50 Shades of Brown

Day one:

"Crime Prevention Incident Reports"

CPIR’s and Police Science ?

One has to wonder what Sheriff Chris Schmaling and Deputy Sheriff John Hanrahan has to hide when a simple and benign open records request is answered by Racine County Corporation Counsel.

In the year 2013, there were 20,233 Crime Prevention Incident Reports filed by Racine County sheriff deputies.  

Interesting fact is the Racine County Sheriff office has no definitions or criteria of what Crime Prevention Incidents are, (herein referred to as CPIR’s)………. a strange paradox indeed. 

How can a law enforcement agency measure the usefulness of crime prevention incidents when there are no measurable guidelines to measure against?

Police Science is a mixed hodgepodge of physical science and social meddling.

The physical sciences are criminology, forensic science, psychology, jurisprudence, community policing and criminal justice.

We have attached hyperlinks below for each of the physical sciences

criminology,          forensic science,  psychology,  jurisprudence, community policing, criminal justice  

CPIR’s do not apply to any of the above physical police sciences,  therefore, CPIR’s must fall into the category of meddling.

Inquiring minds wonder what CPIR’s are really for.  We have an idea, do you?
