But Dyer says, summer crime increased, especially among teenagers being recruited into gangs. He said, "We are starting to see a heavy recruitment of those 14 and 15 year olds. We are also starting to see 14 and 15 year olds engaged in a lot of gang violence within our community."
Dyer blames the increase in violence on the sheriff releasing inmates early. Dyer also says, the state is letting more criminals go on parole.
