FACT CHECK! Ray Marin’s Totally Bogus Claim about NMB Crime Rates.

As expected, Ray Marin tried to rebut the Truth Bombs dropped in the recent mailer about his term in office with fiction.  We did the research and, as you shall see, facts don’t lie.

Ray Marin wants North Miami Beach voters to know “the factual truth of my time on the NMB Commission.”

He started off by claiming, “Crime rates declined substantially over my years in office. Spikes occurred in every city, but on an overall basis crime rates declined steadily. In fact, our police department had the highest number of sworn officers in the history of NMB. My opponent and his colleagues voted to dramatically reduce the number of sworn officers, dropping the number of Police Officers by 27%. Our Police Department has yet to recover the strength and clout it had under my watch.”

Contrary to his fictional account, here are the real facts:

Despite Ray’s claim that “crime rates declined substantially” while he was in office, the crime rate in North Miami Beach was about twice the national average.

According to city-data.com, between the years 2002 and 2009, the average crime index was 535.20, with the highest crime index of 643.9 occurring in 2007 while he was Mayor – more than double the national average of 280.5.  The rate started dropping dramatically in 2010.  By 2016, the crime index hit a historic low of 368.0.

According to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Statistics, which are available through 2014, most of North Miami Beach’s highest violent crime rates took place between the years 1989 and 2009 – the years Ray Marin was in office.

Like we said, facts don’t lie.

Ray stated, “the Police Department has yet to recover the strength and clout it had under my watch.”

Wrong again.

In 2013 – four years after he was voted out of office –  the North Miami Beach Police Department was awarded EXCELSIOR Status by the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement.

Three years later in 2016, the NMBPD was awarded EXCELSIOR Status for the second time in a row!

2016 EXCELSIOR StatusWe’re thinking the North Miami Beach Police Department’s “strength and clout” has “recovered” quite nicely, thank you very much.

But, wait.  There’s more!

Ray Marin made even more bogus claims, which we will Fact Check in upcoming installments.

Stay tuned…

¡REVISIÓN DE HECHOS! La afirmación totalmente falsa de Ray Marin sobre las tasas de delincuencia de la NMB.

Como era de esperar, Ray Marin intentó refutar las verdaderas Bombas lanzadas en el reciente correo sobre su mandato en el cargo con la ficción. Hicimos la investigación y, como verás, los hechos no mienten.
Ray Marin quiere que los votantes de North Miami Beach conozcan “la verdad objetiva de mi tiempo en la Comisión de la NMB”.
Comenzó diciendo: “Las tasas de delincuencia disminuyeron sustancialmente durante mis años en el cargo. Las puntas se produjeron en todas las ciudades, pero en general las tasas de delincuencia disminuyeron constantemente. De hecho, nuestro departamento de policía tenía el mayor número de oficiales jurados en la historia de NMB. Mi oponente y sus colegas votaron para reducir dramáticamente el número de oficiales jurados, reduciendo el número de Oficiales de Policía en un 27%. Nuestro Departamento de Policía aún tiene que recuperar la fuerza y ​​la influencia que tenía bajo mi vigilancia “.
Contrariamente a su cuenta ficticia, aquí están los hechos reales:
A pesar de la afirmación de Ray de que “las tasas de criminalidad disminuyeron sustancialmente” mientras estaba en el cargo, la tasa de criminalidad en North Miami Beach era aproximadamente el doble del promedio nacional.
Según city-data.com, entre los años 2002 y 2009, el índice de criminalidad promedio fue de 535.20, con el índice de criminalidad más alto de 643.9 en 2007 mientras era alcalde, más del doble del promedio nacional de 280.5. La tasa comenzó a disminuir dramáticamente en 2010. Para 2016, el índice de delitos alcanzó un mínimo histórico de 368.0.
De acuerdo con las Estadísticas de informes de delitos uniformes del FBI, que están disponibles hasta 2014, la mayoría de las tasas más altas de delitos violentos en North Miami Beach tuvieron lugar entre los años 1989 y 2009, y Ray Marin estuvo en el cargo.
Como dijimos, los hechos no mienten.
Ray declaró que “el Departamento de Policía aún tiene que recuperar la fuerza y ​​la influencia que tenía bajo mi vigilancia”.
Nuevamente incorrecto.
En 2013, cuatro años después de que fuera elegido, el Departamento de Policía de North Miami Beach recibió el estatus de EXCELSIOR por parte de la Comisión para la Aplicación de la Ley de Florida.
Tres años más tarde, en 2016, el NMPD recibió el estatus de EXCELSIOR por segunda vez consecutiva.
Estamos pensando que la “fuerza y ​​el poder” del Departamento de Policía de North Miami Beach se ha “recuperado” bastante bien, muchas gracias.
Pero espera. ¡Hay más!
Ray Marin hizo afirmaciones aún más falsas, que veremos en las próximas entregas.
Manténganse al tanto…

FACT CHECK! Reklamasyon total pou Ray Marin a sou NMB Crime Rates.

