When Shirley Franklin took office in 2001, there were 1450 sworn police officers. When she left, there were 1,800.

You make a good summary of the situation.
Add an overlay of gun control and tougher measures for repeat offenders and that trend will continue nationally.

If you have any newer or audited stats I'd appreciate it.

I've given up trying to decipher anything the ADP or Mayors office puts out on crime rates as an exercise in futility since their statistics are rarely clear.

The purpose of the APD is to enforce the will of the politicians! Not serve and protect the people who are taxed to death to pay their salaries.
Posted by Jvoice]]> Sat, 17 Mar 2012 19:03:27 -0400 Creative Loafing Atlanta When we start using the census numbers Atlanta will again be classified as one of the worst cities in America for crime....Or you can continue to believe the Mayor's office and ADP press releases.
(btw does anyone have the numbers behind this survey or updated 2011 uniform crime reports?)

I'll bet that they didn't survey anyone in the Capitol View neighborhood. They probably focused on Buckhead.

Between this year and last year?
2 years ago?

Public safety still isn't where we all want it to be but ignoring facts because the trends don't match your emotions is just so suburban.

Michael "Brownie" Brown is doing a heck of a job according to its survey conducted with George W. Bush.
According to my reports most women find me irresistible, cool, and damn attractive.

The actual crime statistics (which I don't think we ever figured out the right math on), as well as various examples fly in the face of this oh-so-scientific survey.

"The city has made huge strides since the days of Bill Campbell." Considering it couldn't really have been any worse, that's not saying much.

No, it shows that the efforts to change the perception are paying off. Maybe crime has gone down.
