A community group known as Saginaw Rising said enough is enough when it comes to crime in the city.
Saginaw Rising will be at the Saginaw County Board of Commissioners Committee meeting tonight to present what they call a profound project for crime prevention efforts.
Grady Holmes Jr is organizer of the Saginaw Rising Steering Committee. In January according to FBI statistics, Saginaw is one of the top ten most violent cities in the United States.
"Crime in Saginaw today is going to be crime in other communities tomorrow, and it's like a cancer it's growing. We want to stop the cancer from growing we want to employ crisis intervention model here in the Great Lakes Bay Region and in Saginaw and that's what we're going to do." Holmes said.
Holmes said some of the recommendations will focus on pooling community resources to reduce crime, looking at root causes in the community and educating residents on how to be proactive when witnessing a crime.
Holmes also said his group will make a major announcement at the meeting tonight.
