Those four municipalities are among numerous suburban cities and villages lying just south of Chicago. The area from Calumet Park all the way to University Park is considered the Southland.. They sat down with CBS 2's Terry to talk about what is needed, and lacking, in the Southland communities.Curry is in the middle of her first term as mayor of Lynwood. She and some other Southland mayors recently met with Gov.
"It's not just the cameras," Wells said."It's the storing of all that information - which can get to be very expensive." "And so that's the kind of thing a small community like mine struggles with - and then the other thing is funding for police officers," Wells said.And officers patrolling in the south suburbs are putting in extra work with crime spilling from Chicago.This includes the pop-up teen takeovers threatening communities.
