KENSINGTON CLEAN UP REACHES PHASE 2 AS VIOLENCE STRIKES MONDAY NIGHT

The city's efforts to clean up Kensington is moving forward as the initiative
reaches phase two. FOX 29's Steve Keeley has the latest.

PHILADELPHIA - Philly leaders are moving forward to phase two, the enforcement
phase, in their efforts to clean up Kensington.

The promises and plans from city hall months ago are being put into practice in
Kensington, police leaders announced Monday. More cops, more enforcement and
less of what Kensington has long become known for, a place where drugs flow and
crimes follow. 





"We are going to go down there and start to address what has been manifesting
from the issues down there," said Police Commissioner Kevin J. Bethel. "The
level of drugs, the violence that occurs there and all the things that have kept
that community pretty much imprisoned for a long time."

The newest Philadelphia Police officers are set to handle the initiative as
their first assignment goes right from the academy to Kensington.



"We will be moving 75 men and women from the Philadelphia police academy who
will graduate next week will move into the Kensington pocket where we will start
to address those drug corners and that drug activity that is causing much of the
violence that we see here," Bethel continued.

KENSINGTON AVENUE REMAINS CLEAR AS OFFICIALS WORK TO HELP THOSE MOVED TO SIDE
STREETS

It’s been about a week since a homeless encampment was cleared from Kensington.
That section remains clear, while city officials work to get those moved to side
streets into treatment and off the streets.

The commissioner's four years as chief of Philadelphia public school safety
showed him how tough kids have it in the 14 schools within the Kensington
section.

Especially, the elementary & middle schools close to each other in distance and
with disturbing statistics.

"Connell middle school and Willard across the street from one another are number
one and number three in the nation with having the highest level of shootings
around their schools within 500 feet," said Bethel. "I have watched what has
happened to our children down there. Our kids cannot play in that area down
there. Our kids cannot walk to school down there." the police commissioner
continued. 

The plan is to change both the perception and the reality that open sales and
use of drugs is and will no longer be okay. Furthermore, the quality of life
crimes in Kensington will no longer be tolerated and accepted, making Kensington
a safe area to go to school, work and a safe environment to live in.
