A
A
That's
why
the
mayor's
here
she
may
not
always
be
available
for
these
press
conferences,
but
I
think
it's
certainly
fitting
that
she's
here
today
we
have
a
lot
of
things
coming
up
this
week,
starting
with
the
storm
starting
with
a
storm,
and
then,
of
course,
at
the
end
of
next
week,
we
have
St
Patrick's
Day
coming
up
as
well,
so
I
want
to
cover
a
few
of
those
topics.
Before
we
begin
you
know,
typically,
we
we've
started
more
recently.
B
Hey
good
afternoon
everybody,
my
name
is
David
Caravan
I
serve
as
the
Director
of
the
Boston
Regional
Intelligence
Center.
Here
at
Boston,
Police
Department.
As
you
may
know,
we
wrapped
up
2022.
On
a
good
note,
our
part,
one
crime
statistics
were
the
lowest
recorded
since
2006
and
based
on
available
data.
These
were
the
lowest
part,
one
crime,
total
statistics
recorded
since
the
late
1950s.
So
as
we've
begun
2023
overall,
our
part
one
crime
has
decreased
by
eight
percent,
so
an
additional
decrease
we're
trending
in
the
right
direction.
B
Right
through
yesterday,
violent
crimes
have
decreased,
nine
percent
or
54
incidents
and
property
crimes
have
decreased
eight
percent
or
164
incidents.
Rape
incidents
have
declined
by
nearly
one-third
compared
to
this
time.
Last
year
and
additionally,
non-domestic
aggravated
assaults
have
declined
by
a
quarter.
B
We've
seen
significant
decreases
observed
in
several
property
crime
categories
that
includes
commercial
burglary,
down
46
percent,
residential
burglary
down
21
percent
and
vehicle
breaks
down.
17
percent
part.
One
crimes
have
also
decreased.
Eight
percent
year-to-date
compared
to
the
five-year
average
with
violent
crime
down
10
percent.
That's
over
200
part
one
crime,
incidents
in
65,
violent
crime
incidents,
the
two
categories
with
an
increase
to
date
this
year
are
homicide
and
robbery,
just
both
both
are
just
slightly
above
their
five-year
averages.
B
We've
seen
arrest
decrease
nearly
12
percent
compared
to
our
five-year
average
at
this
point
in
the
year,
and
our
shooting
incidents
have
increased
by
seven
with
nine
additional
victims.
Here
today,
total
shootings,
total
shooting
victims
are
five
above
the
five-year
average
and
we
continue
to
work
towards
those
issues.
Commissioner,.
A
Thank
you
very
much
that
was
David
Caribbean,
director
of
Boston,
Regional,
Intelligence,
Center,
and
so
clearly
crime
is
down
in
in
most
categories,
however,
homicide
and
shootings
are
up,
and
that
is
something
we
are
certainly
working
to
address
as
we
partner
again
with
the
community
to
make
sure
we
are
informed.
You
know
when
these
things
happen
and
actually
make
sure
we
have
officers
in
place
to
prevent
them
in
the
first
place.
A
The
parade
is
going
back
to
traditional
route,
much
longer
route
than
we've
had
before
in
the
past,
and
so
we're
asking
for
the
public
to
enjoy
this
family-friendly
holiday,
which
is,
is,
you
know,
become
more
so
than
what
it
was
in
the
past,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
it
stays
that
way.
So
we're
asking
people
if
they
do
come
into
the
city
to
be
cognizant
of
this
is
a
family-friendly
event
to
you
know
we're
not
going
to
be
allowing
public
drinking
and
to
be
aware
of
you
know
the
activities
around
drinking.
A
In
general
that
day
we
asked
parents
to
certainly
be
aware
of
the
you
know,
young
people's
activities
and
where
they
are,
as
well
as
a
lot
of
people
come
from
outside
of
the
city.
You
know
on
the
team
to
come
to
the
event,
and
so
you
know
we
are
looking
for
some
partnership
with
adults
and
anyone
who
has
they
may
be
concerned
about
people
coming
into
the
city
drinking
that
that
is
something
that
we're
asking
us
others
to
be
aware
of.
