And while murders make the nightly news, we also report regularly on the seizures of drugs, guns, and ammunition that the cops make while doing good police work.
This afternoon, the Commissioner gave us the running tally of illegal items that they have gotten off the streets:
Allen Whylie - Commissioner of Police
"That release also showed what we have done in terms of our drug interdiction efforts and it also showed the number of firearms seized. We've seized 70 firearms at this time compare to 90 last year and we've also seized 1,117 assorted rounds of ammunition for 2017 compared to 1,316 assorted. Firearms stole to date, we've had 9 firearms reported stolen compared to 29 that was reported stolen at the end of 2016 June."
Tomorrow, we'll have more from the Commissioner's press conference in which he carefully broke down the crime stats by districts.
