Late last week, Mayor Cherelle Parker celebrated her first 100 days in office. She also released a sweeping public safety plan, the 100 Day Report, which calls for hiring more officers, reducing both shootings and nuisance crimes, and revitalizing Kensington by “[removing] the presence of drug users,” among other initiatives. In a special midweek roundup, host Trenae Nuri unpacks the mayor's new policing agenda with Anna Orso, City Hall reporter for The Philadelphia Inquirer, Jillian Bauer-Reese, newsroom director at Kensington Voice, and Carly Sitrin, Philadelphia Bureau Chief at Chalkbeat Philadelphia.
