Police Department
The Police Department collects crime statistics under their COMPSTAT system in order to better manage police resources and address constantly changing crime patterns. At the end of each month, the Police Department shares their information with COMSTAR and the Mayor's Office for analysis. The following table has crime data for the city through April, 2010. The same data for 2009 are included for comparison. It will be updated every month.
