LEWISTON — The city’s police chief announced Monday that overtime shifts and coordinated patrols with state police are being added to combat a recent spike in violent crime in the city’s downtown area. Chief Brian O’Malley said a staff shortage prompted him to add overtime shifts to patrols in areas that have seen increases in violent crime, and state police are expected to boost traffic and drug interdiction efforts within the city limits.
