More ways Minneapolis OCS and Minneapolis PD are concealing crime.

A follower tells us they called 911 this afternoon to report some suspicious characters in ski masks near Bde Maka Ska/Calhoun.

The 911 call was the entry listed on the dashboard as "receive information" (pic  1). Which means the dispatcher didn't assign a squad to look, they just put out information to squads to be aware. 

And there was a robbery just 9 minutes later (from the time of the 911 call at 2:22 p.m.), just blocks away (pic 1).

Of course, no useful information is contained on the dashboard, like suspect or vehicle info. 

Also, as far as we can tell, the *helpful new 911 dashboard* (pic 1) isn't listing carjackings as such, it's just listing them as robberies. Which is BS. If you compare to the existing MPD crime dashboard (pic 3), it shows 16 carjackings so far this month. We don't recall seeing any listings for "carjacking" on the new 911 dashboard since it went into effect on May 1, and we check it multiple times a day, every line.

It matters because we can't see at a glance when and where carjackings are happening TODAY with the new 911 database (now that encryption is in effect).

Yes, there's yet another "Open Data" city database that lists carjackings and other crimes (pic 4), but that lags by at least several DAYS. That's useless safety information.

DEVELOPING: Today, my office along with AAG Dhillon is taking action to combat California’s practice of allowing boys to compete in girl’s sports. We are launching a Title IX investigation into CIF and Jurupa Unified School District for allowing a boy to dominate on the track team and take first place in competitions. We are also getting involved in an ongoing lawsuit against the Riverside Unified School District for allowing a boy to displace a girl on the cross country team.
