Crime is down, but this reporter left out an important factor.
"The question I consistently get asked in a very difficult environment where the economy’s changing is why are you seeing crime go down not only in the city of San Diego, but you’re seeing it go down across the country? said Lansdowne. I think its because of several reasons. One is that we police differently than ever before. We use a concept of intelligence-led policing.
The drop in crime is all the more remarkable because the police have recently faced budget cuts. When the department recently disbanded the mounted horse, canine and boat units, officers were reassigned to patrol duty.
So were actually beefing up our patrol staffing, which is something that’s really important to us, said Ramirez."
Newspaper have run stories that because the election of Barack Obama, guns are selling out and ammunition is hard to find.
Is it possible that crime is down because the people are better armed?
Someone once said, "When seconds count, the police are only minutes away".
