Last week, SPD released their 2022 Year End Crime Report. This in-depth analysis was conducted by the SPD Data-Driven team and presented to the Public Safety and Human Services Committee this week. You can read the report in full via the SPD Blotter.
Overall crime: In summary, 2022 saw an overall increase in crime compared to recent years. The good news is that we saw a decline in the last quarter of 2022, dropping below the overall crime levels of the fourth quarter in 2021.

When I was about seven I should have died. But that was only the first time.
I’ve written about this before, from the perspective of the importance of gratitude but I think some specifics might help illuminate my overarching point.
We lived in a house with a basement and some cement stairs that led down to it. Along the upper edge was a brick planter box. I had been out playing and for reasons I don’t recall, took a step up and peered over the edge into the mini abyss. Just then, my younger brother Scott, still in diapers, came up behind me and pushed me. I fell headfirst to the very base of the stairs with my forehead as the point of impact. I didn’t black out, but remember it really hurting and feeling disoriented. I probably had a concussion but I’m not sure we knew about those that much in 1958. It became a big lump on my forehead and to this day I have bony protrusion there.

On 02-14-2023 at 7:25am, officers responded to the 7700 block of 24 Av SW.
The victim, a construction site worker, stated that a subject had entered the fenced worksite. The victim contacted the subject and asked if they needed something,
The subject did not respond, therefore the victim told the subject that they needed to leave the site. The subject then pulled out a gun and asked the victim if they were scared. The victim walked away and called 911. The subject was last seen northbound on 24 Av Sw. Officers did an area check and set up containment.
A K9 unit responded but a track was negative.
Guardian One was not available. There were two schools in the area, and they were advised to shelter in place during the incident. The subject remains at large.
