First Precinct – Sector 111
Community Report
December 2009

I would like to start by thanking the officers and detectives that are assigned to the sector and the citizens who reside and work within the Sector for an exceptional December and 4th Quarter. During the last three months of the year, Sector 111 had the largest crime reduction in the City; a 29% reduction in Major Crime (a 13% reduction in violent crime and a 31% reduction in property crime). This was the second year we experienced a crime reduction in the 4th quarter; in 2008 there was a 10% reduction. This was made possible by the collaborative effort between the police and the community. The officers and detectives focused on specific crimes in target areas while the citizens were kept abreast of crime trends and provided assistance in solving problems. I look forward to building upon the present relationships with the citizens, businesses and civic associations in the New Year.

During the month of December, the Sector experienced a 51% decrease in Major Crime; a 42% decrease in violent crime (12 incidents reported in 2008 compared to 7 in 2009) and a 53% decrease in property crime (64 incidents reported in 2008 compared to 30 in 2009). The 7 violent crimes reported included: 1 Aggravated Assault (Domestic related) and 6 robberies. Of the 7 violent incidents reported, 1 of them has been cleared, a warrant obtained in another and the remaining 5 are still being investigated by detectives. There is no current trend in Property Crime; however we still experienced 6 residential burglaries and 9 thefts related to motor vehicles throughout the sector.

During the month of January we are going to continue to focus on robberies in the Fulton and Church Hill North neighborhoods, officers will be walking, biking and on directed patrol assignments in those areas. We will also continue to watch for trends in burglaries and thefts related to motor vehicles in other neighborhoods.

Crime Trends for September:
• Church Hill – no current trend.
• Chimborazo – no current trend.
• Church Hill North – robbery.
• Fulton – residential burglary.
• Oakwood – no current trend.
• Union Hill – no current trend.

Sincerely,
Lt. James Laino
