Crime Reports

The Dartmouth Police department has begun using computerized tracking of crime to enable them to better allocate resources. The public can view a part of the data on a website called Crime Reports. That site can be accessed by clicking on the preceding link or go to the Dartmouth Police website, click on Forms & Reports on the menu at the top and click on Crime Reports in the pull down list.
The department has also partnered with the Plymouth County Sheriff and some 40 other cities and towns to implement an emergency notification system called The Communicator. The system allows the police and fire districts to call every phone in an area with emergency information. Cell phone users can sign up for the service as well. Land phones are automatically included. Cell users must sign up.

What do you think about that?

How about talking about the REAL CRIME in town? In a recent ST reader survey posted by Curt Brown, 65% of those that responded felt that the new Town Administrator Cressman has FAILED in his first year on the job. This is the same person that too many of this select board want to give complete control of the town business to? Listen to the people, or the people will no longer listen to you.