A
We
will
have
offices
along
the
Route
and
working
with
the
state
police
and
all
our
partners,
the
MBTA
police
state
police
and
our
federal
Partners
to
make
sure
that
this
is
a
safe
event
in
general
and
we
will
be
monitoring
all
activities
regarding
Public
Safety
for
this
coming
event,
the
the
bars
and
actually
the
the
liquor
establishments
that
will
be
closing
early,
particularly
in
the
area
at
4
pm,
and
we
thank
them
for
providing
that
service
to
us
to
make
sure
that
the
this
event
does
stay
family
friendly
in
general,
there
have
been
a
recent
uptick
in
in
people
around
drinks
and
drinks
biking.
A
A
Beside
this
event,
coming
up
I
know,
we
do
have
some
weather
that
we
may
want
to
talk
about
me.
I,
don't
know
if
you
want
to
take
a
moment
to
talk
about
that
now,
yeah.
If
you've
done
some
here,
I'm.
A
C
Thank
him.
This
is
truly
his.
His
idea
he's
been
talking
about
for
a
while
of
wanting
to
make
sure
that
there's
space
to
highlight
all
of
the
good
work
happening
across
the
police
department
and
our
Public
Safety
efforts
and
to
create
a
chance
to
have
have
you
all
have
have
the
chance
to
ask
any
questions
at
all.
So
I
want
to
thank
and
there's
some
some
folks
in
in
the
room
also
before
I
go
to
into
the
weather.
C
Thank
you
to
all
of
our
BPD.
Well,
thank
you.
Dave
Caravan,
for
a
great
presentation
and
for
keeping
us
updated,
helping
us
measure
what's
happening
in
in
all
the
various
ways
that
we
we
track.
The
numbers
I
want
to
thank
members
of
The
Command
Staff,
who
are
here
also
just
a
great
resource
for
us
at
the
city,
alongside
the
commissioner
from
Chief
long
superintendent,
culinary
superintendent
cologne.
C
We
have
our
senior
advisor
for
Public,
Safety,
Isaac
yavlo
here
as
well,
everyone
everyone
working
hand
in
hand
and,
of
course
thank
you
to
Jessica,
Marielle
and
Tiffany,
and
everyone
else
cool,
oh
and
she's
hiding,
but
the
amazing
brand
new
Chief
of
Staff
to
commissioner
Cox
Nicole,
already
making
a
big
difference
for
the
city.
So
a
quick
update,
the
weather
forecasts
are
still
shifting
around
quite
a
bit
our
Public
Works
and
Emergency
Management
and
Boston
Public.
C
Schools
teams
are
really
focused
on
tracking
this
minute
by
minute,
as
we
think
about
decisions
and
whether
there
is
going
to
be
an
impact
on
school
for
tomorrow.
Our
latest
estimates
from
a
range
of
providers
have
anywhere
from
a
three
to
four
inch
of
snow
prediction
to
upwards
of
you
know
closer
to
to
six
or
seven.
The
time
frame
has
it
coming
down
for
now
again
changing
rapidly,
potentially
starting
around
noon
time,
but
what
all
of
the
forecasts
have
across
the
various
predictor?
C
We
know
that
the
temperatures
won't
be
dangerously
cold,
but
the
combination,
the
real
question-
will
be
when
the
snow
begins,
how
fast
it
comes
down
and-
and
we
will
look
to
see
when
that
timing
lines
up,
because
many
of
our
buses
start
getting
on
the
roads
for
pickup
and
dismissal
time
right
around
1
pm.
So
if
it
all
kind
of
clusters,
then,
with
a
lot
of
snow
coming
down
fast
and
heavy
winds,
we're
just
monitoring
that
to
see
what
will
happen
and
we'll
be
back
with
potential
updates
later
today.
On
that
front,.
A
Thank
you
bear
a
couple
of
the
items.
I
just
wanted
to
briefly
touch.
