it’s been awarded 125 thousand-dollars for ‘wrap-around’ services aimed at teens. The idea is to provide teenagers enough support that they don’t fall into a life of crime early. Madison Police Captain Mike Hanson says the idea actually came from social workers who said a holistic approach could keep some kids from following down the wrong path.
