With regards to the messages I've received about crimes during COVID.....
....Overall crime is down 40% in the 7 cities my station is designated to patrol, but we still deal with a fair amount of stolen vehicles (..no Euros, all Honda's and Ford/Chevy trucks), burglaries, and domestic violence calls. We also still find guns on gangsters and arrest for serious felonies; misdemeanors are largely field cite-outs. Thankfully the desperation hasn't caused an increase in person-on-person crimes, but I did work a murder two nights ago (...my first one of 2020) that involved a local gang known for their drive-by shootings.
