Crime is up significantly. DAs Office refusing to prosecute "petty criminals" since jails are full, so cops are tired of turning guys in just to see them exit back onto the street. Also small drugs amounts are ignored now for the same reason. Response times to calls way up. Criminals are seeing this momentum and are more brazen. Likely they will not get caught. HPD morale lower than ever.
Large recognizable construction site, caught the same guy 3-4 times on camera stealing stuff over last couple of months. Guy has been arrested by HPD 2 of the X times we caught him on camera. Cops pulled up his record and he literally had over 30 theft charges. They said it looks like he gets caught, bails out, never then never shows back up to court, repeat, yet he still gets to have bail.
They told us "we'll take him in and y'all can press charges, but you'll probably see him again".
