Serious Crime Down 50% in Annapolis

The Annapolis Police Department is reporting that serious crime in the city is down 50% in the first 5 months of 2009.  The comparison was made to the same period last year.

From January to May, the city only had one homicide.  There were six during the same period in 2008.  Serious violent crimes fell 44% and serious property crimes fell 53% in 2009.

Most of the crime last year happened around public housing.  In response, the police department hired an additional 20 officers.  They also added a night commander.

According to the Annapolis Police Department website, they are looking to hire a new officer.  The pay is $43,000 to $68,800 annually, with a 3% signing bonus.

  1. how to make money on a dk wow:

    The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

  2. farmville cash guide:

    Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

  9. windsurfing formula:

    I have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.

    What can I use in an aerogarden to replace the nutrient tablets?I have the master gardeners kit, but have now run out of nutrient tablets. Can anyone recommend what to make use of (baby bio, miracle gro etc) that will enable the plants to thrive and not damage the pumps of the aerogarden.

  20. wizard 101 cheats:

    I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

    This is a good step to save paper. And will save the rain forests in Indonesia. Moreover, this will reduce the burden on the back of elementary school students. Of course this will make the traditional printing companies and governments in the third world into a panic because of their unpreparedness of information technology. . .
