[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The DC shot spotter program can be used to find shots fired near schools. I tried but couldn’t figure out how to get that data. I’ve seen a few articles from previous years using the data. It’d be interesting to see current data.

Keep making incidents public. Share them with Popville noting how close to the school they are. He will usually share it—there just aren’t as many people reporting from EOTR neighborhoods so all you see are the Ward 1 shootings.

One honest question that I really don’t believe there’s a good answer to, but would police presence around the school be a positive or negative? Seems like it would be a deterrent to some, antagonistic to others, and give the impression to kids that schools aren’t safe. An oversimplification of very complex issues, but would love to hear more opinions on this. [/quote]

This has become a norm. What’s the point of speaking up, when know the Mayor won’t acknowledge or help. They have learned to stay silent  because nothing is ever done..There  are other cities that have decreased gun violence without forcing people out of their homes.  In increase of police presence would probably be positive if it was community policing [/quote]

I dont even know who the chief of police is now. Is it Lanier? DC police seem extra low visibility these days. They also seem incapable of solving even the smallest crimes. Case in point, why did neighbors catch the Mt. Pleasant rapist hitting the SAME apartment complex for the THIRD time? No one in PD thought a stake out might be called for? Just saying yes to community policing, but the trend seems to be to be a very passive police force right now.[/quote]

I miss Cathy Lanier. [/quote]

Who IS the chief now??? I could name Ramsey and Lanier. I could also name the school superintendanta. Why are people in charge of big important city systems so low profile under Bowser?
Nuisance crime is out of control in this city. The police consider car crimes (window smashing, theft) insurances problem. They dont even have a task force. No shock that people are shooting with impunity in some neighborhoods. At some point our city needs to decide if we care about everyone NOT having a criminal record (current trend) or if we care about the majority doing the right thing? I am all for putting money into prevention, anti recidivism education while incarcerated and mental health - but we need to come down hard on crime when it does happen in our city. Ugh.[/quote]
