State of the Precinct: Inspector Loining summarized the EOY statistics for the Second, Auto theft was up by almost 24%! In one week alone, of 13 vehicles stolen, 12 had the keys in them. Auto theft arrests were also up, but clearly, we’re making it too easy for the thieves. A second bad spot was burglary of dwellings, which includes unlocked garages, porches, and some residences.
The Police Academy just swore in 25 new officers; the Second Precinct will welcome 4 of them.

OLD BUSINESS: The December 24 dinner went off smoothly. Although 2nd Pct staff on duty on the weekend was only 24 Officers and Sergeants, we had a soft count of almost 200 people. One of our afternoon volunteers wondered how many people couldn’t get in because of short staffing. Sgt Waletzki made a few phone calls and discovered that the emergency office in the 1st Precinct was one group that had to stay at their computers. Jesus and Aloida delivered enough food so that everyone there had a good meal. Good thinking, good outreach, and a generous spirit made the day a little brighter at the 1st. A full list of volunteers and donors was printed in The Northeaster, January 10 issue. Thanks to all those who made it happen.
