PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Starting Friday, the Philadelphia Police Department is stepping up patrols to try to tackle gun violence in the city. All officers assigned to patrols will work 12-hour shifts instead of eight.
The extended shifts will continue through Sunday night.
Last weekend was a violent one in the city, with more than two-dozen people shot.
The department hopes longer hours on the streets will help it manage weekend violence.