There's
been
a
little
news
in
the
I
mean
information
out
there
around
missing
persons
and
that
what
I
want
to
make
clear,
certainly
is
the
public
out
there
about
when
they
should
report
someone
missing
and
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
not
you
know,
there's
no
on
Clarity
around
this.
A
If
someone
is
missing
or
they're
concerned
about
a
loved
one
that
they
should
report
it
to
us
right
away,
particularly
if
there's
a
a
young
age
involved
or
some
type
of
cognitive
issue
at
hand
or
our
age.
Regarding
that
person,
we
received
some
information
out
that
people
are
confused
about
waiting
how
long
they
should
wait.
A
So
we
may
start
to
take
some
other
questions
here.
I
know
we
are
doing
a
few
other
things,
but
the
idea
around
this
is
not
a
press
conference
only
around
bad
stuff,
but
eventually
so
we
can
start
about
what
we're
doing
on
a
daily
basis.
We
do
so
many
good
things,
particularly
around
community
policing,
with
Springtime
coming
up
we're
working
with
youth.
You
know
having
programs
working
with
youth.
The
city
talked
about
a
potentially
a
jobs
program
for
kids.
A
Our
department,
as
well
as
the
city
in
general,
does
so
many
positive
things,
but
yet
we
sometimes
don't
like
to
talk
about
some
of
those,
so
we
want
to
actually
have
these
more
routinely
so
you're
more
aware
of
what
we're
actively
doing
and,
more
importantly,
answer
your
questions
directly.
Some
of
the
things
that
I
have
seen
out
there
is
that,
for
some
reason,
if
you
don't
hear
from
us
almost
anybody's
an
authority
on
policing
issues
and
and
that's
really
just
not
appropriate,
so
I
I,
that's
why
I
think
it's
important
to
do
this
way.
D
Commissioner,
Friday
and
St
Patrick's
Day,
as
you
mentioned,
can
you
tell?
Can
you
talked
a
little
bit
about
drink
spiking?
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
Department's
efforts
to
stop
that?
How
you
go
about
that
and
also
last
year
we
did
see
some
white
supremacist
activity.
Is
that
something
you
can
address
and
how
do
you
handle
that.
A
It's
awareness,
particularly
younger
adults,
as
they
you
know
during
college
students,
things
of
that
nature
as
long
as
they're
aware
about
their
drinks
and
not
leaving
them
open
to
the
public
for
people
to
do
that,
I
think
that's!
The
important
part
is
that
people
do
that.
Do
this.
A
For
some
strange
reason,
we
will
prosecute
anybody
that
we
find
and
capture
who
has
done
this
certainly,
but
in
the
meantime
we
just
want
people
to
stay
safe
and
be
cognizant
of
their
drinks
and
making
sure
they're
covered
I
prefer
on
St
Patrick's
Day
in
general,
and
particularly
out
in
public,
not
to
drink
at
all.
Right,
that's
that's
what
my
preference
is
on
the
second
front.
A
You
know
it
doesn't
matter
if
it's
a
hate
group
or
anyone
who
comes
into
the
city
that
wants
to
do
harm
or
interrupt
our
daily
lives
or
you
know
they
are
on
our
radar
and
we
will
address
it
appropriately.
I,
certainly
don't
want
to
give
attention
to
people
who
don't
need
attention,
but
the
reality
is.
We
are
prepared
for
almost
anything
and
that's
what
we
prepare
for
in
general.
So
I
don't
know
if
those
folks
will
return
but
either
way
we'll
be
prepared
and-
and
we
will
treat
everyone
constitutionally,
regardless
of
who
they
may
be.
D
C
Is
a
beloved
tradition
in
the
city
and
one
that's
very
much
tied
to
the
history
of
our
immigrant
communities
and
and
the
history
of
particular
Revolutionary
War
sites
in
in
the
development
of
this
country,
and
so
we're
very
grateful
to
the
Boston
police
for
taking
on
the
additional
Staffing
and
and
resources
and
intense
planning.
