La Crosse Mayor Shaundel Washington-Spivey is addressing concerns around public safety in the city’s parks and downtown area.
He warned residents that negative behavior will not be tolerated and encouraged positive use of public safety. Washington-Spivey noted there will be an increased presence of Neighborhood Resource Officers in and around the parks. The announcement comes after Burns and Cameron Parks were closed last September following safety issues. City officials added that both sheltered and unsheltered individuals have contributed to safety issues.
