An employee at the Jerome Variety Shop declined comment, but the store is equipped with multiple surveillance cameras and recording equipment.

One employee from another local business, said, “The cops have to be more visible in the neighborhood. No, I don’t see the police out here, I don’t know what’s going on. The Jerome Avenue Business Improvement District will let us know what’s going on.” The BID helps businesses through marketing and maintenance services.

Asked if police conducted foot patrols in the week’s leading up to the holidays, the employee replied, “No, not really… you don’t see them on a regular patrol here.”
