Where are the sexual assaults and/or rapes reported? On and off campuses? Do campus reports tie in to the afore-mentioned statistics? What is encompassed under the property robberies? Walmarts and such? What about crimes against children and elderly more specifically?
Why is the ABSOLUTELY no transparency when it comes to the actual breakdown of occurrences? Not enough manpower? I’m all in… give me the info and I will break it down to better advise our neighborhoods!!!
What about compares to 2022? Did crime go up then down? What about further back?
