INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Finance and Safety Committee
FROM: Don Lincoln, Assistant Police Chief
DATE: June 30, 2010
SUBJECT: Crime Reporting Proposal
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
We have received suggestions that the police department, through the Crime Analyst provide
basic crime reporting information and submit it through the city's website.
The police department's Crime Analyst produces periodic reports. These reports vary from
purely statistical reporting, to criminal trends to crime analysis. Some of this information, which
is already produced, may be of interest to both members of the community and other
representatives of the city. Providing this information either through the city's website or
through printed media might facilitate community understanding of some of the crime reported.
This narrowly defined area might list things such as robberies, burglaries, thefts etc and map
their location, date and perhaps time. A sample will be provided for discussion.
