No crime is the best news, of course, but the second best is catching criminals. The total numbers for August are up but most categories were slightly down. There was a fairly large jump (percentage-wise) in Thefts. Many of those were for shoplifting, which means someone was caught.
 
Many of the thefts reported were not shoplifting and a number of those were in our neighborhoods. Our Neighborhood Police Officers would advise you to keep your garage and outside doors closed and locked and your cars outside locked. I couldn't support them more or agree more. Be neighborly: watch your neighbor's property too and call 9-1-1 if you see suspicious activities, exactly the things you'd want your neighbor to do for you.

[PS You might notice the graphics are a little sharper. We're using a different method to present the same data that is a bit faster to produce and more accurate. The data presented shouldn't be more accurate but the many lines of hand-coding used before was more likely to include an unnoticed typo.]
