- Following the news that suburban Aurora did not record a single homicide in 2012, Mayor Tom Weisner is proposing a $500 bonus for all sworn police officers.
Weisner said that year after year, Aurora officers have put themselves on the line to snuff out violent crime.
“Having no homicides in 2012 is just one heck of an achievement. It’s really a culmination of the overall achievement of our police in reducing crime in general,” Weisner said. “My feeling was it just deserves recognition.”
The violent crime rate has decreased more than 30 percent from 2006 to 2011 and more than 50 percent in the past decade.
Of course, we'd have to wait until January 2014 now since we've already blown this year. Unless we could to it on a piece-work basis - maybe a murder free week could start at $10?
At this rate though, McCountdown might have to count the murder free hours to get any sort of payouts.
