Lieutenant James J. Laino

During February, the Sector experienced a 15% decrease in Major Crime; a 44% decrease in violent crime (9 incidents reported in 2009 compared to 5 in 2010) and a 7% decrease in property crime (30 incidents reported in 2009 compared to 28 in 2010). The 5 violent crimes reported included: 2 Aggravated Assaults and 3 robberies. Of the 5 violent incidents reported 3 have been cleared by arrest and the remaining 2 are still being investigated by detectives. The current trend in Property Crime continues to be residential burglary; there were 7 reported during February, 2 of which were domestic related and 2 occurred to the same residence.

Throughout the month of February we focused on residential burglaries in the Fulton and Church Hill neighborhoods. During this time there were no reported incidents in Church Hill and 5 incidents in Fulton, 2 of which were domestic related. During the month of March our focus remains on residential burglaries in Fulton and Union Hill; officers will conduct high visibility assignments such as walking, biking and directed patrol in those areas. If there is a burglary in your neighborhood I will notify the civic association within 2 days of the incident and ask that the information be disseminated throughout your neighborhood. We will also continue to watch for other crime trends throughout the sector and make the necessary changes to our focus.

As the warm weather approaches I would like to get a jump on addressing environmental issues within each neighborhood. As you travel throughout your neighborhood please take note and notify me of any street lights that are out, vacant properties that need to be boarded and abandoned vehicles.

Crime Trends for February:
• Church Hill – no current trend.
• Chimborazo – no current trend.
• Church Hill North – no current trend.
• Fulton – residential burglary.
• Oakwood – no current trend.
• Union Hill – no current trend.
