Item 3 Crime Report
Each month the Salt Lake City Police Department prepares a report of criminal activity for each Community Council area. Statistics show that crime is lowered in part, due to good citizens keeping a watchful eye on our homes and streets and reporting concerns to our SLC Police officers in a timely way.
The total offenses in our community for the month of February 2010 decreased from 37 to 29. Specifically: auto thefts went from 1 to 1, burglary incidents from 10 to 4, car prowls from 2 to 2, and damaged property reports went from 19 to 18, this number includes damage to businesses, homes, cars and graffiti damage. We have shared only 6 of the 10 areas that are reported monthly. The full report may be viewed by going to www.slpd.com then click on Crime Maps and Statistics and choosing Community Council Report. The March report will be on line the first week of April.
I have included February’s running list of the Community Council Crime Report Totals so you can see how we are doing compared to the rest of the city:
1,2,3,6,6,7,7,7,7,8,23,27,29,31,37,37,49,58,66,72,77,88,101,110
