Major crimes down 19 per cent

[Lazie]

Arthur Hall, Senior Staff Reporter

A 25 per cent reduction in murder in the first 10 months of this year has helped the police to record an overall 19 per cent lowering of all major crimes.

In figures released today, the police high command reported that 952 people have been murdered across the island from January 1 to November 13.

That is 298 fewer than the number of persons murdered for the corresponding period last year.

Against that background, Deputy Commissioner of Police Glenmore Hinds said the number of cops on the streets will be increased for the Christmas period.

In the meantime, Assistant Commissioner of police, Ray Palmer, said the police are well prepared to offer adequate security for the upcoming general elections.

I recall when murder was at record levels ppl were beside themselves .... now the trend has reversed is like the light tun on .... the roach dem scatter.

White Collar criminals, Mdmex lets get the full hundred on both agencies nuh? Yes the reports are DAMNING ... after reading that 2 employees at Insport were being paid and they're not turning up for work ... I was curious why the AG didn't get the police involved .... only to get another side of the story this morning.

'Only" 952? Wow!!! 298 less?? Hmmm....so the 72 killed in Tivoli were responsible for the 19% drop or are there are other reasons? Dudus? I wonder if the 72 killed in Tivoli appears in the stats at all.

How do you prove cause and effect? Could be a mere coincidence...or an artifact.

I don't know why Lazie scraping for compliment...it is so simple:

1. The #1 Don, Drug-runner, Chainsaw specialist removed
2. 72 (or more) of his supporters neutralized and/or sterilized.
3. 'Major' crime hits an all time dip (19%)
4. Increase in White Collar crime.
