La Vida ApreZIHada

As for me, I don't need to know all the grisly details. What I'm looking for are trends - are violence and crime rates up a little, down substantially, or about the same over a period of time, say six months? That way I have a better understanding of the circumstances and can plan accordingly.

We have no such thing as reliable local crime statistics (especially because most crime goes unreported), and I hope you understand I cannot tailor my reporting to suit everyone. I can only report on what I witness or hear about from reliable sources.
