SUNDAY APRIL 27, 2014 1.7B Is PBA's claim on chief true? • HOLLYWOOD, FROM IB were convicted In scheme that included selling heroin to federal undercover agents posing as mobsters. (The chief at the time was ac- cused of leaking informa- tion about the probe before the arrests, forcing the FBI to bring it to a close prematurely.) A separate group of offi- cers drew national attention in 2009 after one of them crashed into a civilian vehi- cle, and video captured em- ployees saying they would "do a little Walt Disney" to protect the officer and doc- tor a police report News reports in the Sun Sentinel indicate Fernandez has had some success: He has Increased recruiting, made physical improve- ments to the police station and brought a close to con- tract negotiations. Femandez also brought in outside consultants to audit the agency, and they found problems with its use -of - force policy, missing inter- nal -affairs files and forgot- ten rape kits, the Sun Senti- nel reported. The union dis- putes the audit and says it was written by a hired con- sultant tanked with finding fault, The billboard is the latest round in the battle between the union and city leaders, who say it's just another ploy. Jeff Marano, president of the police union, sent us Hollywood crime statistics from the Florida Depart- ment of Law Enforcement. The data showed the num- ber of homicides in the city rose from five in 2012to16 in 20B. A spokeswoman for the city did not dispute the numbers, but said they come with caveats.First, the homicides wereeither drug - or gang -related or domestic disputes, Kaolin Storey said. "There were not random acts of murder taking place in the city of Hollywood," she said. The reasons behind the homicides aren't the point, Marano said, "A homicide Is a homicide," he said, "It's a dead person." Assessing whether the number of homicides placed Hollywood in the No,1 slot In Broward was more complicated because statewide data for 2013 have not been published yet. (Maranosaidhe determined Hollywood was the highest by speaking with a Holly- wood homicide detective who speaks with counter- parts at other departments.) So we did our own re- search and asked law -en- forcement agencies in Bro- ward County to supply the number of homicides in their cities in 2013. We most- ly focused our search on the larger cities or the ones that had more than five homi- cides in 2012. The results: •Hollywood:16 • Fort Lauderdale:13 •Pompano Beach: 8 •Lauderhill: 6 •Lauderdale Lakes: 5 • Oakland Park: 5 •Mimnur:4 •Pembroke Pines: 0 We did notfindanycity in Broward that had more homicides than Hollywood. Not surprisingly, the city pointed to statistics that give residents a more favor- able impassion of safety, The data from FDLE showed other serious of- fenses, which include sexual assaults, robbery, aggravat- ed assault, burglary, larceny and motor vehicle thefts. In total, those offenses drop- pedB percent in Hollywood in 2013. FDLE data showed that the crime rate dropped from 5,869 per 100,000 resi- dents in 2012 to 5,050.9 per 100,000 in 2013, We sent the union's state- ment and the city's recent murder statistics to a few criminologists. Several ex- perts told us that when ex- amining small numbers from one year to the next, a jump can appear significant even when It's not.

The ruling: The number is correct, but the union cherry -picked crime statistics to find one that puts the city in the worst light. Atthis point, we have no idea whether the numberis part of a trend or an aberration. We also know that overall, crime decreased. The billboard also places the blame on Chief Fernandez, but criminologists say the chief can't be blamed for the number of murders, especially when it is such a small number. We ratethis claim:'.

"Homicides are rare events in Hollywood, and as such the rates can bounce around quite a bit," said James Lynch, chair of the criminology deportment at the University of Maryland and former director of the federal government's Bu- reau of Justice Statistics, We asked Marano to ex- plain why the union pinned the number of homicides on the chief, Marano cited the chief's "poor leadership" and deployment of officers, specifically "not enough of- ficers assigned to street lev- el crimes." But tine experts we inter- viewed rejected the idea that the chief was to blame for the number of murders in one year. "Let's assume the facts are correct," said Robert Fried- mann, a professor emeritus of criminal justice at Geor- gia State University. "So does that mean blame chief for it? Unless the chief's the one who shoots the people, I would say absolutely not," While them are steps po- lice departments can take to reduce crime, there are sev- eral factors - including neighborhood and econom- ic conditions and drug and gang activity - that influen- ce the number of murders in a city In given year. Those conditions are en- tirely or largely out of the control of the police, said Ronald L, Akers, a criminol- ogy professor at the Univer- sity of Florida. "We like to attribute de- clines in crime rates in a community to good police work, but there is not strong evidence to support that," Akers said, "Similarly, one may want to attribute in- creases in crime to bad po- lice work or an ineffective police department, but again, where is the evidence to support that? What have the police done any differy ently in 2013? What If the number of murders come down again in 2014?" OUR RULING The police union's bill- board states, "Hollywood is lg. in Broward homicides in 2013, Thanks Chief Fernandezl" Hollywood had 16 homi- cides in 20B, and we could not find any city that had any more homicides than Hollywood. While the number is cor- rect, the union cherry - picked crime statistics to find one that puts the city in the worst light We have no idea whether the number is part of a trend or an aberra- tion. We also know that overall, crime decreased. The billboard places the blame on Chief Fernandez, but criminologists say the chief can't be blamed for the number of murders, espe- cially wlhenit is such a small number.
