This Thursday Mayor Tuerk will once again attempt to minimize crime and the perception of crime. He is scheduled to be holding another press conference at the Allentown Police Academy. We have heard and seen this all before.
He has to kick into overdrive in preparation for election day.
Please attend if you want to hear Tuerk say how great Chief Roca is. Tho he isn't. Chief Roca may speak and tell you how proud he is of the men and woman of the Allentown Police Department. Tell a story about something he did.
Or Brag about something the police are going to start to do. And say its because of the officers hard work day in and out that this is possible. Same nonsense and same council persons will be there to stroke the mayor and chief's egos.
The Mayor will say there are less homicides and shootings than previous years. He probably is right. But what is the correlation between lower crime and the officers policing from the parking lots they sit in all day? Im sure DUI's are down, simply because officers aren't pulling people over. Drug and gun arrests are down because officers aren't stopping people. Dont be fooled by the numbers they present.
The drugs are still here, so are the drunk drivers and people with guns. I mean what does it matter if you have an illegal gun? You might get 30 days in jail. Kick the window out of a patrol vehicle. $150 fine.
I wrote about the reality and the preception of crime. The Mayor is only talking about the crime levels because election is next month.
Plus word is he might be getting several complaints from people on the east side over the motorcycles and dirt bikes that took over the streets this past sunday. Obviously, Apd did not have a plan to deal with that. It was a sunday, so the chiefs werent working.
Honestly, I think people are more concerned about quality of life issues than homicides, drug dealers and overdoses. What bothers you more, not being able to sleep all night from someone blasting loud music or hearing 2 shots from a homicide? The music, no brainer.
Old news but has anyone had any homeless sleeping on their property yet?

Exactly Scott.
Im so tired of hearing those 2 talk about how crime is down but cant address the dirtbikes and loud music
Yea you should look the part. Sloppy isnt considered a "part"
Let's not forget the raspy little cars and the accompanying speeding and red light/stop sign running at high speeds.
Let just say the public buys their BS. I think residents are more concerned about getting sleep than who is getting shot in center city. Of course unless you're the one with the bullet hole or stab wound.
The very annoying music is a 24/7/365 problem, period!!! The cars and motorcycles come into their own during sleeping hours. Especially annoying are the jerks that wait till they're in the middle of the block, drop it into neutral and blip the throttle, causing multiple backfires. You can hear them coming and going for blocks as they rise and repeat. As someone who has been sick for over four years and needing tons of sleep, it sux getting a rude awakening several times an hour!!! Where are the police when you need them??? The police surely noticed... from blocks away...
Question: why did all of the talk about the drugs, rapes, thefts, trafficking, and corruption at the hands of Allentown police suddenly die down? A lot of bad shit was claimed to have been happening in Allentown, including at the direction of the mayor in City Hall, and now it is quiet. Rather suspicious to me. Could it all be bullshit from the start? Seems the city administration keeps proving the claims are false and the few people who started the disruption with these claims are now silent because they were proven wrong time and time again.
As a city employee personally affected the answer is clear. The Mayor paid the outside Investigator to be quiet and go away. We have our own paid Investigator. They work for us!
You mean they run interference for the city. Keep it quiet... don't tell... secret... ad nauseam.

White people your time here is up. Bikes aren't the problem, our speakers aren't the problem, YOU ARE
.35% decrease, is such a joke. Who really cares? Funny the 35% reduction in auto thefts. Good time of year to report that. Im sure auto thefts go way up once its colder, because people start their cars to warm them up and go back inside. Or they let them run while inside Wawa and they get taken. That number will go up before the end of year guaranteed. Nice being slick to announce now.
