Lots going on, but good to check how we’re doing to improve public safety:
• Violent crime ⬇️40%
• Homicides ⬇️78%
• Robbery ⬇️58%
• Car thefts ⬇️58%
• Burglaries ⬇️43%
• Thefts ⬇️11%

YTD, we’ve had the lowest number of murders in decades. More work to do!

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10
a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.

The slow drip of Post reporters tweeting they've been laid off is terrible to watch. Very sad day for the "local" paper.

We've made good progress on trash and recycling collection this weekend. We will resume the normal collection days for frontside and alleys.

DC ended January with a single murder (a second death happened last year & was ruled a homicide in January). That’s the lowest rate in…decades.

The Post has a story on page B14 (in between the Classified Ads and the Obituaries).

40 years ago?!?!
washingtonpost.com The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 10d
The Challenger mission ended in catastrophe.

But for those involved in this tragedy, the families of the astronauts and those who approved the launch, much about this story is perhaps even more relevant today than it was on Jan. 28, 1986.
40 years later, a new look at lessons from the Challenger disaster
Christa McAuliffe’s flight as the “teacher in space” lasted 73 seconds. A reporter who witnessed the tragedy returned to the story and found an engineer still trying to spread its lessons.
