2211 Activity

We've been on vacation and it was a good time with family. Sorry for the lack of posts.

Anyway, we recently had an opportunity to review the activity generated on 2211's beat and we have been shocked and happily surprised. It has always been said on this blog that we want quality police service, not quantity. It looks as if with quality, we get some quantity. The arrest totals on the beat have gone up. And there have been some pretty good arrests. Don't know if this blog has had anything to do with stepped up patrols or aggressive policing, but it is a welcomed sight.

However, we still see quite regularly 2211 being dispatched east and also detailed. It is horrible that we have to watch our car go east for anything but assists for other officers, but it is still happening. There is a police shortage, but there is not a shortage of tax paying/voting residents in Mt. Greenwood. Remember these police shortages when you vote. KEEP 2211 WEST!!!

How many jobs on 2211 get coded out by a sergeant or detective unit? Especially on the first watch.

Attempted armed robbery on Friday, July 30th at 10547 S. Artesian at approximately 1:45 a.m. Young man was walking back from the bars and was approached by two black males, one from behind and one in front. Black males pointed a gun at him and demanded he turn over everything he had, to which the young man replied he did not have anything. Offenders became quite angry and began running off, while SHOOTING their gun in the direction of the victim. A neighbor's car windows were shot out in the process. Victim chased the offenders to their getaway car around in the alley and got a plate number. Getaway car came back stolen. No arrests made.

Anyone know if there's any truth to what shaved posted monday about some guys leaving the western bars getting shot at?? No one that works at the bars seems to know anything and he didn't post a date and time this supposedly happened

Don't worry, the 1st watch 2211 camera car knows where the tax payers live. He's going crazy writing BS parking tickets all over the neighborhood.
