DeKalb Murder Rate And Other Crimes Drop
Crime remains one of the top complaints from residents, but the murder rate in DeKalb dropped almost 44 percent from 2008 to 2009 — the sharpest decrease in the metro region.
Crime statistics released to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution show overall crime is down 19 percent in the county. The only crime that went up is rape.
Again we ask why Bill O'Brien has not been named permanent chief of police?
Maybe there's another factor to look at. While Terrell Bolton was chief, crime was through the roof with the murder rate being at an all time high. He gets fired, and crime goes down.

Let The Games Begin
Just on the heals of the school system approving a $15,000.00 per year raise for school superintendent Crawford Lewis,the county commission had the 1st of many budget meetings
It's to early to tell what will happen, but the 1st shot fired was by Connie Stokes shooting down a proposed 11% property tax hike. Shortly after this, she seems poised to shoot down Burrell Ellis' 1% across the board raise to all who are left after job cuts and early retirements, known as "a workforce reduction". Click here for more.
Acting Chief O"Brien presented to the board the need for volunteer officers. He would like this to be in place by March of 2010, just in time to use it as another leverage to get the old timers out the door. Click here for more on volunteer police.
Today we just saw the toes being stuck in the water for temperature and lingering snapping turtles.
Stay tuned for more

Sweeping Changes.......Finally
With the commissioners finally approving the appointment of Bill O’Brien as Chief of Police, thus letting him put in place his command staff, this department’s future just got a little brighter.
This department has suffered for years because of Vernon Jones and his appointment of previous police chiefs who can only be described as inept, and one can probably been be described as criminal.
But times change and in this case things have changed for the better. Chief O’Brien has cleaned house of Terrell Bolton’s command staff, and has replaced them with qualified individuals. Did Chief O’Brien do the impossible of pleasing everyone? Of course not, like we said, that is simply impossible. But he has made very sound decisions that will lead this department into the future on a positive note.
Chief O’Brien has a very large task ahead of him and should be commended for taking on the job. We ask that you give Chief O’Brien time. It took years to get where we are now. Chief O’Brien is working under restraints. He doesn’t have the power of magic to snap his fingers to make everything perfect.
Look around at the destruction that Louis Graham and Terrell Bolton left behind. Honestly, would you really want the job?
