There's no mystery to crime figures or even offense addresses. All is available to the public. With the exception of the Mayor and CCM's offices, no one on the list has called me or my office directly for information. Call me at 612-673-3587. Or use the city's web site. Here is the link to MPLS crime statistics <http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/police/crime-statistics/>. It is a web site which posts crime figures for each month and also has neighborhood statistics. It's not as timely as the information that is available to police managers, they need it to make tactical decisions, but it is one source to measure the amount of reported crime within your area of concern. The public library, FBI, and BCA also have copies. You need only ask. <snip>

Gregory, keep it up!  I really appreciate information coming from someone in the Police Department explaining a lot of what's going on in there.  Since you've stepped up, there's bound to be many a List member who want you to solve every police problem, and many who will attack you just because you're a cop.  Please don't leave the List even when you're being jumped.  Many of us appreciate your presence, even if we are not always posting on here to tell you so.  We really need more information coming from Public Safety.  My only objection to the recent Olson regime was the lack of communication coming from his Department.  I presume you aren't an official voice of the Department, but it is still a great improvement over the previous state.
