Has crime increased in PT?

Posted

Having lived in Port Townsend for many years I have really enjoyed The Leader as it enables me to catch up on the local news and also the upcoming week’s entertainment. For the most part I have supported The Leader’s change in style and content.

However for the past couple of weeks I have become very upset on two accounts. As soon as you open the paper you immediately see a full-page of the Police and Sheriff’s Logs.

1) What an awful way to portray to both tourists and residents regarding the crimes in Port Townsend.

2) Only just a few years ago this column was almost negligible, what has happened, has The Leader any suggestions or assigned a reporter to dig into the problem.
