Don't log non-crime hate incidents, says head of police watchdog

Non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) are recorded by police to help assess community tensions and try to head off trouble. Some, most vocally on the political right, see this as a threat to free speech. Cooke, who leads HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services, said: I'm a firm believer that non-crime hate incidents are no longer required, and that intelligence can be gathered in a different way, which would cause less concern to the public and would make recording of such issues much easier for policing.

In February and March, there was a 16-day stretch with no reported homicides in the district. So the president is exaggerating again, and that wasn't his only false claim, guys, on the subject of D.C. crime.
