We have updated the Frankford crime map with the most recent information provided by the police department, published in the Northeast Times this week. The police still provide no information on sexual assaults or attempts which we think is valuable information for citizens to have. Next month we’ll begin compiling a new map for the next 3 months as a way to see the trend. You will find the map to the left on the list of pages.

Frankford Crime Map
Thanks to the Northeast Times, who is publishing the crime log every other week, we have been able to update the map and now have data for the past 6 weeks. This is a link to the map. It is interesting, to say the least. Better to be informed and know what we are up against. The police will say that statistics show a decline in most crime and that may be the case. To me it seems to be spreading to areas that we did not previously find it. No corner of Frankford is immune. We are all in this together and solutions are needed now.
