Crime must be really be down in Salisbury.  It seems there has only been one burglary and several shoplifting arrests in the town in 3 weeks.

This is the problem when you reduce your staff down, I am sure Scott is backed up with cases and has no time to write up PR. Getting someone else qualified to do it would mean more $$ for staffing.

Which do you want?

I guess they didn't see the report that puts Salisbury as #39 on the list of most dangerous places in the U.S.

1235-It's not the college kids committing the majority of crimes. It's the low-life residents.

This report is BS. We have been busy going from one "call for service" to antother, non stop. I do not know where our so called leadership gets these numbers from, but it sure as hell is not from us who work the streets. Myself along with 4/5 other police officers are actively looking for different departments to work for. Simply put, like so many before us we are going to leave for better pay, better working hours and conditions and of course less work load.


Wake up SPD

This press release for shoplifters is a tactic apparently, because when I worked the road 20 years ago with SPD, we used to get 5-10 a day from Boscov's, Sears and Walmart alone. They must be trying to intimidate the would be thieves from coming to Salisbury.

Who chooses what to put in the press release??

Jim Ireton dressed in his police hat and leather chaps must have scared them crooks straight with his baton!

So wait, a store ups its security measures and catches shoplifters, cops arrest them, and that means crime in salisbury? Every store in America falls victim to shoplifting and theft. Not "buying" this one Joe!

603, Heroin is all over the place in this town. The cops are working their arses off busting this up, shootings, beatings, you think there's no domestics happening 5 times a night? REALLY?

I'm not a cop, but I've read enough crime reports to see there's a LOT missing from this list!

I think it's Joe's thoughts and articles showing that all the $ going to the Fire Dept, and NONE to pay cops for all their calls they have to cover is behind these bogus reports.

I know they have been to my neighbors on E Church St SEVERAL times and it wasn't for shoplifting. Such a pitiful scam. I am so sick of the dishonesty.

Hmmm... I just got this report off the internet from another site. Someone is lying and Jim Ireton is trying to make it look like the only crime in Salisbury is shop lifting.

Amen Anon 9:43
Thank you

Like I said before we are busy as hell and seems the only way to fix our situation is to remove ourselves from the problem and get employed with another agency. Sorry to all my friends at SPD, but this place is a pit.

Good Luck

They really should just tell the truth. No one knows what they are up against if they just portray that shoplifting is the big problem here.

They should be notifying all that heroin is out of control. It's not low life's using it, but middle and upper class as well. It's come in and grabbed all the addicts up like the flu.

All the kids are flocking to it like it's weed. It's cheaper than weed. We have an giant deadly mess on our hands and there really isn't a whole hell of a lot we can do about it. Sad.
