April 2019 Statistics
April 2019 statistics compared to April 2018 statistics show
a 24 percent decrease in “Calls for Service” and an 82 percent increase in
traffic accidents.
What are “Calls for Service?” This is ANY incident or
concern in which you may call us for when you are in need of assistance.
Traffic "contacts" had a 12 increase compared to
the month of April last year. We issued 427 citations and 699 warnings. (On
some contacts more than one warning or citation is issued.) These numbers
reflect our interest to educate and remind people of what their
responsibilities are on the roadway and to make our community a safer place to
drive, bike and walk.
“Part One Crimes” for the month of April 2019 compared to
the month of April 2018 stayed the same with no Homicides, no Sexual Assaults,
no Motor Vehicle Thefts, no Aggravated Assaults, No Robberies and no Arson.
Burglaries decreased from one (1) last April to zero (0) this April (homes
under construction.) Thefts increased from five (5) to six (6.)
Part One Crimes are essential quality of life crimes that
have adverse effect on the community. These crimes are the most serious
offenses against the community. These crimes are based on what “city crime
rates” reflect, based on population.
