At least this chief did not come from NYPD looking for a place to retire. She talks the talk, now walk the walk and show us something.

The CoP can't do anything about sentencing, but she can show that she won't allow bigotry to influence her as she carries out her role. I hope she tells the NAACP to shove it the next time they come whining about the disenfranchised. That should get the attention of the gangbanger fraction or as they say, "send a message".

In downtown Raleigh, it was 11:48 pm and I saw kids no older than 16 skateboarding on the sidewalks. She should start there. Where are these kids parents anyway in that they allow their kids to be out that late at night? And around adults clubs, no less?

congratulations to her for becoming Chief. I am not sure what exactly she plans to do about juvenile crime but one thing that needs to be done is to NOT BE SO SOFT on juveniles who commit these crimes. Many deserve to be locked up for life and when they are not they do it again....

Juvinile crime?! Is the PD going to come into Raleigh homes and help raise children with qualities such as respect, delayed gratification, patience, and self control? This is not the PD's job. We need PD to enforce laws not babysit.

If Deck-Brown thinks juvenile crime is the biggest challenge facing Raleigh's law enforcement then she is out of touch. Deck-Brown must not drive in Raleigh or be interested in protecting and serving the citizens of Raleigh if she sees juvinile crime as a focus over more important issues that affect more citizens of Raleigh.

While juveniles may have killed a man in August, there were multiple wrecks during the same month. In just one of those August wrecks two DWI drivers killed Marvin Gerome and injured five others.

In December teens may have killed another teen but there were multiple wrecks during the same month. In just one of those wrecks, a veteran fire fighter Lt. Harry P. Flip Kissinger IV was killed by a bad driver

Congratulations Chief Deck-Brown, I hope you can make a difference in young adults. Gangs are out of control and we need someone willing to make tough decisions. My prayer and support to you.

Congrats Chief Brown! You are more than qualified and it's refreshing to see that you've earned this promotion by working your way up the ranks within the department.

Kudos to Raleigh for NOT hiring a rent-a-chief that skips around from department to department after they screw it up!

Other police agencies need to follow suit.

Congratulations Chief. Your officers support you and that's something this department has not had for a long time.

Lock up juveniles the same way we do with adults. Does nobody else see that society as a whole is soft on crime and criminals know it?

I am confused. If juvenile crime is crime committed by juveniles then what is gun crime, crimes committed by guns?
