Drugs, noise topics at WPD meeting

The residents’ requests came as no surprise to Chief Dennis Dorsey and his command staff, who presented crime statistics showing that many of the city’s major crimes occur in the Winder Police Department’s Zone 2, which is north of the railroad tracks and east of Broad Street.

Among the felonies being committed disproportionately in that area are aggravated assault, robbery, burglary and motor vehicle theft, he said.
