[quote=Anonymous]I live in east county and I've seen more police out in the past couple of years, thankfully.

I think it's a combination of things:

Residents who never seem to bother to lock their cars, doors, or windows. Our neighbors are like this and I just don't get it, but I moved from an area with higher crime than MoCo.

I do think MoCo has allowed retail property owners to get away with a lot, especially east of Georgia. I'm not talking about the actual small business owners, but the owners of the strip malls and such who take the profits but don't hardly invest anything in the property. I'm looking at you, owners of Glenmont shopping center. The MoCo police have been making some high profile busts there, there are some decent retailers, but the actual strip mall itself is beaten to death, has a huge unused parking lot, and lots of spaces people up to no good can hang out 24/7.

The MoCo police have done a good job of cracking down on crime in some local lower income apartments, and in the Glenmont shopping center parking lot.

Think there are too many kids running wild after dark, whose parents are at work or who don't care, and too many people who think it's easy pickings in MoCo. [/quote]
