Congressman Jack Kingston, Savannah Mayor Otis Johnson, Chatham County Commission Chair Pete Liakakis and “Save Our Savannah’ will host a town hall meeting this Monday to address crime in the city. Joining them will be Sheriff Al St. Lawrence and Police Chief Willie Lovett. At the invitation of Congressman Kingston and Mayor Johnson, Charleston, South Carolina Police Chief Emeritus Reuben Greenberg will also be attending.

Chief Greenberg is known nationally for his innovative methods of combating crime. His book, “Let’s Take Back Our Streets,” published in 1989, is used as a reference text for police forces across the nation. He has appeared on television programs such as 60 Minutes, Larry King Live and The Today Show.

“The Mayor, City Council and County Commission have been working to combat crime for many years. Some things have worked well, but we all agree that there is more to do and all ideas are welcome,” Congressman Kingston said. “More importantly, none of us are interested in finger pointing; we’re all in this together.”

Everyone is encouraged to attend the town hall which will be held:
