Accomplishment #5
We initiated localized Intelligence-Led Policing
as an enhancement to Community Policing.
It may come as no great surprise that most crime is committed by repeat
criminals. It’s more effective to focus
on these 10%’ers than all criminals equally.
Besides fielding up-to-date crime analysis to the front line
(still a work in progress), we work with the Prosecutor, Jail, and Probation
& Parole to have a unified and integrated approach for dealing effectively
with the repeat criminals.
By the way, incarceration is at an all-time high and crime is near
a multi-decade low. I would expect we
could fine-tune this equation by refocusing incarceration on repeats, which may
lower incarceration rates while still keeping the problem children behind bars.
