Does Rochester spend its money for public safety wisely? Should resources be diverted from policing functions to helping young people at risk of being offenders? Are Rochester area people mentoring young people enough?

That's the subject of an online forum on Rochester, troubled youth and public safety spending today at 2 p.m.

This focus on prevention was a key discussion point during a 

 of Rochester on February 1 at the Mayo Civic Center

Krueger is scheduled to participate in this online discussion (2 p.m. Friday, Feb. 11).
