DeKALB – DeKalb aldermen expressed support for the different efforts police officers and other city officials have taken to reduce crime in the city.

Mayor Kris Povlsen said in an interview after Monday’s meeting that the different proactive policing measures – the administrative tow and the new housing bureau – were necessary.

“We do know there are people coming here into this community or live in this community really don’t have the best interests of the community in mind,” Povlsen said. “I was impressed with the fact that, when people are committing crimes...we have the ability to tow their cars.”
