PHILADELPHIA- Appointed Police Commissioner, Chief Charles H. Ramsey commenced office by Mayor Michael Nutter on Janurary 7th, 2008. He discusses what Philadelphia law enforcement is planning to execute with 1,356 M16 Rifles. Out of the rifles that were issued to the PPD, an annoucement was made that one was unaccounted for. The rifles rarely been used in warfare are originally from the Vietnam-era. The investigation was ordered for Gibson to take the lead, who is apart of the Narcotics Unit. Philadelphia Police will also be utilizing social media as a crime fighting tool to investigate.
The Police also announces that the lack of funding is preventing the department from recording the interrogations. Since the 8 million dollar budget cut implemented by Governor Corbett, funding for city departments including education, and law enforcement has been a down trend ever since.
