Kilmartin ATTORNEY GENERAL 150 South Main Street Providence, RI 02903 (401) 274-4400 www.riag.ri.gov EY GEN RN E O R T A T L A S T D A N T A E L O S F I RHODE The Attorney General of Rhode Island is the attorney and advocate for the people of Rhode Island. Whether prosecuting a criminal case, defending the state in a civil forum, representing the public in a regulatory function, or serving as advisor, the Office exerts every effort to serve justice and the public interest within the confines of our adversary system. All employees discharge the privilege and honor of public service in this Office by: • upholding the Constitution and laws of the United States and of Rhode Island; • treating all persons with dignity, respect and fairness; • serving the people of this State with excellence and integrity; and • protecting the public interest and safety. Greetings; As Attorney General, it remains my first and top priority to uphold the laws of this state and protect each and every citizen, no matter race, religion, or economic background. To that end, the Office of Attorney General accomplished a great deal last year in meeting its obligations to the citizens of Rhode Island. In the past year, we continued to aggressively prosecute violent offenders in our communities, stepped up efforts to root out fraud and abuse in our social service safety net programs, and took steps to address the heroin and opioid crisis in our state.

'''..... ~E STATE OF RHODE ISLAND Q GOVERNOR'S ..JUSTICE COMMISSION REPORT N 28 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS CENTER (SAC) OCTOBER,1991 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BRIEF ANALYSIS OF YEAR 1990 erious crime in Rhode Island rose by 3.2% during 1990. Increases in every serious crime S category, except rape, contributed to this result. The annual total of serious crimes-53,630 is the highest result since year 1981 when 55,704 serious crimes were reported. In terms of violent crime results, the negative news is that robbery increased by 9% and assault increased by 19%. The only somewhat positive result is noted in the rape category which decreased by 7.6% (265 (reported) rapes/year 1989 versus 245 (reported) rapes/year 1990). As we have stated time and again, and is worth repeating here, the R.I. Rape Crisis Center experiences far more activity/reports, thus they generally assist/counsel twice as many victims as are reported to the law enforcement community. TREND ANALYSIS : Once again, Rhode Island experienced spiraling motor vehicle theft. For example, during the year 1990, approximately 370 more vehicles were stolen than in year 1989. Moreover, or perhaps more importantly, year 1990 signifies that this crime offense reached the highest plateau or rank over the last 20 year period analyzed by the SAC. According to national crime comparison statistics, Rhode Island ranked fourth highest in the nation in the motor vehicle theft rate category.

NEWPORT RHODE ISLAND Between this year and 1932, the US Patent Office would be receiving some 350 applications for new designs of water closet. Two of the first of these to succeed would be to designs by Charles Neff and Robert Frame of Newport, Rhode Island, who would imagine a siphonic wash-down closet that in later years, after redesign of the bowl by Fred Adee a decade later to avoid the messy overflows to which the design was prone, would become the norm of the nation.2 GOD IN THE JAKES WATER SUPPLY 1. “Recent” meaning in the course of this extended 20th Century.

ASSUMPICO COLONEL SUPERINTENDENT DIRECTOR DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY March 1, 2017 The Honorable Gina M. Raimondo Governor State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations State House 82 Smith Street Providence, RI 02903 Dear Governor Raimondo: I am pleased to provide you with the 2016 Rhode Island State Police Annual Report, my first since being named Superintendent in November. The Patrol Bureau continues its mission of enforcing the state's motor vehicle laws, including driving while impaired, speeding, aggressive and distracted driving, and the "move over" law. Troopers work with our federal, state, and local partners on enforcement, outreach, and education in an effort to improve safety on our roadways. The Detective Bureau is consistently called upon for its expertise. Detectives have had great success with drug-related investigations, child predator investigations, financial crimes, and computer crimes. The Gaming Enforcement Unit will be expanding its operations as a result of a new casino being built in Tiverton. The Special Investigations Unit and the Fusion Center provide expertise to detect, prevent, investigate, and respond to criminal and terrorist activity. The Community Outreach Program continues to make positive impacts. Programs includes outreach, education, recruiting, and sports. "Kids, Cops, & Classrooms" and "Kids, Cops, & Christmas" are statewide initiatives to provide school supplies and holiday gifts to area children.