That's
required
to
return
to
a
longer
traditional
route.
C
That
does
go
by
many
more
of
these
historical
sites
in
the
parade
and
we've
been
working
very
closely
with
community
members,
even
as
recently
as
Friday
evening,
together
with
the
some
of
the
parade
organizers
and
fellow
leaders
in
in
the
community
at
all
levels
of
of
elected
office
and
Public
Safety
agencies.
Just
to
make
sure
that
everybody's
continuing
to
coordinate
and
be
ready
are.
C
I
could
have
a
whole
briefing
every
single
day
on
the
tee,
just
of
of
all
of
the
urgency
that
there
is
to
make
sure
this
basic
infrastructure
gets
the
resources
that
it
needs
to
be
fixed.
I
know
we
are
making
strides
there.
C
This
is
a
major
factor
in
everything
that
we
do.
We
have
been
in
touch
with
the
MBTA,
both
in
the
sort
of
leadership
level
and
in
some
of
the
public
safety
conversations.
The
MBTA
police,
Transit
Police,
have
been
at
the
table
and
Incredibly
engaged.
They
have
assured
us
that
this
is
on
their
radar
as
a
very
big
important,
large-scale
event,
and
so
they
know
that
we
need
to
have
special
care
here,
and
so
you
know
rest
assured.
We
still
encourage
everyone
to
take
public
transportation
to
access
the
neighborhood
and
large-scale
events.
E
C
There
are
two
factors
that
are
maker
break
for
our
economy
and
whether
we
will
continue
to
be
a
city
that
leads
the
way
for
Innovation
and
jobs
and
quality
of
life.
It
is
housing
and
transportation.
I
hear
it
from
every
single
one
of
our
businesses
that
they
are
losing
workers
who
can't
afford
to
live
in
the
city,
or
they
are
not
sure
if
they
can
get
their
workers
to
come
in
person
to
the
office
because
of
stress
or
concerns
about
the
transportation
system.
And
so
the
wonderful
news
is
that
we
have
a
state
Administration.
C
That
is
fully
on
board.
With
moving
fast
on
this
two
leaders
and
the
governor
and
the
lieutenant
governor
who
know
these
issues
very
well,
who
are
completely
committed
to
putting
the
resources
behind
them
both
to
boost
the
housing
Supply
that
we
have
to
make
sure
there's
more
affordable
housing
and
to
get
going
much
more
quickly.
C
On
the
transportation
front,
we're
in
regular
communication
with
them
at
the
city
level
and
share
everything
from
our
dreams
at
a
at
a
big
picture
scale
for
how
we
build
the
foundation
for
our
economy
to
really
grow
and
be
that
example
across
the
country,
but
also
on
a
day-to-day
basis,
issues
about
how
we're
preparing,
or
as
we
prepare
for
inclement
weather,
the
exact
intersections
that
the
city's
Public
Works
teams
and
the
MBTA
staff
are
coordinating
around.
Who
will
clear
the
snow
from
from
these
exact
locations.
C
So
we
have
a
great
working
relationship
and
we
all
need
to
do
more.
I
was
on
the
green
line
today
and
you
can
feel
the
slow
zones
above
ground.
You
know.
Luckily,
I
I
didn't
I
saved
plenty
of
time
for
myself,
but
even
getting
to
the
the
first
thing
you
see,
there
was
a
train
that
was
just
sitting
there
out
of
service
because
of
a
schedule
adjustment
we
didn't
get
going
for
a
good,
almost
five
to
ten
minutes
and
and
then
just
kind
of
crawling
crawling
over
some
of
the
stops.
C
There
were
several
people,
you
know,
I'm
I'm
in
my
I
couldn't
run
today,
but
there
were
several
people
who,
when
they
heard
the
train
was
going
to
be
delayed
for
an
unforeseen
period
of
time.
Just
had
already
tapped
their
card
had
already
gotten
on
and
decided.
They
were
just
going
to
get
off
and
walk
to
their
location
anyway.
So
we
feel
that
sense
of
frustration
all
across
our
community.
