(CBS) – A Chicago man, fed up and frustrated with what he says is the rising crime in his neighborhood, takes matters into his own pocketbook — shelling out thousands to pay for private street security.
CBS 2’s Dana Kozlov reports.
Security firm owner Howard Greer, also a Chicago cop, patrols the 1100 block of North LaSalle. It’s his off-duty job, paid for by this De Mudd.
“I’ve been watching my neighborhood deteriorate over the last couple of years,” Mudd says.
Police, he says, couldn’t keep up. So, Greer and fellow off-duty officers now walk the Gold Coast pocket with guns and handcuffs — six days a week, eight hours a day.
The biggest problems here? Drug dealing, prostitution and loitering. MORE

OT, THIS JUST IN:
Lisa Bardak, HRC’s personal M.D., says she was diagnosed with pneumonia last Friday, September 9.
This stinks to high heavens.
Might be cheaper to just buy everybody in the neighborhood a shotgun and lots of double aught buck. Put up some warning signs. This guy is wasting a lot of money.
I thought private security was only for the gun hating, filthy rich dirt bag progressives?
Hmmmm…..might be cheaper to just change neighborhoods.
