Comments on: Crime Declining in City, But Accidents Increasing http://fallschurchtimes.com/19043/crime-declining-in-city-but-accidents-increasing/ Falls Church City's Online Community Newspaper Tue, 22 May 2012 22:28:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Carter Jones http://fallschurchtimes.com/19043/crime-declining-in-city-but-accidents-increasing/comment-page-1/#comment-9391 Carter Jones Fri, 02 Apr 2010 21:26:16 +0000 http://fallschurchtimes.com/?p=19043#comment-9391 I agree that reports are not written for many incidents that occur. My family called the police and the officer who responded did not even give his name and no report was written. That would certainly mean that the stats mean absolutely nothing.

The Chief of Police does not have any idea what his officers are doing on a daily basis and the parking enforcement officer doesn't write all the tickets that he could. It is time for the Chief to retire - he has been there entirely too long and has a long memory for slights he suffered in the past. Bring in someone from the outside with no agenda. I agree with SLH.

I think this report is completely false and misleading. How many cars were broken into last year? How many stolen? How many homes broken into? Those crimes have certainly gone up, and just because the police don't followup, doesn't mean it doesn't happen/ Ask anyone who has lived here for more than 10 years.. *I don’t believe at all that crime has gone down….I believe the police don’t write all the reports they should and certainly don’t arrest nearly as many as they should or could.

It's still a mighty quiet little town. 29K calls/year equals 3.3 calls/hour and only one written report every 3 or 4 hours. It’s still a mighty quiet little town.

Bet that will play havoc with the stats. We started 2010 with a bang…4 cars stolen. Bet that will play havoc with the stats.