This
is
a
big
picture,
economic
issue.
F
Wanted
to
create
a
Statewide
unit
to
help
you
know
local
districts,
local
police
districts,
investigate
this
in
person,
but
wonder
if
any
talk
about
that
and
also
have
looked
at
the
that
the
Boston
police,
specifically
how
they
handle
that.
If
is
there
a
better
way
to
handle
that,
specifically
with
this,
was
a
woman
in
East,
Boston
who's
gone
missing.
The
frustration
her
family
had
around
that.
A
Yeah
so
I
mean
you
know,
you
know,
I
think
the
important
thing
around
the
the
last
thing
you
just
made
comment
is
that
you
know
that
person
is
found,
hopefully
safe
or
we
find
out.
You
know
exactly
who
it
is
that
may
have
harmed,
that
individual
we've
been
working
on
that
case
since
day,
one
and
and
like
with
all
investigations.
There's
always
more
that
you
could
do
you
know,
but
the
fact
is:
we've
been
working
very
hard
and
we
hoped
that
she
gets
here
safely
and
I.
Sometimes
I
just
want
to
make
the
message.
A
You
know
clear:
we
need
the
Public's
help
in
finding
out
where
she
is
who
might
have
her,
because
that's
the
focus
of
the
story
really
it's
that
that
we're
here
to
help
find
her,
and
you
know,
and
we're
going
to
do
all
we
can
to
make
sure
that
happens
as
far
as
the
state
you
know,
bringing
a
unit
to
help
other
local
municipalities
I
think
that's
always
a
good
thing.
I
I
would
say
all
police
departments
need
more
resources.
A
We
are
asked
to
do
many,
many
things
and
we
don't
always
have
enough
people
to
do
all
of
those
things
so
investigate
patients
are
difficult.
They
can
be
long.
They
take
a
lot
of
work
in
general,
so
anytime,
someone
wants
to
support
any
municipality
and
in
doing
investigations,
particularly
around
missing
persons.
I
think
that
support
is
helpful.
A
C
So,
just
on
this
point,
I
want
to
thank
the
commissioner
and
the
department
for
working
very
closely.
The
office
of
police,
accountability
and
transparency.
Opat
has
been
working
with
the
Department
to
ensure
that
our
all
of
our
policies
at
the
city
level
reflect
the
reality
of
of
what
we
see
today.
C
Beyond.
A
single
investigation
as
well
whether
it
is
working
to
ensure
that
our
materials
are
put
out
in
multiple
languages,
including
to
Media
Outlets
that
are
covered
in
languages
other
than
English,
or
to
be
very
clear
about
when
the
policies
are
where,
where
information
is
released
to
the
public,
the
commissioner
and
opa
are
Stephanie
Everett.
Our
op
director
have
been
taking
the
lead
on
that.
G
Commissioner,
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
police
resources?
You
have
a
big
full-length
parade
coming
up.
You
have
a
department,
that's
down
a
couple
hundred
officers.
So
does
that
concern
you
when
you
have
those
two
things
colliding
and
then
what
is
sort
of
the
state
of
trying
to
help
the
staff
initiative
so.
A
You
know
we
are
currently,
you
know,
certainly
trying
to
enlist
probably
one
of
the
largest
classes
we
ever
had
come
coming
up
this
spring
to
help
you
know
alleviate
some
of
the
pressure
of
of
having
so
many
retirements
and
people.
You
know
attrition
loss
as
far
as
a
major
event
like
this,
whether
it's
this
event
the
marathon
it
takes
all
our
department
resources
to
do
it
and
and
it's
a
traditional
thing,
so
it's
not
like
something
that
just
came
out
of
the
blue.
A
We
probably
haven't
done
it
in
the
full
fashion
that
we're
doing
coming
up
this
week
in
a
while,
but
it's
something
we've
had
to
deal
with
before
you
know
we're
doing
all
we
can
to
increase
our
numbers,
but
we're
also
doing
all
we
can
to
make
sure
that
this
is
a
place
where
people
want
to
come
and
work
and
and
again
this
is
where
we
need
some
help
and
assistance.
