crimes of opportunity seem to be the biggest crime margin. Which then leads to the other crimes.
Opportunity crimes are, leaving your car door unlocked and valuables inside or worse yet a firearm. Then there is people that leave their house keys in the car. Next thing they are inside the house when they think you gone. Then medications. Then if the car has keys an will crank up, GUESS WHAT THEY NOW HAVE, a moving platform to do more crime.

All that because people do do the simple task of LOCKING YOUR CAR…
Yes in a perfect world we could leave money on the lawn and it will be there till you get it up. But we dont.

Crime rate statistics are similar to hurricane season statistics.

It’s not that bad of a season, unless you were the one who got hit.

Yeah, rates are down because the officers don’t make reports of the crimes. No report – no statistic. Makes the sheriff’s office look good. But this old woman knows that the statistic don’t reveal reality. She knows cause after living in this county for over fifty years, crime has come to her neighborhood-to her street.

The numbers are down, the numbers are down! Eyes rolling. Every six months this is the same old broken record playing. Like yeah, everyone feels safer already, and soon we won’t need police, courts, or jails either. NOT – lol!

So here’s the reality check. 67.5% of crimes in this article were not closed in Escambia County in 2019. That is of 11,580 “reported” crimes from these numbers, less than one third, 3,763, were cleared. This leaves 7,817 crimes in limbo.

Now for 2018’s numbers: 31.9% of crimes cleared. That is 3,812 crimes cleared, which are some 50 more crimes cleared than in 2019. But keep telling yourself crime is down and you’ll feel better.

Whew. Can sleep well tonight, knowing that I’m twice as likely to be murdered, and 58% chance nobody will find out who dunnit. At least nobody will vandalize my property when I’m gone.
