Last year, the city of Asheboro received over $8 Million in American Rescue Plan funds (ARP Funds). Instead of using these funds on projects that could have freed up funds for the Asheboro Police Department they chose to send the entirety of the funds to build soccer fields just outside the city limits.
The city of Asheboro should give the Asheboro Police Department every resource it needs, including an immediate increase in funding, to address the spike in crime.
