Crime is down by 37.5% over the past 9 years. That is a fantastic record that we must credit to our fantastic law enforcement agencies and their fantastic leadership. Fantastic VICTORY.

I believe one of these posts sounds like a threat to and individual. Crime is not down 37.5% over the past 9 years what we have here is a chief of police called on the carpet trying to save his job.

No way is crime down in the past nine years. You used to read about some crime taking place every once in a while but in the past 9 years that has escalated to what we have now which is several crimes being reported by the media every day. This does not include those crimes that are not being reported by the media. Salina has a crime wave occurring and neither law enforcement agency is capable under the leadership we presently have to do anything about it.
