Tacoma Business Council announcement.
Many of you will be pleased to learn that the Tacoma Police Department has heard our concerns about property crime and has begun a property crimes initiative.
In addition to the units that normally work on property crime matters, TPD has added an additional three detectives who will help review property crimes so as to bring heightened attention to this issue. These detectives have agreed to do this work in their overtime.
As another part of this initiative Deputy Chief Junger asked that TBC meet regularly with the Assistant Chief Floyd of the Operations Bureau to open the lines of communication. Those meetings have begun and are productive and very informative.
Contact us at info@tacomabusinesscouncil.com if you have specific questions or concerns you want TBC to mention at our next meeting with TPD and AC Floyd.
This does not address the root cause and only treats a symptom.
It addresses it. It doesn’t solve it.
The police can only do so much and that is only a part of the puzzle. Another part is the justice system which increasingly is soft of crime with little or no bail despite criminal record. No consequence equals no reduction in crime of all sorts. When are we going to hear that the courts are going to take crime seriously?
A big part of the puzzle is the judicial system, woke judges so pathetic! Give me a system of law that protects victims and the general public. The Puget Sound is pro criminal, anti business, anti citizen America is really getting scary!
Got a voice mail from county prosecutors office notifying me that the arsonist who set 2 of 6 fires on my property was being released from Western State.
Mind you, he never would have been investigated, arrested, prosecuted, or sentenced had we not done the initial heavy lifting, post fire.
We will get no restitution from Mr. Grandberry, and we were set ablaze again shortly after his release.
