Philly top cop

    Progress update on Philadelphia’s crime emergency. We’ll talk with the City’s new Police commissioner CHARLES RAMSEY about his plan targeting high crime neighborhoods for additional police patrols. Prior to taking the job in Philadelphia in 2007, Ramsey served on an independent commission for Congress that assessed the readiness of Iraq’s military and police forces. Ramsey served as the chief of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia from 1998-2006.
