6th Police District is one of the most challenging districts in
the Philadelphia Police Department. Although it is one of the
smallest patrol districts covering only 2.1 square miles, the
Police Officers have to deal with various types of crime.
The 6th District contains almost 30,000 full time residents
but they represent every facet of our modern American melting
pot culture. We have African-Americans, Caucasian, Asians, Latinos,
rich people, poor people, and middle class. Sixth District Police
Officers may deal with a homeless person living on a vent on
one call, and next be called to meet a millionaire. During the
business day our population swells to 250, 0OO when we consider
all the business people, office workers, merchants, shoppers,
visitors, commuters, sightseers and tourists who come to center
city.
Sixth District Officers provide profession service to such
diverse neighborhoods as the Richard Allen Homes, Society Hill,
Northern Liberties, Chinatown, Washington Square West, Pennslanding,
Center City Business District, East and West Poplar, Spring
Garden, and Old City. Our Police Officers need to be very adaptable
to provide community oriented police services to these different
areas.
In 1998 and again in 1999 we were proud to report a decrease
in the crime rate and complaints against Police. I believe this
demonstrates our commitment to provide quality service in a
professional manner.
With the completion of the Convention Center and the Avenue
of the Arts, and major development on the Waterfront and Market
Street, these projects are making a major impact on surrounding
neighborhoods and the city at large. This makes more of a challenge
for the 6th Police District Officers to provide a clean, safe
and a vibrant Center City that would benefit us all. The Captain
and his Officers have already started making their contribution.
