Last week, Chief Hurtt held a press conference to discuss 2008 crime statistics.
Most local media outlets only regurgitated his comments, without any detailed reporting on the numbers, but KTRH-740 has helpfully posted a table of the raw numbers.
While there is some good news in these numbers, obviously there is room for improvement.
As candidates gear up for municipal elections, we hope they are preparing for a robust discussion of Houston’s crime problem, the leadership at HPD, and proven approaches to crime like CompStat.
