Police Chief Bill Reid wants Saint Johners to know despite the buzz on the streets, Saint John isn’t a dangerous place to live and work.
He tells CHSJ News a lot of the violent crime we’ve been seeing are actually just isolated incidents, because we really don’t have much in the way of gang activity or turf wars. He says the “one off” crimes are by nature hard to predict.
Still, Reid points out there’s been only one murder in 2012 despite a number of suspicious deaths.
