8 thoughts on “IMPD says curfews helped curb youth violence, but it hasn’t been tracking violations

  1. Curfew violations are not the only infractions the IMPD doesn’t track.

    It also fails to log traffic violations and ticks issue. Years ago these were tracked, and the department issued annual statistical reports of not only the number of violations, but the types of violations (red light running, speeding, illegal lane usage, DUIs, etc.). The stats were available online for all to see.

    All of this begs the questions: how can the IMPD say there is less of something if it can’t quantify it?

    One would think the city-county council would want the data as an aid to developing public policy. Or perhaps it does have such data, but does not think it should be shared with the citizenry.

    This needs to change.

    1. Brent, how many muscles did you pull trying to spin this into IMPD’s fault?
      Since you are a numbers guy, I assume you know IMPD is at about 75% staff. Most people don’t know that because the “journalists” suppress the story to protect their own. Maybe you and the IBJ employees can do some pro bono work for IMPD to produce the reports you want.

    2. That which is not tracked cannot be criticized. Bury it in case Joe runs for term 4..

  2. Another example of the boobs running the city. What good is a curfew if you don’t enforce it? Just the Dem’s pandering to the minorities in the city.

    1. Joe has been busy overseeing his misogynistic staff (successfully buried that story, right IBJ?) but he did hire a new violence czar (on your dime) so most of these problems should be cleared up shortly.

    2. When the Violence Czar runs for public office they’ll say they never were the Czar.

  3. I remember Peterson and Ballard both faced hurdles at getting at enforcing curfew, either logistically or courts would strike it down as not recognizing enough for 1A.

    For a long time I just thought there effectively was no curfew, and am surprised this is what they’ve chosen to focus on.
