English (US)   Thieves Steal Good Crime Report  -  Categories: Police Department  -  @ 11:59:21 pm

All crime categories were down for November except thefts. A rash of thefts and shopliftings, mostly in the retail areas, inflated the district's monthly crime statistics.
 
I did receive reports of some neighborhood car burglaries that aren't reflected in the statistics. It is important anytime you are a victim of crime to report the incident. Report incidents to the police immediately. It may seem futile after the fact but officers and investigators are able to identify trends that might not otherwise be immediately apparent, such as the case earlier in the year with pick-up tailgate thefts.
 
Be safety conscious at all times. Report suspicious activities or persons. The non-emergency number is (972) 485-4840. Let's work to keep our families and neighbors safe!

Note: I have not published this crime report because I know there is at least one incident missing. I had placed a request for an updated report and planned to hold publishing until then. With the holidays, I have not received the update so I'm posting it now with the intent to correct it when I do get that information.
 
UPDATE: As suggested in the note above, the two murders previously reported were not included in the initial report data. That particular block where the murders occurred was not being included in the District statistics. It was a fluke but I wish I had learned of the problem any other way. The data above is now correct and the linked report has also been updated.
