Just saw a piece on the CTV news featuring our alderman Lee Atkinson telling how crime in P.A. is up 51% and how many times Mr. Atkinson himself has been the victim of crime. I have the utmost respect for Mr. Atkinson, but if he is unable to get results from our city police, it leaves little hope for the rest of us. I'm posting this in the hopes that our local police can evolve from a call & respond police service to one that actively patrols in problem areas, such as midtown. After all, isn't that the purpose of SeeClickFix? To alert city officials to serious problems in the hope that they can resolve them? Lets see if we can get our police to increase their visibility in our high crime areas, because if they can't...what good are they?

MIght want to check those stats a little bit. The 2010 year end stats are posted on the police website at: http://www.papolice.ca/papolice/Statistics.aspx
Midtown is zone 8 I believe. I don't see 51% in there, I see 6.1% in Zone 8.

They know who they are, and there's nothing they can do, blame our justice system which ALLOWS criminals to be criminals. The government is enabling these people. There is no incentive to stay out of jail.
But an increased police presence in the residential areas would probably help.
