Crime has increased nearly 8.4 percent in the 112th Precinct on the year through Dec. 13 compared to the same period in 2019.
But Capt. Joseph Cappelmann, commanding officer of the 112th Precinct, said when dealing with small numbers, the percentage fluctuates more.
The 569 index crimes are a jump from 525 but come out to about one more a week.
âA few crimes in a week will drive my percentage increase significantly whereas in a command that has a lot more crime it wonât move the percent as much,â Cappelmann said. âA lot of times you get caught up on the percentages.â
Thatâs not to say there havenât been issues, such as everyone wearing masks due to Covid making it more difficult to find perpetrators in addition to people being released early due to Covid.
