3rd Precinct Crime Statistics for the week ending 08/17/2008
The good news is that overall crime in the Ironbound is down 15% from last year. However, three types of crime are up… way up. Robberies, aggravated assaults, and burglaries are up between 20%-35%. Please be aware of your surroundings at all times (day and night) and make sure to report suspicious activity and any crime.
Let’s help keep Newark safe. If we don’t report crime than we will lose out on police presence.
UPDATE: We were mentioned by the Star-Ledger but we really owe it to Detective Jim Bircsak for keeping the Newark Police Department’s website updated.

When will you update this site, the stats are from 2008.
I wish to applaud the latest efforts by Newark city govt to destroy any kind of communiocation with its citizens. I tried to fill out and mail a Civilian Complaint Form but you give no address where to mail it. Congratulations. Plus the Newark Govt website does not allow anyone to make any sort of comment to his fellow citizens about how rotten the police are, and incompetent the sanitation dept is, and how the bus drivers are and how terrible city services are. You have effectively cut off any possibility for transparency in my govt. Good job. Keeping the rotten status quo in place, and showing utter contempt for citizens.
