Recent Crime Incident Trends
Over the last four weeks, violent crime incidents have dropped 28.1%. The decline is driven by a 21.0% decrease in assault related incidents and a 30.8% decrease in robbery incidents.
The 5.2% increase in property crimes is the result of an increase residential (11.8%) and commercial burglaries (23.5%).
The Downgrading of crime is greatly distorting the crime stats.
The only reason the numbers are down is because the Sheriff, Walt McNeil refuses to allow his staff to arrest certain criminals. Therefore it is not reported. Those criminals that are arrested, the State Attorney is dropping the charges. It is artificial deflation of the numbers. Tallahassee is not as safe as it used to be.
But do you feel safer?
