Aggravated Assaults are down YTD 21%. Weapons arrests are up
Aggravated Assaults in the Mission Area of LAPD are down 21%, which means 73
fewer victims than last year.
This year has seen 19 persons shot in gun incidents, compared to 37 last
year, a nearly 50% reduction.
While one might expect weapons-related arrests to drop as AGG assaults drop,
officers have actually made more gun arrests this year: 130 weapons
arrests this year, compared to 96 last year. Perhaps that's an
explanation for the reduction in assaults. Certainly, every weapon seized
is represents at least one potential assault not completed.
In the meantime, property crimes, especially those related to cars, are up
for the year. Lock your cars; remove all objects from the passenger
compartment. Do that, and crooks will look in other cars.
The safety of our Neighborhood is not up to the Police...IT IS OURS!
It is up to everyone that lives in our community to watch out, not only for themselves but, for their neighbors. If you see cars that are parked and not moved for more than 72 hours call 311 and report it. If you see any vandalism, PLEASE report it. If you see someone that obviously doesn't belong or is doing something they shouldn't be, PLEASE report it. Lets keep our neighborhood clean, if you see furniture being dumped, call and have it removed.
WE ARE THE EYES AND EARS FOR THE POLICE. IT IS UP TO US TO KEEP OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SAFE!!!
