We have updated the crime map page with data from 4/13 to 4/26/09. I was curious about how this compared with last year at the same times so I ran took the data for 2008 for comparison.
- Homicide in 2008 = 1, 2009 = 0
- Robbery in 2008 = 12, 2009 = 16
- Aggravated assault in 2008 = 20, 2009 = 21
- Burglary in 2008 = 27, 2009 = 9
- Crimes with guns in 2008 = 8, 2009 = 7
- Crimes with knives in 2008 = 5, 2009 = 1
- Crimes using some other weapon in 2008 = 5, 2009 = 13
Well, we are down in homicide so far this year. That is a big improvement. Not sure where all the burglars have gone. Maybe a convention somewhere. We’ll see if they return on our next update.
