wikification[edit]

Hi User:The03era15strong - nice start on this article. Now that the "wikify" tag is there, people will start coming through and helping with the formatting of the article. Happy wikiing --Bmk 04:28, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some of this seems like pure garbage and some of these needs serious backup in facts. People are out to rat out on the Hilltop but really there are no facts out there as far as I know that backs up these claims on it being the most dangerous part of Central Ohio. Please find facts before putting out this garbage. [User:jjboyle] 23:07 EDT 24 July 2006

vehicle numbers[edit]

The vehicle's information may be incorrect. 18 pct. includes the cars 186 and 1806. Additionally, midwatch cars usually end in a 6 or 7 and paddywagons usually end in an 8 or 9. Also lietenants are not assigned to precincts but are assigned to zones.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.133.190.7 (talk) 15:16, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've never seen a paddywagon end in anything BUT an 8 in my experience. The only vehicles that end in 8 that aren't wagons that I know of are assigned to the Freeway Patrol. ArcAngel (talk) 23:41, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Under the recent changes made to CPD(7/10), all precincts have 5 cars assigned, for example 60 -64, and a PTV which ends in an 8. PTV's always end with an 8. Midwatch cars start with a 9, ex. 9101 or 9020. They may have a PTV also assigned to the midwatch unit and if so it would start a 9 and end a 3, ex. 9183. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sheepdog66 (talk • contribs) 01:43, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Information removed[edit]

@Shadybabs: I'm not sure why you keep insisting this information stay.

The lede paragraphs for articles are supposed to summarize the body. This is the first fatal flaw.
Secondly, there's not even one cohesive topic.
It starts off by mentioning the rate of police killing (false, debunked here).
Then it goes on to mention its "danger" 11 years ago, using FBI crime data, which specifically says "Readers should take into consideration relevant factors in addition to an area’s crime statistics when making any valid comparisons of crime among different locales. UCR Statistics: Their Proper Use provides more details.
Next it gives 9-year-old homicide data (so what)
Lastly it gives a false statement by the extremely biased, unreliable Columbus Free Press, debunked here

Please, there's nothing here that warrants inclusion. If you want to keep crime statistics somewhere, perhaps instead add them in the Columbus, Ohio article, but add current (2020) crime statistics, and perhaps a history of it over the years. Single outdated snapshots of slivers of crime data from 2009 and 2011 are not nearly comprehensive enough to give any sort of picture of the city's crime rates. $ɱ$ (talk) 13:42, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
