Crime Down

  • Violent crime dropped 2.6 percent, with 29,266 crimes, such as rapes and homicides, reported through October of this year, compared with 30,037 last year -- a difference of 771 such crimes.

    The number of reported arsons so far this year, 601, is up from last year's 582.

    And the number of reported murders is down 3.8 percent, with 380 reported so far this year and 395 reported last year.

Still a chance for a strong finish though.

Crime down??
If you drink Kool-aid it means you tow the company line, or believe the corporate propaganda- Your a company man.

What is it called when the City spews forth crap and the city's media outlets publish it and the city believes it??

Kinda reminds me of Jim Jones dispensing kool-aid to all shepple in South America.

The pencils in the review offices are working overtime.

The two detectives that review all homicide reports that sit outside Chief Maher's office are doing their assignments.

As long as they keep changing classifications crime and homicides will continue to go down.

If Pam Zekman could get into the computer data base it would be big time headlines across the country.

We only have "Phat Phil" to thank for this!

Funny how they never report the stats for Aggravted Battery with a Firearm.

While murders may indeed be falling, just as many people are getting shot as ever!

The hospitals are just getting better at patching them up.

Murder suspect gave fake name, police say

November 18, 2007
A teen wanted in the fatal shooting of Ronald Heard -- son of a Chicago Police officer who was killed while defending a woman in a restaurant parking lot in October -- apparently tried to fool authorities by giving a false name, police in Berrien County, Mich., said Saturday.

Michigan police arrested Darius Walton, 18, in Benton Harbor, Mich., on Wednesday morning on a drug-related search warrant, according to Berrien County Sheriff's police.

Walton lied at first and said his name was Jamar Wilson, but fingerprinting revealed his true identity, police said.

Investigators discovered he was wanted for first-degree murder in Chicago, and he was still being held at the Berrien County Correctional Facility Saturday evening.

Walton will have to answer to the Michigan drug charges before he can be extradited back to Chicago, but that process could be sped up depending on what happens with the Michigan charges, police said.

Heard, 23, was shot five times early Oct. 6 in a drive-through lane at a White Castle at 6901 S. Western Ave., police said.

Walton is one of two suspects in the shooting to be apprehended.

The first suspect -- Rashad Johnson, 18, of Chicago -- was indicted Nov. 2 on two counts of murder, according to Cook County state's attorney's office spokeswoman Tandra Simonton.

Johnson's arraignment is set for Wednesday at 9 a.m., Simonton said.

Higher taxes is the main reason. Shitheads have to move out. They can't afford their houses and landlords can't afford cheap rent.
So, bye jag-offs!!!

Crime down and contact card numbers are up! Good work men! Why don't we create some new awards!

The contact card writer of the month award for instance: a plain white ribbon with some black printed bullshit inside that represents the nothingness and worthlessness of the whole idea!

The Top DOG award: a doghouse looking award with the McRuff the Crime dog picture in it sitting on a La Z Boy listening to a scanners. Given to the just about everyone like the Crime Reduction Ribbon.

The Most Coded Jobs of the Year award with no arrest: A green background with a ? in the middle. This is a City award given to the Officer that goes above and beyond the call of duty to avoid all contact with citizens and gets limited CR's and Lawsuits from non-interaction.

The Most Tv and Internet hours spent on company time award: Sorry not just a desk and lock up award anymore! Design would be a small TV with the Simpsons family inside it sitting on the couch.

The CELL/TEXT award: given to the top cell phone user during company time that has accrued over 10,000 minute in a year while on duty. The design is pending sponsorship from an acredited company.

The Plunger Award: Given to the Officer that has taken the most DUMPS on company time in a police facility. Design would be plain Brown backfield.

Just some new input for the new regime to ponder over as they try to get our morale back up as they take over!

One of the girls found murdered and burned in a dumpster on the southside was pregnant. Did the city claim 2 murders for that case like they should? And how many other times has 1 murder been logged for the death of a pregnant woman...like the hispanic girl on Halloween?

Agg Batts? Most agg batts are just gang violations...if you subtract those, then crime rates will appear even lower.

Why is everyone always bashing the recruits? They are paying your pension, after all. Plus, when you are retired, sitting in your living room in your Depends, and some shitbird comes along and tries burglarizing you, who you gonna call? The same recruits you are now bashing. Spend less time bashing and more time mentoring...

You sir are retarded!!!! I will infact be calling my good friend Mr. Sauer first name Sig then I will be calling another trustworthy friend to bring the shovel. The recruits now are nothing but a bunch of whinny know-it-alls who have no respect for anybody, including bosses. How can somebody with 12 months on feel like they should be assigned to the car of their choice and on days? If you've never been to 11th/state then SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU WHINNY LITTLE BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry but it had to be said.
