Good Press. Take note of the end of the video where they say other communities are looking to Lakewood for advice.

Outstanding job by Mayor FitzGerald and Council! 
While other communities cut the number of police in the face of budget challenges, they’ve stepped up to find a way to add more police while balancing the budget. Adding to police numbers is one thing but having the vision to create neighborhood police stations is in a league of its own.
Chasing the criminal element out of Lakewood will invite good law abiding (and tax paying) people to call Lakewood home.

I think the Block Watch program is a huge factor is this. Congrats to those who are involved in this... this is a great sign of success!
