The head of the Rochester patrol officers union says he's "frustrated, annoyed and disappointed" at Mayor Warren's announcement of a plan for new police recruits to live in the city.
Mike Mazzeo of the Police Locust Club says this is the sort of thing that should be worked out in collective bargaining...not suddenly sprung on them. He says that's how such things have been handled in the past.
Mazzeo...who says he once tried to buy a house in the city but couldn't get a mortgage...says what really damaged police-community relations in Rochester was the ending of neighborhood police sections in 2004. Those are being restored under Mayor Warren's administration.
