Bay Ridge – Grand Larceny is Up 100%
A lot of people read the NYPD Comstat totals and interpret them fast without looking at the crimes or comparing the crimes to last year.
If you look at the totals for the week shown about, it shows 12 crimes for this week in 2021 and 20 incidents for that week in 2020. Next to that it says crime is 40% down.
Some people will read that and say, “CRIME IS DOWN.”
Read a little more on the chart.
For the last 28 days this year – there was a total of 56 crimes in the 68th Precinct. Last year during this time there was a total of 57 crimes in the 68th Precinct. Crime is at the same level. (Pro Tip: You can’t say crime is down, if you didn’t admit when crime went up.)
Now look next to Grand Larceny for the last 28 days – so far there – 30 this year. Last year it was half that – 15. Double the amount!
What is considered grand larceny?
Where are these incidents happening?
When are these incidents are happening? Mostly during the weekdays – Monday to Thursday when thieves know less people are around.
What time of the day are these incidents happening? Mostly in the afternoon 1 pm – 3 pm and early evening 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm.
For our area, there are a lot of people not reporting incidents.
Sometimes residents have been told that they can’t report an incident. Are the statistics accurate if people aren’t allowed to make a report?
Vote out anyone defunding the police.
