Policing downtown Hamilton

This week alone, Hamilton's downtown has been in the news for drug issues, problems at the Central Library and even graffiti. Throw in the often-cited concerns about crime, violence and mental health and the city is faced with a massive, ongoing challenge. The police are the front line to all this. So what are they doing to clean it up? Supt. Robin Abbott, the Division 1 commander in charge of the downtown, joins Placeline Hamilton to talk about what officers working in that area are trying to do, are having success doing and simply can't do.
