Went to the FDLE web site to see the stats.

I was shocked to see that the City of Bradenton has much less crime than the City of Sarasota and they are both about 55,000.
All I read in the paper is how Bradenton is crime ridden but its really the City of Sarasota. :oops:

tommy boy lyons needs to stop writing about non sense and start writing about how bad crime is in sarasota lets inform the readers and residents imagine that tommy boy

Crime is worse in the City of Sarasota than Bradenton and sarasota is talking about cutting cops. Go figure!!

How can we lose cops when now when the City of Sarasota is worse than the City of Bradenton in crime? :(

If Newtown were to seperate from the City of Sarasota, then the City of Newtown would have the highest crime rate in the USA!!!! All the crime is in the City of Newtown!!!! :shock:

I know we say that but a lot is going on elsewhere.

the city of sarasota mayor is from newtown

Don't need more--
according to the justice department and the Chiefs assn we have too many officers for a city of 55,000 people budget cut time

IACP recommends 2.2 officers per 3000 citizens and SPD has (last count) 3.6 officers per 3000 citizens. :shock:

You mean per 2.2 per 1,000 people

You're right. My mistake. The IACP recommends 2.2 officers for every 1000 citizens.
