A message from Inspector Schafer
All,
Thank you for another great week of hard work and focused enforcement in the First Precinct. We saw a 37% reduction in Part I Crime and almost a 19% reduction in Violent Crime. There are so many significant decreases this week that I am going to only note a few:
• Robbery down 33% - (6)
• Theft down 36% (28) seven of which resulted in an arrest
• Theft from Motor Vehicle was down 80% (3) YES THAT IS 3 INCIDENTS FOR THE ENTIRE PRECINCT; none of which were in the DID
• There were 95 arrests and 150 pro-active stops along the Nicollet Corridor
I could go on and on about the fabulous work going on right now. Your constant presence along the Mall is noticed and making an impact. We will stay the course throughout the summer and WILL move the needle on crime and public safety perception. On another note, I had the opportunity to work with Beat Officer Mercill on the T-3 scooters this past Tuesday. We stopped a number of people on the Mall, made a few arrests, and even had our pictures taken by a number of new visitors to downtown. Thank you to the community for partnering with us to bring about an impressive reduction in crime. I recognize there will be challenges, however I will do my best to help in any way I can.
Keep up the good work!
Respectfully,
See it, Own it, Solve it, Do it!
