Tom- good break down of the stats in Memphis.
I live in North Fort Worth and always read through the Quarterly briefs by the Fort Worth PD. I think the information should be mandatory. Another great resource is on
www.crimemapping.com which you can tailor to get a broad overview of the area you live in.
I do have a question- on crimemapping.com I am able to find an incident number, which I can input in to the FWPD database and get a tiny brief. How does a civilian go about getting more details on the entire incident? I would like to read the entire brief in order to better understand what happened. I think as a concealed carrier- it is important for all of us to understand the stats around crime. In the Ft Worth area- just based on a 30 second map analysis, you can see that almost every homicide occurred inside the 820 loop or right on the border.
