In 2016 the murder rate in the City of Coatesville, PA was 60.8 per 100,000. In Philadelphia it was 17.4 per 100,000.

Very little has changed in Coatesville since 2004.

The Revitalization of Coatesville that everyone was talking about in 2004 would have meant the end of the drug business in Coatesville and would have destroyed the easy in and out supply depot that Coatesville is in Chester County. The trickledown effect from the loss of drug business would affect hairdressers, car dealers, furniture stores, churches, restaurants and other local business; but most importantly it would affect the pay off income of corrupt public officials. 

Organized crime could feel their drug business in Chester County ending.  And the USDoJ was pushing as hard as it could for Revitalization. 

When Paul Janssen said the first thing we have to do is make the streets safe he hit a bull’s eye. Paul Janssen’s problem was that the drug dealers and their corrupt public official enablers put that bull’s eye on his back and began a multifaceted program to get him out and stop the revitalization.

The revitalization of Coatesville still depends on getting our streets safe.

If you hear plans to reduce the size of the Coatesville PD again, something that can only help the drug business, keep these numbers in mind:
