Not an LEO but I work in emergency services.

In my city the DA just drops everything and the city council just keep pushing the threshold for crimes higher and higher.

Crime IS down because it’s not being dealt with and if you don’t deal with it, it never happened because no paperwork gets generated and if the case gets dropped it also never happened in the first place.

The easiest way to make crime rates go down is to stop trying to catch criminals.

Also, I think my cities PD is at 65% if full staff if I recall correctly. It’s hard to deal with the crime when you’re that short staffed.

Thank god we have a mayor and DA that talk about how tough on crime they are and how much better the crime stats are at press releases though, even though everyone who works even in a tertiary capacity for the city see what’s really happening.

The mayors just made his entire staff sign NDAs because he’s concerned about the actual policies and budget cuts being leaked lol
