The nine-in-one election at the end of the year has become fierce, but the election of Taoyuan mayor has been uneventful. In this regard, military commentator James Jseng pointed out that according to the latest statistics, Zhongli and Taoyuan have returned to the top two in the country in terms of the number of cases from January to September this year. He said directly that everyone in Taoyuan knows that various large and small projects that have not been done in the past three years have been everywhere lately, but the roads can be done like this, but the security cannot. It has been neglected for three years, and now it is too late to clamp down.
James Jseng posted on Facebook that the recent mayoral elections across Taiwan have been very lively, but only Taoyuan has been calm. It is basically a state of retirement. But perhaps because adults are sleeping too happily, the security situation in Taoyuan and Zhongli has begun to fluctuate again after improving in previous years. According to the latest statistics, the number of branch cases from January to September this year, Zhongli and Taoyuan have returned to the top two in the country.
James Jseng pointed out that what is more noteworthy is that this year is not the increase in single type of cases. In order to suppress this situation, the Taoyuan police continued to implement anti-gang, anti-gun, anti-drug, and anti-fraud projects in the second quarter. From April to June, more than 14,000 criminal cases of various types were seized, an increase of nearly 1,000 cases from the first quarter; among them, 137 fraud groups and 1,963 drug cases were seized.
James Jseng further pointed out that in September, Zhongli Branch uncovered another 124 criminal cases in one week, including 36 cases of fraud, 24 cases of drugs, 5 cases of theft, and 13 cases of drug and drunk driving. This arrogance seems to be unstoppable, and even the volunteer selection of front-line police officers has begun to reflect this kind of service pressure. He said that during discussions related to the police academy, someone pointed out that the number of volunteers for the first echelon in Taoyuan dropped sharply to 37 this year from 73 the year before last and 72 last year. The discussion even specifically named "Taoyuan and Zhongli", which are the precincts that everyone is trying to avoid.
James Jseng said that looking at the security situation may not be accurate, but looking at the direct response of front-line personnel to the workload is definitely the worst. He said directly, this is the sadness of Taoyuan, right? Everyone in Taoyuan knows that road repairs, weeding, and various large and small projects that were not done in the previous three years are everywhere recently. But the roads can be done in this way, but the security cannot. It has been neglected for three years, and now it is too late to clamp down.
James Jseng lamented that Taoyuan has gone from being a bright building, full of hope, and prosperous, to now returning to the dark past again. Taoyuan people chose a mayor who is hidden in the inner courtyard of the palace, a mayor who does not need to campaign, does not have to worry, and no one seems to challenge him, and then puts his children in danger.
