I think this comparison is significant. The chart is a compilation of Candlewick's 2009 rates compared with 2010 occurrences as well as other surrounding area's rates for further comparison. In my opinion things are looking up in most areas but you be the judge. Be sure to note the increased reports in some areas of surveillance, showing the effect our neighborhood watch is having as well as the traffic stops. Nice.
The table was assembled from Route/Beat Analysis -Activity Reports 1/2010 through 8/31/2010 obtained from Boone County. Last year's was for Candlewick in the same period.
