Comment from Frank:

Well, the truly great thing about these statistics
is that they are "accurate" and they do not
have a political spin to it.  These are the actual
crime index reports that are filed locally. 
This means that they are "accurate" and
do not compare to how the KBI 
receives and reports the information. 
The drop in crime is REAL and it
is because the law enforcement
efforts throughout the county is well
organized, cooperative, collaborative
and willing to work together to reduce crime. "