You
know
this
is
a
wonderful
job.
We
do
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
for
the
public.
A
We
need
it
in
so
many
different
ways.
We
just
always
need
to
make
sure
the
narrative
about
what
we
do
and
how
we
do
it.
It's
reflected
accurately.
You
know
that
that's
all
I
asked
about
about
some
of
that.
You
know
to
make
sure
that
this
is
always
a
place
where
young
people
want
to
join
to
help,
because
that
is
all
we're
here
to
do
right.
A
Our
mission
is
to
serve
the
public
and
that's
all
we
do
day
in
and
day
out,
but
along
the
way
there's
been,
you
know,
certainly
a
loss
of
love
for
this
job.
You
know
like
it's,
certainly
in
the
way
that
I
that
I
see
it.
We
do
so
many
positive
things,
but
yet
it's
hard
to
attract
people,
it's
hard
to
get
people
to
stay
on
board.
So.
G
A
So
The
Residency,
certainly
you
know
that's
the
the
discussion
with
us
in
the
mayor
again
I,
even
if
we
did
I,
don't
know
how
much
of
an
impact
that
that
would
be
right
now.
We
need
to
make
sure
people
understand
that
this
is
the
job
in
which
we
we
give
back
to
the
society
that
we
live.
We
are
here
to
do
good
things
in
that.
The
fact
is
that
this
is
a
well-run
police
department
in
in
the
greatest
city
in
America.
A
You
know
those
combination
of
those
things
you
would
think
would
want
to
attract
people,
but
we
are
fighting
a
tough
tide
right
now
in
general
and
we're
doing
all
we
can
to
make
sure
people
understand
what
this
job
is.
Who
we're
here
to
serve,
so
you
can
make
it
attractive.
So
we
don't
have
issues
around
retention.
C
I,
just
I
am
so
filled
with
gratitude
and
hope
about
the
direction
of
community
policing
in
Boston
and
the
close
ties
between
our
police
department
and
everything
else
that
is
happening
in
the
city.
Our
officers
on
a
daily
basis
come
into
contact
with
families
from
every
background
speaking
every
language,
and
sometimes
they
are
that
first
connection,
point
to
Services.
C
We
were
in
this
room
not
too
long
ago
celebrating
and
thanking
several
officers
who,
on
a
I,
think
maybe
a
routine
traffic,
stop
or
or
I
realized
that
that
family
didn't
have
housing
in
just
the
the
quick
conversation
and
went
so
above
and
beyond
to
make
sure
that
they
got
connected
to
the
right
services
and
had
a
warm
place
to
stay
that
night
just
way
outside
the
sort
of
usual
job
description
of
how
people
think
about
what
officers
are
doing.
That
is
the
work
of
the
police
department
every
day.
C
Before
that
I
was
at
the
pre-academy
training
program
that
Jago
the
Latino
law
enforcement
group
runs
and
that,
just
as
part
of
their
community
service,
they
work
with
young
people
who
are
trying
to
even
get
ready
to
get
into
the
academy
to
get
ready
to
become
officers
and
the
sense
of
commitment
and
excitement
in
that
room
to
join
this
first
and
finest
police
force
in
the
country
was
was
palpable.
People
were
thrilled
and
excited,
and
it
was
spaces
from
who
I
recognized
from
our
city
hall,
Municipal
Protective
Services,
who
wanted
to
make
that
jump.
D
A
So
I
think
we're
going
to
accomplish
that.
But
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
is
that
you
know
we
do
serious
vetting
when
it
comes
to
police
work
so
to
get
200.
We
have
to
go
through
quite
a
number
of
people
right
because
it's
you
know
some
people,
you
know,
do
the
history
or
whatever
they
probably
wouldn't
be
appropriate
for
policing,
and
so
we
always
need
a
much
larger
number.
Just
to
you
know,
get
the
gold
number
that
we're
looking
for
at
a
time.
So
can
you
describe
just.
