Commish's Crime Plan Costs 25 Cents

013008pacmanpiechart.jpg
New Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey has released his crime plan, and it's sensible-sounding, at least at first glance.

He wants more cops on the street, fewer homicides, lawful stop-and-frisk techniques in high-crime areas. He also wants to work with the community. (Here's a summary, .pdf format.) And, in case you're wondering, Segways are mentioned. Yes!

There are also charts and graphs, which you can see from my (slightly edited) copy of a pie-chart at right. If Pac-Man can just eat enough of those big pellets and chase down flashing blue homicide suspects, maybe we can have a crime reduction in this city after all.

CRIME EMERGENCY EVERYBODY PANIC

Just a few hours after taking office, Michael Nutter has already declared a crime emergency.

Metro reports Nutter's new crime emergency plan is homework for new police commish Charles Ramsey; he must draft a book report on the crime in the city and have it to Nutter by January 30. And that's about it.

I feel safer already!
