That the national quard will be used to free cops up - like staying at a crime scene, transporting prisoners, directing traffic ,giving assistance to the homeless etc They will not have guns or be in a uniform. They will be wearing tees & do what police aids do - to free up police from doing mundane stuff.

CRIME IS DOWN IN ALB

“ APD showed off quarter-year statistics that indicated large decreases in crime, compared with 2024, and said the extra help could get those numbers down further.

“What we want to do is double down on what’s working … and what’s working is technology and civilians … freeing up officers to fight crime and keep those statistics going in this powerfully good direction,” Keller said. “A short-term way to help with that is by the National Guardsmen helping out.”
