Crime Way Down for Georgetown in the First Quarter of 2010
With the unfortunate exception of stubbornly persistent robberies, overall crime was way down for Georgetown during the first quarter of 2010. The largest declines came from theft from autos.
GM guesses that the largest single factor for the reduction was the historic snow fall in February. Too bad we can’t have one of those storms every quarter.

_________1Q 2010 1Q 2009__%Change
Total________172 220 -21.82
Theft ________103 122 -15.57
Burglary ______17 22 -22.73

Theft F/ Auto __25 48 -47.92(!)
ADW _________9 8 12.50
Stolen Auto ____5 9 -44.44

The Circulator is supposed to come every ten minutes, but it’s not always on schedule. So it’s worth it to check before heading out. Continue reading
