But thats a whole lot better than it was for most of the day when we saw the really strongea winds causing problem. This is a 10 00 wind chill number its 8degrees in the district.

Martinsburg, 14, winchester 12, obviously a very cold night andd quite a change from 24 hours ago when it was still in the 40s and we were waiting for this cold air to role into town.

As well as are weekend details just a head. A thank you, sue. New at 10, d. C. Mayor Muriel Bowser sent a letter to the noting the accomplishments andcp knowing a decrease in crime. A but it may notde all be that it seems. Marina maracco is live with thee latest. Reporter its a weekly email and as of course as the year closes out, two weeks out, mayorow accomplishments as well as the crime in the district virtually being down across the board. Ard. Take a look for yourself. Urse heres the email. You see it on the left hand of your screen. In it mayor bowser says homicides are down 17 percentow and robberies down 12 percentdo from last yearwn. If you look the at numbers abers little closer, especially the most egregious of the crimes, the homicide count, those numbers are down by 27 homicides with just two weeks to go in the year. Yes, this year the homicides are down from last but lets compare these numbers to these. These are from vincent grays time as mayor, its significant lower. Tonight mayor gray had some hash words for mayor bowser and stressed the urgent need for more Police Officers in a city that is facing an stream policeman power deficiency. Icie obviously they were increased in 2015 which was her first year. Yr what shes talking decrease is from her firsthand. I think to be absolutely fare and candid with people, you need to compare it from the past several years. If you compare it to the four years i was in office youll se weve had an increase over the two years by comparison to 2012, 2013 and 2014. I happen to believe one the sharp reduction that weve seenw in the number of officers. I think were blow 3800 at this stage, which is well blow what chief lanier said was the threshold that we should nothoul cross and i happen to believe the chief lanier was absolutely right. I also believe that in addition to getting back under the threshold of 4,000, which is the authorized strength of Police Officers we should add another couple hundred officers and they had you be deployed to the areai where wevecerseplo seen the sht increases in violent crime. Where people have been routinelo killed, ward 7 and ward now i asked mayor gray ifif once hes back on the council if hed give interim police chief Peter Newsham his signature of approval if mayor bowser were, in fact, to name him as the citys top cop. He told me ease not ready to r rule him out, but hes not ready to sign off. Off.
