There is a major outpoint in the stats, supported by the front line police not wanting to expose their lack of successful results. It does take a determined policeman/woman who monitors and records all the events and the success achieved - rare but superb when we see it. One major impact we can all make is participating in community efforts to observe and report events, such as community watch groups. It is our community we care about, so we do need to see this and care for our neighbours and friends.

In terms of crime stats, I expect MAVERICK et al to report more on this subject. The article above is a good view of obfuscation in place. Keep doing the great job you are!
