CompStat Takes Another Beating
- The Los Angeles Police Department misclassified an estimated 14,000 serious assaults as minor offenses in a recent eight-year period, artificially lowering the city's crime levels, a Times analysis found.
With the incidents counted correctly, violent crime in the city was 7% higher than the LAPD reported in the period from 2005 to fall 2012, and the number of serious assaults was 16% higher, the analysis found.
When presented with the findings, top LAPD officials acknowledged the department makes errors and said they were working to improve the accuracy of crime data reporting.
"We know this can have a corrosive effect on the public's trust of our reporting," said Asst. Chief Michel Moore, who oversees the LAPD's system for tracking crime. "That's why we are committed to ... eliminating as much of the error as possible."
7% and 16% "errors" aren't actually errors, even in the broadest sense of statistical reporting - it's willful misconduct, dishonest, and should be criminal to mislead to this extent.
And get this - even the corrected numbers show that crime was dropping anyway - just not dropping fast enough for the politicians and brass who needed it to drop faster, probably to justify spending, salaries, contracts and all sorts of crap.
And this part sounds so very familiar, too:

And this part sounds so very familiar, too:
- The efforts to improve data accuracy within the LAPD have unfolded amid a sharp rise in the city's violent crime over the last year. Moore and other police officials have said that some of the increase may be due to more accurate reporting, but that much of it reflects an actual increase in crime.
For example, homicides and shootings — categories less susceptible to classification errors — are both up by double digits this year.
The similarities are amazing. And we imagine the corrections in Chicago when someone with the authority actually goes through the mish-mash reporting here will be equally amazing, if not more.

The problem is no one calls out the cpd for their bullshit lies about crime stats. So all the bullshit goes on and has been going on for yrs.
A recent beat meeting had "theft from building" listed as one of the top crimes on the beat. Obviously the beat cops were classifying the cases as "burglaries" but someone decided to downgrade it to the nicer sounding "theft from building." Downgrading of crime statistics couldn't be clearer in the Chicago police department.
Don't know why but we thought of that goofy BP tv commercial
where the girl presents her friends with a gallon of free gas "because
you're my best friend!"
>🎶 Music 🎶<
"We've been giving you these jiggered, juked, buggered and bojanked
crime stats while lying through our stinking dentures about having sufficient
Police manpower because we thought you'd be too fucking stupid to catch on."
>🎶 GRUNT! 🎶<
Rahm and McTotally-Out-Of-Ideas
are laughing up their sleeves as
you upright tax paying suckers
are left scraping your shoes in
disgust...
"WTF IS THIS BULLSHIT?
>Kick! Scrape!<
GYAAAHHH!"
It's all by design.
"Crime is down."
Letting The Police
wither away by cutting
budgeted slots and through attrition.
Done over several years and that equals
Billions of dollars intentionally diverted from public safety
to mayoral breads, circuses and diversion.
Bribes to street gangs for inducement to "take it to the alley"
instead of letting The Police tear the ass out of their saggy britches.
Building a new college across the street from the original which isn't
even 50 years old yet while so many work sites for Policemen are known
and notorious cancer and upper respiratory ailment clusters.
Fifty-foot clowns and lighting cityscape mock-up in celebration of lives lost.
Et Cetera.
Ad Nauseum.
Et Ad Infinitum.
How much more can there be!
Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics.
Rahm wants to be lied to. He wants to hear things are getting better, even if they are not. Maybe even, Especially if they are not getting better.
Rahm hired Garry. Garry does want Rahm wants because Garry likes his job. Garry appointed most of the CPD commanders. They like being in command, and they are going to do everything they can to stay in command. Misfile a few reports, ask the boys and girls to reclassify a few crimes, drag out a few death investigations, whatever it takes. Does it really make a difference to them?
Thanks Gary!
For further eviscerating this once fine police department to the very core. All the comp stat bullshit will come crashing down like a house of cards!!! Who will be left holding the bag? I truly hope Feds and God catch up with you. "Some days you eat the dog. One day the dog will eat you" as a great home room instructor used to say.
Police Departments have become Liars and distorters of the Truth, just like Politicians. Woe Be Unto Them. God is Not Mocked. Ye shalt Reap what Ye Soweth.
lier lier pants on fire
The goal of all these Compstat lies is not to justify spending.
Just the opposite. These urban pols need to say "crime is down" in order to cut police spending.
That money is put to better political use elsewhere. Either spent on contracts for financial supporters or buying votes from the urban underclass.
Is lying on official police reports a Rule Reg violation? Can't remember....
They don't make enough red pencils to correct Chicago mistakes.
How much crime goes unreported due to slow or no police response? Ever try callback? Or try to do a report at the station? Callback phone just rings and rings, rude station officers blow you off or send you to another station. So how many just say forget it?
Talk about fuzzy math, Best rumor of the week. There will be a class of 13 merit sergeants all by themselves starting next Monday.
Don "Elmer Fudd" ONeill and his loyal sidekick Sgt YT the OCD legend in her own mind think they can twist the Shakman language to let them sneak in 13 OCD cronies of the right demographic and no one will complain because they'll just say they were merit from the last class. In there mind 100% and 30% are the same thing if it's their people getting promoted. Just a rumor folks. nothing to see here. I bet the class won't happen next Monday. Bring back Tracey Ladner!
Shootings? You mean Criminal damage to property! If i shoot at you and miss it hits a car it is criminal damage to property??? So many officer actually believe this now.
everyone forgot that the crime starts with the actually firing of a weapon in the city limits. Don't worry Garry will promote you to sergeant and put you in a unit.
Facts matter little. Appearance is paramount and the ends justify the means.
Life in a progressive utopia is safe and good.
So THEY win both ways. When they BS the numbers down, they are doing a great job. When they fix the numbers. oh well, that's why crime is going up. Because we are fixing that glitch.
Unbelievable the citizenry is not at City Hall with pitchforks and torches.
OT but l thought white privilege allowed me to fight/disarm cops. Now that can get me killed?? Where is the Congressional White Caucus on this?

While reading, i began to wonder why LAPD would buy into ComCrap. Then i remembered that Bill Bratton of NYPD fame also served in LA. That means that the Big 3 in municipal policing have been sold a a crock of ComCrap. Maybe ComCrap can track #blm and the spike in crime whenever Fal Al or JJsr pop up. Looks like these pooches have a limited time to cash in before the voting public tosses YoMama & the succeeding demorats on their ass.
Too bad NOBODY is held accountable here or in LA, these aldermen are a bunch of bobble head tools.
You know for certain crime is high when some dude sticks a gun in your face and demands your money.
MERIT sgt YT was useless in 007 as a sgt. had a useless team that did "missions" on cta. that team only existed while she was there b/c she was too good, or too stupid, for regular patrol duties. now shes trying to make her "people" merit? wow, what a vicious cycle.

And when the Alderpersons question the mayor about such things, he tell them to sit down and shut the f*** up. Of course they immediately sit down and shut up, afraid to anger their boss. Nothing but 50 cowards who are terrified of the little fella!
No one could be that dumb, not even the HR Double Dipper Director would try to sneak in 13 merit hack promotions and think the charade would go unnoticed. Geez, stealing the next 13 rank order promotions, no way, I call bullshit !
Just a mistake?
Ha! We are to believe that all these college grads don't know how to make a report? Don't now how to count. Add.
