July Crime Shows Summer Rise -
Categories: District 1 criminal incidents were up in July from June. Looking at trends, June was probably the anomaly, perhaps due to the constant rain, and July more typical. We have generally seen more incidents during the summer and then a generous drop when school starts. (Reminds me: Do you know where your children are?)
Technical problems have delayed generation of this report. Download the complete report if you wish address-by-address information that includes your neighborhood. August figures should be available in just a few days.

Residents from neighborhoods all over the district regularly report their appreciation for the Neighborhood Police Officers. The budget approved Tuesday included one additional NPO. Frankly, I doubt District 1 will see much affect since our district generally has less incidents than the citywide average.
While neighborhoods note the NPO program, it is also important to recognize the other functions that provide the foundation for the success of the NPO's, such as the School Resource Officers, the patrol division, the detectives, and other divisions.
