British Policeman Says Prayer Stops Crime...Others Say "Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition."

In London, a police official has said that the crime rate in his district has been cut by praying. Roger Bartlett, a police Inspector believes that prayers have increased the apprehension rate, helped solve crimes, and as an added benefit, have reduced the number of car accident fatalities.

The prayers are done through organized citizen prayer meetings. They are conducted regularly.

The Inspector cited the following in support of his claim. After frequent prayer sessions with the public, the police did not have to answer a single disorderly Halloween night call. A frequent serial burglar who had evaded police was captured after prayers for his being caught. His district has one of the highest crime solving rates in the country.
And, road accidents dropped drastically after prayer for that to occur.  Another officer arranged prayer meetings and the burglary rate fell 30% over the following year.

The Christian Police Association is convinced enough on the power of prayer to say that there is circumstantial evidence to show that prayer reduces crime.

But, others here might say, Praise the Lord, and pass the ammunition..."  


A concealed handgun permit holder killed a home invader when he arrived home and found signs that a burglary was in progress. The homeowner used his revolver to kill 21 year old home invader Christopher Childress, who was shot in the chest. After Childress was shot, he ran a short distance onto the street where he collapsed.

Police believe that two more people were with Childress in the home. Police, who arrived in minutes when seconds count, believe one of Childress’ friends may have been shot also. They would not release the shooter’s name because they feared for his safety.

Childress’ family and friends left candles and written messages at the spot where he dropped.

In Ohio:

Anyone who owns a dog knows that when your dog is inside the house and becomes agitated and runs back and forth between your home’s windows, something’s up outside. And, that’s what happened late night at 3:45 a.m. one night last week when Ashtabula County, Ohio’s Michael Hommes’s dog did just that. Hommes let his dog outside. It was ready to protect his owner.

Hommes and his girlfriend inside heard three shots outside. As Hommes heard the sound of his back door being kicked in, he grabbed his large caliber handgun. He then saw a stranger standing in his home. Hommes shot at the man who ran from the house. He got into a four door Buick sedan and fled. Police aren’t sure if the home invader was hit. They have been checking area clinic and hospitals.  

The family pet was shot three times with a .45 caliber handgun, but will survive.
