The latest statistics show only a minor dent in crime since the declaration July 11 of a crime emergency, but Mayor Anthony Williams said Wednesday that it will take time for his initiatives to work. He also promised to roll out additional programs.

“I think all of the ensemble of things we did in the crime emergency are going to begin to work together and you’re going to see, I think, week by week continued progress,” Williams said during his regular press briefing, this week from the Sherwood Recreation Center on 10th Street Northeast.
