As stated before on this very forum, the lack of crime statistics on the
city's web is due to program errors that were encountered in the beginning
of the year and then a reduction in staff within the CODEFOR Unit, the
police department section tasked with crime statistics, which has prevented
the timely release of information to the public. Skills sets have been
transferred to the remaining staff and the publication of these figures will
resume soon.
The Chicago model is quite impressive, and there are others equally so. It
is what I am trying to steer towards: a more transparent and accessible set
of crime figures. It's not for lack of imagination, its lack of funding.
Until then, I use the tools that are available.
It is categorically not the result of the implied duplicity.
Few have taken advantage of the prior offers, but if you need crime
statistics you can call or email me. You need only ask.
