Pretty amazing link from the Village Voice.

Pretty damning stuff; especially with regards to precinct commanders massaging crime reporting to get favorable numbers.

I thought that was just for business executives.

Here's the link:

"As far as the defacing of department property—all right, the shit on the side of the building . . . and on people's lockers, and drawing penises in people's memo books, and whatever else is going on—just knock it off, all right?" a Sergeant A. can be heard saying. "If the wrong person sees this stuff coming in here, then IAB [the Internal Affairs Bureau (http://www.villagevoice.com/related/to/IAB)] is going to be all over this place, all right? . . . You want to draw penises, draw them in your own memo book. . . And don't actually draw on the wall."

Not too surprised. Cops always have certain quotas they have to reach and it doesn't surprise me they ignore crimes to some degree to keep statistics on crime rates down. It makes it look like they don't do a shit job, lol.