Kòm espere, Ray Marin te eseye rebut bonm yo Truth tonbe nan mailer resan an sou tèm li nan biwo ak fiksyon. Nou te fè rechèch la, epi, jan ou pral wè, reyalite pa bay manti.
Ray Marin vle votè North Miami Beach yo konnen “verite reyèl nan tan mwen an nan Komisyon NMB.”
Li te kòmanse koupe nan reklame, “pousantaj krim te refize anpil sou ane mwen nan biwo Spikes ki te fèt nan chak vil, men sou yon baz jeneral krim pousantaj te refize piti piti.Anfèt, depatman lapolis nou an te gen nimewo ki pi wo a ofisye sèman nan istwa a nan NMB .. Opozan mwen ak kòlèg li yo te vote pou dramatikman diminye kantite ofisye sèman yo, jete kantite Ofisye Lapolis yo pa 27% Depatman Polis nou an poko retabli fòs ak klout li te gen anba gade mwen an. ”
Kontrèman ak kont fiktiv li, isit la se reyalite yo reyèl:
Malgre reklamasyon Ray a ke “pousantaj krim te refize anpil” pandan ke li te nan biwo, pousantaj krim nan nan North Miami Beach te sou de fwa mwayèn nasyonal la.
Dapre city-data.com, ant ane 2002 ak 2009, endèks la krim mwayèn te 535.20, ak endèks krim ki pi wo a 643.9 ki rive nan 2007 pandan ke li te Majistra – plis pase doub mwayèn nasyonal la nan 280.5. Pousantaj la te kòmanse dramatikman jete dramatikman nan 2010. Pa 2016, endèks la krim frape yon ba istorik nan 368.0.
Dapre Estatistik Inifòm Rapò FBI yo, ki disponib atravè 2014, pi fò nan pousantaj krim ki pi vyolan North Miami Beach la te fèt ant ane 1989 ak 2009 ane Ray Marin te nan biwo.
Tankou nou te di, reyalite pa bay manti.
Ray deklare, “Depatman polis la poko retabli fòs ak klout li te gen anba gade mwen an.”
Move ankò.
Nan 2013 – kat ane apre li te vote soti nan biwo – Depatman Lapolis North Miami Beach te akòde EXCELSIOR Status pa Komisyon an pou Ranfòsman Lwa Florid.
Twa ane pita nan 2016, NMPD te bay Eksklizif Status pou yon dezyèm fwa nan yon ranje!
Nou panse panse “fòs ak kou” Depatman Lapolis nan North Miami Beach te “refè” byen joliman, mèsi anpil.
Men, rete tann. Genyen plis!
Ray Marin te fè menm plis fos reklamasyon yo, ki nou pral reyalite Tcheke nan vèsman k ap vini yo.
Rete branche …

  1. Stephanie next you have to look into his claims about the financial stability under Ray and the games he played with the budget

  2. He is a shithead I believe that when he was mayor my father who is a minister and I where assaulted for supposedly stealing a car that was mine. That was in 1992 you probably remember who the Mayor was at that time but the police where horrible. The officers beat the hell out of us and all I can say to him and the other clown that are running against DeFillipo should be in jail. They called us Cubans and we are Puerto Ricans. I have the police records to prove it. The charges were dropped because at that time we did not know our rights so we had to attend anger management classes. I still remember the officers – Gomer and Abbot. They brought in about 10 police officers to do us up and when the Sergeant who came later said that we did nothing Abbot said that “I went for his gun.” You want mpre Crime vote for anyone but DeFillipo. This is not a promotion piece. I have the records to prove it.

  3. ANTHONY ” TONY” DE FILLIPO IS MY SON AND I’M VERY PROUD OF HIM. DURING HIS YEARS AS COMMISSIONER HE SERVED WITH HONESTY AND INTEGRITY. YOU CAN SEE WHAT HE ACCOMPLISHED FOR THE RESIDENTS IN THE MAILERS YOU RECEIVED. HIS OPPONENT IS SO DESPERATE TO GET BACK IN TO CONTROL THAT HE CONTINUES TO MAKE FALSE STATEMENTS AND IS MAKING FALSE LIES ABOUT TONY.

    IN SPITE OF THE ACCUSATIONS TONY CONTINUES WITH DETERMINATION TO SERVE WITH THE BEST INTENTIONS FOR OUR RESIDENTS.

    I’M NOT SURPRISED AT HIS OPPONENTS ATTACKS AND LIES AS HE ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING WHEN HE WAS MAYOR.

    THAT’S WHY HE WAS VOTED OUT. DON’T BE FOOLED CHECK THE FACTS. THE MAILERS YOU JUST RECEIVED IS THE TRUTH.

    1. So true, Kenny. We need to continue the progress of the last seven years not go back to the failed experiments of the past. It is as basic as theory and results. When theory and results differ throw out the theory and go with the results.
