In a city with tens of thousands of criminal incidents per year, 269 occurrences of anything is statistically irrelevant.
Furthermore, 22 staffers were needed for 239 occurrences? Really? That’s not even 2 instances per day. At least real cops actually work a full shift everyday.
Your tax dollars at work.
