WMOK – Metropolis IL – When WMOK spoke with Metropolis Police Chief Harry Masse for our regularly scheduled Coffee Break program in October we addressed the topic of homelessness in Metropolis.
- Damage at parks – picnic tables broken to be used as firewood, graffiti, and leaving trash behind
- Three ordinance tickets were written for camping in Lincoln/Civitan Park
- November is Child Homeless Awareness Month
- Ponders if the homeless population is increasing or if homeless individuals are more visible due to abandoned and dilapidated structures being removed in the city
- Transparency
- Panhandling
