Carnegie reads that "CRIME IN Fife plummeted by 14% in the nine months to the end of December while the detection rate rose by 3.4%. Members of the region’s police, fire and safety committee were told that reported crimes fell from 22,696 in 2006 to 19,558 last year, a drop of 3138, and the clear-up rate rose from 50.8% to 54.2%. The figures were given to councillors by Chief Constable Peter Wilson in the latest performance report on the Fife force and he pointed out that they are far better than the five-year average."
Just one problem ... do you believe the statistics given that it is reported that as many as two in three crimes go unreported because of a lack of response by the police?
Carnegie has his doubts, but never mind the Chief Constable has announced his intention of resigning already. With that kind of performance perhaps he should be persuaded to stay, or is he just a one trick pony?
