To Serve & Protect & to Manipulate Statistics
Re: Manipulation of Crime Stats by Providence Department
How disgraceful that the residents of Providence can not even trust the Chief of Police!
Crime stats are an important indicator of how the police are doing in their job to serve and protect.
If the rank and file of the police department do not trust the police command how can the citizens trust the police?
Do our District 8 Police worry about how to report criminal incidents?
Do our District 8 Police feel pressure from the brass to "fudge" the reports?
I remember reading somewhere in reference to the Police Department that "A fish rots from the head down" is that still the problem with our police department?
Thank you,
