Dear Alumni Members,
Here are some of the major statistics from January 1, 2024 to date for the 1st Precinct which held its community meeting on October 1, 2024:
2,300 arrests;
4,500 car crashes;
107 overdoses, 26 fatal; and
22,000 tickets issued.
Inspector Brendan Forte, the 1st Precinct Commanding Officer, made remarks and introduced the speakers.
Detective Lieutenant Shaun Spillane discussed the increase in catalytic converter thefts from older model Hondas, Toyotas, and commercial trucks. The criminals are mostly from New York City.
Sergeant Kelly Hartill then spoke of domestic violence which is about power and control. She said it takes about seven incidents before most victims would try to get help.
The next community meeting will be November 7, 2024. The place and time has not yet been announced. All residents are welcome.
Respectfully,
Justin Cooper
1st Precinct Coordinator
