The residents were to report

A new Portland Police Bureau report does not increase that crime is decreasing near new emergency accommodation in the city.

The report shocked many residents who live in accommodation and informed KGW that they deal with constant crimes and drug use in their neighborhoods.

Joan Neice lives towards an animal shelter in the Pearl district on the other side of the street and fights against the addition of a new animal shelter. She said she had crime and danger for years, “from attacks to harassment to our own concierge, which is attacked by a homeless with a pipe”.

The Department of Strategic Services of Portland Police Bureau carried out the study at accommodation overnight in order to analyze the crime before and after two recent accommodations.

“We had heard from our Outreach workers that the participants in our websites had less crime, less harassment less bodily harm, less theft,” said Robert Layne, Senior Communications Strategist for Portland Solutions.

The researchers analyzed crime reports in the Salvation Army Female Emergency Shelter (Safes) in the 2nd Avenue and in the Moore Street Shelter in the North Williams Avenue. They looked at the statistics for the six months before the shelter's openings in January, then six months later within a radius of 1,000 feet from each location.

According to city officials, crime at both locations fell back.

“For Moore it has dropped a little more than 12%,” said Layne, “and the Safes location decreased by about 3%, which is still quite significant.”

At a closer look, the numbers show mixed results.

Based on the figures presented in the report, six months after the animal shelter was opened, the Safes Shelter area recorded 33% after severe attacks and a decline in robberies by 56% compared to the six months before the animal shelter was opened. However, the numbers also show that motor vehicle thefts have risen by 44%and that drug violations rose by 55%.

The report stated that an increase in the enforcement of the police of police medication may have played a role in increasing the drug offenses.

The figures at the North Williams location showed a small decline in severe attacks and vandalism, but an almost doubled doubling of the vehicle thefts.

The resident Ciatta Thomson said that she did not trust the numbers.

“No matter how the town hall the numbers, the rocks are hard and the water is wet, people can see with their own eyes, and the results are what is happening,” she said.

Mayor Keith Wilson said on Wednesday that the city would help quarters with accommodations.

“If you have an animal shelter, you will see an increase in the decline in streets and graffiti sampling,” said Wilson. “We will focus on tackling drug use and drug trafficking. These are all we will see. They will be mitigated and dramatically reduced.”

However, it is not sufficient for the President of the Northwest District Association Todd Zarnitz.

“The model is to gather the problem, not to have a solution to the problem, then everyone can dive into the neighborhood during the day,” he said. “It's just a model that makes no sense. I don't care what the numbers say. I don't care what a table says.”
