Well, Golly Gee
Everyone is jumping on the "crime is falling!" bandwagon, but nobody seems to be pointing out the biggest and most obvious factor.
The Illinois Policy website touches on it:
Violent crime in Chicago fell to more than a decade low in 2025, declining across nearly 9-in-10 neighborhoods as arrests rates continued to rise. Total crime in the city fell from 257,558 in 2024 to 235,338 in 2025, marking two consecutive years of decline, Chicago Police Department data showed. Violent crimes dropped from a peak of nearly 30,000 in 2023 to 22,760 last year – the fewest attacks reported in over a decade.
Okay....and?
- Nearly all categories of violent crime declined in 2025, with homicides, robberies and aggravated batteries falling to a decade low. Only criminal sexual assault increased, rising to a decade high. This follows a general trend seen in U.S. cities nationwide, with most cities also reporting a steep drop in homicides and other forms of violent crime compared to 2024, according to the Council on Criminal Justice.
Yes....lots of helpful charts and such at the link....but?
- As crime fell citywide, arrests rate for total and violent crime rose. The arrest rate for total crime climbed from 13.8% to 15.8%. The arrest rate for violent crime also increased to 17.9%, the highest level since the pandemic.
And there it is!
We guess, contrary to what democrats have been telling us for years, you CAN arrest your way out of a crime situation. Increased enforcement numbers, successful prosecutions AND prison time contribute mightily to falling crime rates.
That and deporting tens of thousands of ILLEGAL ALIEN criminals, too.

Chicago is a shit hole. Retire and get out!
Lot of crime goes unreported. I had four neighbors who had their garage burglarized. None reported it. I had two who had their cars burglarized, neither reported it. One had their catalytic converter taken, leaving heavy damage repairs and replacement parts. Again not reported. That is just the neighbors who let me know. I stressed to all report it. In the end no one did a report. The thought was why bother, no one was going to do anything. That is what happened last time something happened. It is frustrating.
This is the safest time in the U.S. in over a century. President Trump should be getting some credit here.
Guess. Preckwinkle, Fox, Raul and Pritzker were wrong?
What’s up with John Garrido and his silly dog capers? He’s on FB asking for donations to pay for brain surgery for a sick dog. This is what happens when you don’t have children to love! Seek help, you’ve gone wild
Only democrats can’t figure out why
Thank You President TRUMP!!!
Statistics and falling numbers don't mean a thing when you're getting mugged on the CTA.
Attention all American patriots and supporters of law enforcement:
A Cup Of Joe coffee shop in Garfield Ridge has made anti police statements on their business. Garfield Ridge has a lot of police officers and the entire neighborhood is very pro American, pro law enforcement and pro law and order.
Vote with your dollars.
The argument that we could not arrest and imprison our way out of the epidemic of violent crime was always a lie. Not a mistake, always a lie.
Did crime fall or just the repoting of crime?
If total crime comes down 3% and the “arrest rate” increases 3%, then the actual number of arrests did not change.
Is it a cutie doggie?
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
The guy and his employee's run hot and cold with anti police. anti ice, etc etc. He says out of one corner of his mouth he supports the police and out the other opposes. His employees are all anti law enforcement. There was a photo of one girl on fb with an anti Ice t shirt serving coffee. The Brighton Park bikers or whatever were organizing a ride to the shop to support the Anti Ice agenda.
I would sat it has been a combination of both NOT reporting crime by disillusioned victims, and the cooking of the books by the Libtard KoolAid drinking bosses with a badge.
The real reason it fell.....
Midnight Basketball.
Ding ding ding correct. With backlogs and stretched resources how many victims call but leave before police arrive hours later?
Yes, always a lie. Investigate , arrest promptly, convict and imprison quickly is the way to control crime. Only liberals think otherwise.
This was the point of Chicago’s “sanctuary city” policy when it began back in the ‘80s. Hundreds of thousands of illegals in the city (thanks to Fed policy & the biz lobby wanting cheap exploitable labor), and NONE would ever call or talk to the cops because they were afraid of getting picked up & deported.
This from the same group accused of stealing toys from Xmas donations
Those are property crimes, they’re talking about violent crimes.
How much did crime go down that is committed by illegal aliens. Government should track that.
look at all the violent crimes that go unreported in Chicago,people robbed,punched,groped,people don't report it. Hate crimes against Asians,Caucasians and Hispanics are rarely reported. Good point about the 1,000's of illegal immigrants that have been deported or left Chicago because of ICE Agents,Border Patrol Officers.
Thank you DCOs !!!
You’re delusional
Amen to that!!!
I don’t know about the entire neighborhood claim
They weren’t making any money anyway. Nobody goes there and the outside people that were there yesterday were imports from across the city just looking to bash ICE and law enforcement. They will be out of business soon, the owner is the cousin of Paul who owns Villarreal private investigator business right next door.
Wife's best friend's greyhound just died from cancer. They stopped telling me the costs at $20,000.
That skunk Kim Foxx is gone. Now we just have to get rid of Pigstersaurus and puddin head Johnson.
Reporting of crime and criminal conduct has decreased due to the malaise of local citizens knowing full well that Conehead's Administration is doing nothing about it. Additionally, police are neutered, the Crook County Courts and the Outhouse judges are paid political hacks, and the media is untrustworthy to uncover the corrupt politicians running the city. Vote NO on Judicial retention and don't subscribe and support the media.
Jamaican national living in New York arrested in connection with a scheme to steal truckloads of cargo like frozen snow crab worth $325K…https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/york-man-stole-325k-worth-160606988.html
King has 150 bodyguard detail.
Peasants have 9 to 15 beat cars on a good day to patrol an entire district. so on day shift 9 to 15 police officers. some in court, on station assignments, getting vehicle serviced , midnight shift anywhere from 18 to 30 police officers if all cars are 2 man, same for afternoon shift.
reporting
OT:
The communist State of Illinois will be trying to take away retirees right to carry a firearm. Read the article below on page 4 of the FEBRUARY 2026 Retired CPD Newsletter below.
ALSO, there is a NEW DATABASE (see below) where you can look yourself up to see if you are still certified as a law enforcement officer.
If you are de-certified, you can not carry a weapon as a retiree.
Thank Pritzker.

