GOOD NEWS, ANOTHER INDICATOR DOWN

The crime rate in Suffolk is down about nine percent and the credit goes to what or whom? The NAACP realized their responsibility a few months ago. The new NAACP officers are younger and surely will follow through. We have added new police officers under the guidance of an experienced new tough police chief. Older cops are capitalizing on what they know about the population hopeful the courts will back their efforts to correct a longstanding problem. The local gangs know the focus is on them, that Suffolk has had enough of petty crimes and intend to keep the cleanup ball rolling. All the above are hopefully contributing to a lowered crime rate. On the other hand, and we hope not, it just might be the unusual cold weather lowering outdoor activity. Time and sensible record keeping will tell.
