Toughlove and police work together for betterment of the community
By MARK HUFFMAN Staff Writer A myriad of complaints leveled against the Syracuse Police Department and various other law enforcement groups concerning problems stemming from alcohol and drug use by youths were addressed by Syracuse Police Chief Robert Ziller last week in an interview with The Mail-Journal Ziller deemed many of the complaints “unfounded” and asked parents to take more responsibility. Tom Prickett, a member of Toughlove, a self-help group for parents of troubled youth, echoed Ziller’s beliefs, saying, “Problems are always started within the home and you can’t ask the police to answer those problems, some people are just upset because they aren’t taking care of their own children. ” According to Ziller, a group of "about 12 kids” are causing many of the problems around town. “If you pulled those kids out of the area there would be no trouble,” he suggested. Such a move is viewed as ideal by many area residents; however, according to the chief, such action isn’t feasible. “The community has to

realize that just because they say someone is on drugs we can’t go out and grab’ them, we have to have statements to get a warrant — and many people aren’t willing to give those statements,” he explained. Those refusing to get involved are also a majority of those complaining, according to the chief. “Some of the complaints (about vandalism and theft by youths) are blown out of proportion, vandalism and petty thefts always go up in the summer months due to the warmer weather,” he said. Prickett added that a larger summer population also compounds the situation. “During the summer months Syracuse is a lot like South Bend because of the number of tourists in the area," he explained, suggesting that drugs and alcohol may be brought into Syracuse from other cities and towns as a result. A lack of manpower also handcuffs the police, with five full-time and three reserve officers responsible for the inflated population. “We just don’t have enough manpower for a ‘full-scale’ investigation," Ziller explained. Much of that summer population is also unemployed, according to Prickett. “On any given night you can see youths ‘hanging out’ around the parks and walking around town,” he suggested, while Ziller countered, “We’ve been attempting to watch those parks more and keep the kids off the streets at night, but the police can’t watch the area for 24 hours.” Ziller, who attends several of the Toughlove meetings, attempts to work with organizations withir. town to deter against youth alcohol and drug abuse.

"I’m a firm believer that if there’s not a progressive program set down we’re not going to get results,” Prickett remarked, adding, “We can see progress within our group (Toughlove).” While drugs and alcohol "are a problem” in the youth sector, according to Prickett, many of the problems can be prevented at home, as Ziller reiterated, “Parents just need to keep a tighter reign on their kids.”
