Crime Statistics
* Re “Top Officials Welcome State Audit of City Crime Reports,” April 25.
As a longtime property owner in the city of San Buenaventura, I am puzzled by the space you are devoting to the issue of whether crime statistics are being accurately reported by our city’s police department.
I think that if you polled residents you would discover that most of us would rather have our limited police resources concentrated on preventing, investigating and solving significant crimes here in Ventura rather than counting beans--or stolen bicycles-- or some federal bureaucracy in Washington, D.C.
