JPD is finally releasing crime stats again, well sort of.
As one can see, the information provided is rather sparse but there is one interesting little tidbit. The report states JPD only made three felony arrests during the week of October 19-25. Yup. Three.
The so-called report does not mention murder, rapes, aggravated assaults, or carjackings. It doesn't even report crimes, just arrests. In other words, the reports are used to puff up JPD and not tell the public what the true picture of crime in Jackson is.
JPD posted crime statistics online until Chokwe Antar Lumumba became Mayor. Loathe to discuss crime, he quickly hid all crime statistics from the public. Now check out the crime report posted below. This is what Dr. Chief should be posting but don't hold your breath.
Oh well, at least JPD is posting something. Clinton stopped sending out crime press releases and mentioning crime stats in its newsletter when the new administration assumed office.

Come on KF, it's just a perception of crime. Right?
if we don't list the homicides then they didn't occur.
Fondren do you still feel safe?
