The News Herald actually had some news on Lincoln Park in the Off The Blotter section. This is the section which lists some of the crime in the area.

I will post the items they had.

A few members on these forums stated they feel it makes the city look bad when such items are in the newspaper. But I suggest you take a look at the first item. It discusses an arrest made of three people who were suspected of being behind a rash of break-ins.

I ask you. How can you be aware of break-ins in your neighborhood if the police do not pass along this information? I do not care if it makes the city look bad, I would like to know of problems in my neighborhood.

Come on Magoo, show me a post where I said crime does not happen in LP. I agree that petty theft such as those listed above should appear in the NH, just as the bigger crimes like huge Cocaine labs in Riverview should.

jeyhey you are always claiming that crime is WAY DOWN in Lincoln Park. We know crime is up. At least those who keep their eyes open.

Are you claiming you never wrote that posting crime news in the papers give a bad perception of the city to outsiders and should not be posted? An honest answer please.

No, I am saying that I never said there was no crime in LP.

I also claimed that violent crime was down. This is proved in the a Detroit Free Press article last week.

I have mixed feelings about reports in the NH. Obviously the chief of police agrees with me. Kinda like the fire chief agrees with you about candles in the home.

REPORTED violent crime is down my friend. I believe LP is becoming another Detroit. People are so used to the crime that they are no longer reporting it.

Remember the thread about a person trying to report a crime and getting the run around? That is my REPORTED crime is down. If you call the police to say you were mugged and told it is shift change so you have to call back, most people don't bother.

I think we should be aware of the crime that is happening in our city. It will help us to keep our eyes and ears open to what is going on around us.
