Fighting Crime with Classical Public Radio
A recent article in Tacoma, Washington's The News Tribune, "Will Ruffians Run from Mozart?", describes the city's plan to use the local classical station's signal to run off would-be hooligans:
Meet Tacoma’s new gang-busting squad – Beethoven, Mozart and Bach. Police and transit officials hope playing classical music at bus stops will shoo away unwanted gang activity.
The first speakers are being installed at the Tacoma Mall Transit Center and should start piping classical music radio sometime this week. They will be tuned 24 hours a day to KING 98.1 FM. You can read the full article here.
Maybe the Tacoma Police and Transit systems should start contributing to KING 98.1.
