Who the heck does this man think he is fooling. We dont have gang either right Mr. Mayor.

I believe his lifestyle has finally caught up with his mental health. This man is nuts!

Only after all the comments on here regarding crime, does he "come out" and try to put a spin on all this.

I bet Ireton wouldn't be walking down any street late at night in this city alone! All one has to do is just look at him and his actions.

A case study in what not to do! He is a joke and a disgrace in the community.

Crime isn't down and perception isn't up. Accurate reporting of crime is down and fraudulent numbers are up. Robberies are down because babs has a robbery reported as an assault and a theft and not a robbery. Burglaries are reported as mdop, the list goes on and on. They are not "down in there", babs doesn't want her officers on the street being proactive, she wants them in the building writing reports. She takes the proactive officers off the street and puts them behind a desk or kicks them out. Only a matter of time before the Feds take over SPD just like her former agency. The house of cards will fall and they will fall hard.

What do you expect when your chief of police is an attorney? She manipulates the data in her favor. IT'S ALL LIES. She and Ireton are perpetrating a lie.

He must lie. Who in their right mind would want to send their children to college in this town if they knew the truth.

You know Joe, why in the heck don't you do with crime stats what you've done with job number analysis?

Or is the Mayor correct?

Is crime down?

It's gonna catch up with her. I'm guessing those impromptu trips back to my vernon are to tie up loose ends.

Anonymous said...

So, nobody said anything and no facts or statistics were mentioned.

What a great "update".

It's just great out there...BANG!

Isn't it amazing how a pencil can change all kinds of figures to show what you want them too!! Ireton needs to get his head out of the sand and run the city with the right kind of pride before it is run into the ground.

Everyone please bombard WRDE with the false reporting that lireton did

Anonymous said...

It's easy to say crime is down, the Bay Bridge is for sale and I have a great building lot in the middle of Deal Island Marsh for sale...Show the numbers, the stats and most of all walk down the lower end of Smith street after dark and prove crime is down by 50%! Talk is cheap and so is that lot I have for sale...any takers?

Want more of the same - elect Fake Day as mayor!

What the heck is "my vernon", 954? You've commented on it here more than once.

Typical democrat spin. As long as it's not effecting them or rich white folks they ignore and/or make excuses.
Democrats know they have the overwhelming majority of black votes regardless that black on black crime is epidemic. They are okay until the crime starts morphing out into the white communities then they can't spin no longer.
It's no secret what generations of democratic rule has done to the inner cities. They are war zones, havens of crime and poverty.
You then have to have someone like NY's former republican Mayor Rudy Guiliani to come in and fix the mess the democrats have made.

Did they say that the COLD weather had anything to do with it? Always does, when it is this cold people always stay in and don't do the crimes. This is fact, has been that way for years and years.

Crime numbers close to the 70's, yep it was that cold in the 70's here, some record storms. Don't let this liberal chief fool you.

11:31-In an ideal world a media outlet should be able to air an interview such as the one in question & leave the rest to viewer discretion.I really like the way that WRDE puts it out there and allows us to decide.That's the way it should be,within reason of course.

Why doesn't the NAACP make a federal complaint against SPD and the MAYOR ?

Anonymous said...

This is what you get when you have a liberal mayor and a liberal police chief. Smoke and mirrors.

Where is the state investigation joe ? If the poluce chief and mayor are changing the stats .

JoeAlbero said...

8:07, I have been told that the one way Duncan and Ireton are making it look like crime is down is by asking outside agencies to investigate serious crimes. I'm told that the stats don't reflect back on Salisbury PD at that point. I was also told other agencies are doing the same. I have no clue if this is true but I'm researching it. There are crime sites outside law enforcement that pinpoint where crime happened, not what agency handled the investigation. Time and research will tell.

If the Feds report that came out lasy week doesn't match the mayors stats theres your proof No ?

Anonymous said...

Agencies only report the crimes they investigate and they are responsible for the coding regarding the nature of the crime. These are collected and sent into the DOJ as the Uniform Crime Report (UCR). It is common for manipulation to occur on these statistics when chiefs want to reduce the number of felonies they report. Baltimore City did the same trick years ago...burglaries become thefts, rapes can become assaults, robberies become thefts...in typical liberal fashion, Ireton blames the people...for being afraid! Even if this is a "perception" problem, the fault lies at the mayor's feet. Salisbury voters chose foolishly and continue to pay the price for their folly.

It really not true, although that rumor does appear to make a fair amount of sense.

Crime stats are based solely on 3 measures: 1. The actual reporting of the crime from the community (aka, calling 911 or SPD), 2. the location of the crime, and 3. The type of crime that has occurred. I've worked long enough with crime stats to know that this is uniform across the board unless you are in Georgia or Nevada.

If you want to try and find fudging, look at these 3 places.

THE MAYOR IS TO BLAME FOR THAT POLICE INCIDENT AND THE THUGS DEATH ,WHY,? BECAUSE IF THE STAS WHERE NOT FUDGED SALISBURY WOULD GET MORE MONEY TO FIGHT CRIME INSTEAD OF THE MAYOR THINKING THIS IS A GREAT GAY COLLEGE TOWN FOR THERE KIDS,

Anonymous said...

It is a shame for taxpayers to foot the bill for these two positions when they are falsifying the numbers.

I was always taught liars never win and winners don't lie. Perhaps these two need to rethink their ethics.
