What's Going On?

Shootings?  Cars Burning?

Do your wonder why the news either does not report what's going on in Mt.Hope or buries it at the bottom of another story.  I sure do.

Why do incidents go uninvestigated?  Who do you ask?

One place to start the Providence Police Department: 

You could call our District 8 Commander, and ask about the incident: the number is on the City/Police website: Phone: 243-6980  Fax: 243-6983   or you could contact him by email dschiavuilli@providenceri.com

The Providence Police Department is known to be unusually receptive and helpful to Providence residents, but do not be surprised if any police representative begins to site chapter and verse about how the crime stats are down across the board in Providence and especially in Mt. Hope.  Then ask if a Police Incident Report was generated for the car burning on Tecumseh.  Chances are you will be told to contact the Fire Department Arson Investigation Unit.  How can crime stats not be down if incidents go unreported or mis-classified? 

Just remember that that chapter and verse about crime stats comes down from above, much as the proverbial shite rolls down hill, and the proverbial fish rots from the head down.

The Providence Police Department is obsessed with manipulating the crime stats in order to convince the populace that everything is A-OK and that the Chief deserves another overpaid contract before he moves on to another lucrative position based on his resume padding in Providence.  No insult intended.

And what about the Chief's personal enabler on this matter, our overly ambitious Mayor?
