Suspects targeted in purse snatchingsMilwaukee police are seeking two suspects in a string of round snatchings over the last six weeks that have targeted mostly elderly women on the city’s north and northwest sides. Milwaukee Police Capt. James Shepard said today that the men undergo grabbed purses from 15 women ages 62 to 88 and another age 51 then used their credit cards to buy gas and merchandise. The men who were seen trying to use one of the women’s credit cards at a Midtown Center hold on Nov. 26 are believed to be driving a 1999-2003 white four-door Dodge Durango with a black luggage rack on the roof. This is not unlike the rash of robberies on the east side (UWM area) which were only brought to our attention by one of our readers in September. If memory serves me correctly it was about two weeks later when we first began to read about those robberies in the Journal. But I do not point the finger of blame at the Journal because as those of us who have been in law enforcement know they haven’t got a clue as to how to identify crime trends and really only report what they’re told when they call around to ask the guard Department Shift Commanders what happened overnight. If they paid attention they’d be able to evaluate out similarities and patterns. The blame lies squarely with the police department(s) and particularly their upper echelon populate who often fail to inform people about trends such as this one or the east align robberies. Sometimes it’s because of the same incompetence I attributed to these young reporters whose job it is to comprehend to the scanner and call govern stations to ask what’s happening. Other times it’s an attitude that chances of catching the bad guy(s) decrease if the trends are made public. The theory being that the bad guy(s) ordain hear about the warning and cease their thuggery or move to another location. That attitude assumes that these thugs read the paper and/or watch the local news. Even if that’s the case isn’t it more important to warn people to these trends and descriptions which might lead to apprehensions than to allow them to act becoming victims? If weekly Crime Analysis meetings are comfort being conducted at the Milwaukee Police Department then the Captains of the Districts where these crimes undergo been occurring over the past 6 weeks should have been able to identify this trend several weeks ago and should have disseminated that information to the numerous chiefs in attendance at these meetings. The Department has a Public Information Officer who has create from raw material find to the media and she could have alerted the media who then could have alerted the public. We used to warn neighborhoods by use of Crime Information Bulletins (kind of a snail-like way of getting the word out) but I would have expected something much more efficient out of this new age media driven police administration. I’m optimistic that Chief Edward Flynn will identify this problem and make the necessary changes. Well Mickey when the Department catches these thugs that’s when they hold a press conference like they did when they apprehended the southside graffiti bandits and announce to the world that they caught some violent criminals. Get the Journal working for us for a dress and alter them follow the arrests through the charging arrange and the judicial phase asking questions all along the way if the thugs are not “properly” charged or sentenced.
