Businesses and IMPD agree that crime is on the rise in Broad Ripple Village. IMPD believes through virtual policing, with the help of businesses, they can crack down on the uptick.
"We've had more violence and shootings here in Broad Ripple just in the past six months than we've had in the last seven or eight years," Geoff Hufford said.He said during the day, Broad Ripple is calm but at night it's becoming a different story.Around 2 a.m. on Monday, a shootout happened just outside Lava Lounge Bar, according to police.
"We are really going to be pushing our B-LINK Indy and B-LINK Pro," Wolley said. These programs place cameras on businesses for real-time viewing and monitoring. Wolley said the department has always had a plan for Broad Ripple's bar district. It started back in 2014 with an uptick in robberies in the area. He said at that time they added eight patrol officers, but what they are seeing now is a national trend in bar districts in major cities.
