Happy to see proactive police work communicated as “tips” for the public. I am still patiently working towards police publicity for TIPS, Trustworthy Information for Public Safety, a low-cost, low-technology method for the public that can overcome fear or shyness with a handwritten observation enclosed in a postage-paid envelope. Can be anonymous and goes right to TIPS coordinator investigation.
Last night the Citywide NRZ listened to Project Longevity representatives who have a program for meeting with group (13-18) and gang (20-28 )members and changing their individual trajectories relative to criminal behavior. 2013 homicides 11 down from 23 in 2012. Other major crime categories reported to the FBI decreases of 20% and 12%. Steady progress for this three-year initiative with two more years for grant funding. Time will tell.
