The pond had 67 traffic deaths in 2021, beating the record of 59 set in 1996......

The Chief has asked the officers not to stop drivers for minor offenses.

There is no traffic division. There are on-call traffic fatality investigators.

When You Defund the Police: Homicide

 

With two shot and killed in the Alphabet District, the city has broken its record for homicides. In 2016, they city had 20 homicides. In 2019, there were 36. We are now at 71 with over two months to go. 

 

 

 

Fatals

 

I was told at coffee, and then verified the stat, the city now has 51 fatal crashes.

 

 

Predictions

 

Tonight, a fatal shooting on 60th Avenue on the east side, was the city's 67th homicide of the year.  With three more murders, the number will tie the record set in 1987.

Working out, in the gym, at the end of shift, I predicted 77 by the end of the year. Paris thought there would be 81. Saber went with 90. 

Before defunding and 170 plus nights of civil unrest, in 2019, the city had 29 homicides.

 

 

Rule: Decomposition

 

On a body call, when the deceased has decomposed for days, and the stench can be smelled a floor down, open all the windows in the apartment, grab as many fans from the property manager, to air out the space.
