Guest Crime fighter Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 The uniform crime report revealed that crime was up 13.5% in Harrison in 2005. That is a significant increase while the rest of the state experienced a 3%decrease in crime. What's happening? Are the cops sitting on their hands? I thought the new steady shifts would increase morale and make them work harder. Apparently the opposite is happening. I think that the Police Committee should sit down with the new Chief and ask him what he is doing to prevent crime. What ever happened to community policing? Its time for a change in Harrison. The Chief must produce better results then a 13.5% increase. He has to do crime analysis and put the officers when and where the crime is happening. Its time for a shakeup. New personnel are needed in the Detective Bureau. Its time to stop using the DB offices for a PBA gathering place. : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you picking on the police? It is the Mayor and Councul and Police Administration that sets policies and limits what the Officers can do. How many new officers have been hired? How many times are the Officers disciplined for taking initiative? It is hard to cut crime when you are understaffed and your hands are tied.

In each case they were able to tell me exactly who was responsible. They learned this from other people in the neighborhood. It seem everyone knows who is committing these crimes but the police. Of course it is one thing to know but another to prove who did it. Better trained detectives should be able to prove who did what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAYOR, MORE COPS <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A thousand more cops sitting at Dunkin Doughnuts isn't going to reduce crime. We either need more detectives or better trained detectives. Get them off their butts and out investigating crimes until their is an arrest. If they cant find the bad guys, put someone in there who can. Send these guys to schools so they get better trained.

It is almost like a waste of time for these guys to go to the Academy because they are not allowed to do what they were trained to do, did the Mayor, DPW or Council ever graduate the Academy? What do they know about Law? The new Officers that are fairly new are doing a great job there are at least 3-4 of them who do not care who you are or who you are related to, unfortunately once they are brought into the station they are told don't you know who that is? It really shouldn't matter who you are if you break the law you should be punished, instead they keep giving everyone the old slap on the wrist and they are back out the next day doing the same things they were arrested for. How is anyone supposed to learn it is not going to be tolerated if they are not punished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is making their lives such a living hell they are starting to all hate each other, is that going to be good in a crisis? Will they have each others back? I would think everone learned something from 911 - UNITY. It is much better to have guys that work together then to have guys work against each other. I hope all the officers see what is really happening, I personally think he is making your life a living hell so you will transfer to another town, this way he can get down to 30. Do the residents of this town a favor and don't give him that satisfaction, work as a team and keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
