I wrote a story in Monday's Daily News that examined two approaches the Philadelphia Police Department is relying on this summer to combat the rising numbers of homicides and shootings in the city.

A smaller portion of the story checked in on Operation Pressure Point, which is experiencing some growing pains this summer.
