Overall crime numbers were fairly normal this month. There was a small uptick in car break-ins, but nothing trend worthy. These were mostly spread out across the neighborhood in time and place. There were only 2 home break-ins this month, which is way below normal. Continue reading “June 2012 Crime Report”

Looking at the numbers below, we had a fairly good month statistically. We were well below average on most of the catagories that I track. But behind the numbers we had a couple pretty serious incidents, read on for more. The good news is that we only had 2 burglaries (home break-ins) this month throughout the entire neighborhood. This has been a focus of ours for a while and I hope to see this stay low. The bad news is that one of these burglaries occurred while the residents were at home but Continue reading “May 2012 Crime Report”

(See below) That’s with no ice storms and an extra day thrown in for leap year. That’s a record shattering great month for our residents, with only 7 total incidents across our 2500+ households. In fact it took me a little longer to get this report out this month, because I was certain there was a mistake in the data. But after triple checking everything, we were right on. According to Officer Keith, this was unique to our LGNA neighborhood. He tells me the number of crime incidents were actually slightly up in adjacent neighborhoods. Next month is yet to be seen, but let’s keep looking out for each other and keep this trend going!  Continue reading “February 2012 Crime Reports”
