Redding's Neighborhood Police Unit (NPU) racked up some impressive numbers in curtailing crime in its first couple of years.
But city voters rejected a sales tax in the November 2016 election that would have provided continued funding for NPU.
Yet it persists; a campaign to raise the money privately has been set up, and Bethel Church pledged $500,000 and some additional funds to help keep neighborhood policing intact. Cory McCandliss is the fundraising director for the campaign and our guest.
