With just five days left in the year, city leaders and lawmakers are beginning to set their sights on 2022 and how to curb the record-breaking amount of violence that has afflicted the city over the last year.
At the statehouse, Marion County's Republican senators announced a package of bills aimed at curbing crime.
They detailed a total of five bills that address some of the things community leaders and the police union have been complaining about.
Senate Bill 6 would reduce the number of violent offenders released on bail by requiring courts to review arrest warrants before release, holding open bail hearings and requiring the arrestee to pay the full minimum bail amount in cash.
Senate Bill 7 would establish a Marion County crime reduction board that would allow for better collaboration between law enforcement agencies.
Senate Bill 8 would regulate charitable bail organizations by requiring they register with the Department of Insurance. This bill would also prohibit these organizations from bailing out individuals charged with a felony.
IMPD is also working to upgrade its crime-fighting technology to assist police response and evidence gathering. These upgrades include installing more public safety cameras in high crime areas. The new cameras will complement the cameras already installed downtown and at intersections throughout the city.
