Cops myths #3

Do crimes in the projects [or low income areas] get as many resources allocated towards solving it as crimes in more affluent areas of a city?6ACE68E6-AD5B-43EC-9FA8-225A2764FA75.jpeg

Absolutely yes! It is extremely disheartening to hear political “leaders” suggest that police departments do not take crimes seriously, simply based on the location of the crime. This claim is most often done for personal and political gain. Even more disheartening is that the public, with the assistance of the media, believes this falsehood. Police officers don’t get to choose which crimes to investigate, and which crimes we can file as “unsolved.” In all honesty, it is our goal to solve any crime placed in front of us. If I can link in an earlier question, solving crimes is more of a gauge of an officer’s productivity and ability than the number of citation he or she issues.
