Save Columbus GA. Replace Police Chief Freddie Blackmon

The Issue

Save Columbus Georgia, petition to replace Freddie Blackmon as Chief of the Columbus Police Department!

It is currently 4:16pm Sunday February 19th 2023 and within the last 36 hours, our community has suffered six losses and endured seventeen shootings, many of which the victim's were children! Two of those shooting were considered mass shootings because the number of victims was above 3. These are just the numbers from Friday to Sunday! 

This after several business owners hired an outside consulting and assessment firm, Jensen Hughes to identify issues within the Columbus Police Department. The "Police Department is in SHAMBLES" read the resulting headlines! The entire assessment can be read here Jensen Hughes assessment 

The City Council publicly responded to this by claiming that the entire Country was suffering. They also deny the exact number of shortages the police department suffers and shrug off the dire warnings of the remaining LEO. There will be nothing left to protect if we don't take action now!!! How many more kids have to die before we save our Police Department? Let the Mayor and City Council know that we demand a CHANGE, replace Freddie Blackmon NOW!!!!
