Juvenile crime is skyrocketing in Renton. The Renton police chief posted a message on X addressing the issue.
“There’s no other way to put it, but what we are seeing is more and more juveniles involved in violent and property crimes. In some cases, rates are doubling and tripling year over year,” Renton Police Chief Jon Schuldt said in an X post on Wednesday.It’s a stark message about the current juvenile crime problem in Renton and the trend appears to be getting worse.The chief’s message was posted the day after two 15-year-olds were arrested for driving a stolen car and carrying a loaded handgun.
Corman, now retired, served on the Renton City Council for 28 years. He’s the longest serving council member in Renton history. “We’ve had a great deal of building permit activity, a building boom and when that’s happened, we have doubled the size of our building department. Here we have crime, which has doubled and we have not doubled the size of our police department,” Corman said.
“We’re falling behind in accountability. We’re not able to hold perpetrators of crimes, big and small, accountable the way we used to and as a result, I think it created a little bit more of an open season,” Corman said.