Even if it’s reported the ducks can do wonders to reclassify
Thanks for the info!!!
Don’t know him, but seems like a good human being thats trying to do good things for pets and people. A good question is why do u care? Just don’t donate and move on if u don’t want to.
The people were lined up on the street and down the block. Cars from all over the area were parked all over the place. Been here since 89 and the neighborhood is drastically changed. Other than Saturday when this was going on there is usually nobody going in and out that place. Hopefully will be out of business soon.
Not the dco’s in 4. They work less than 4 hours a day and their sgt is barely at work but manages to always get ot every period
Definitely. More cities should copy that strategy. A real game changer
Is he delusional? You don't think the drop in crime has anything to do with closing the borders and deporting illegal immigrants? Biden wasn't doing that.
They'll never admit it and the media will never call them on it.
How accurate is the Police Training Board site? It shows my hire date as 01/01/1901!

He’s a clown. Always with the golly gee shucks nice guy routine but in real life would stab you in the back in a minute. Why do so many people try to stay relevant in the police department when they retire??? His dog in the rediculous Sgt shirt makes me cringe. Then you have the Facebook moderators for the unofficial Facebook pages.. just complete losers who can’t let go.. especially EP the Sgt who took credit for all the work her team did.. she was terrible but they were good. Go call the news cameras again the use your team as props to build a pool in the ghetto so you can look good to try and get merit Lt.. SOOO happy you never got it. Cascone retired as a Lt….. you didn’t. Love it
So the line in front of it a day or so ago was for what exactly?
The only exercise you get is your fingers being a keyboard warrior while they are actually getting real exercise while having fun. Get off the couch you slop and stop being miserable.
The bosses who cook the books aren’t necessarily liberal-they just want it to look like crime is down so it looks like they are doing a good job. It doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with their political leanings.
Law enforcement remains both too alert and responsesive and too impeded by politicians to risk involving said politicians in anything.
Unless one's insurance requires this, no gain offsetting more problems is considered, it's spilled milk and requires not spilling more of it.

=Don’t know him, but seems like a good human being thats trying to do good things for pets and people.=
Lol. You could have stopped with "Don't know him." You clearly don't.
Giuliani proved in NYC in the 90s that society could in fact arrest their way out of crime
A lot of things also don't get reported because it is damn near impossible with 911 never sending cars because there aren't any, 311 never answering and online reporting rejecting. People just give up trying. That's how you kill crime
