Crime On The Rise In Bismarck

I find it as no big surprise - when I grab a paper or turn on the TV I am seeing more and more reports of crime here in Bismarck.  In 2012 crime in our area was up 16.91% from 2011 statistics which equals an extra 2,063 crimes!

Their are many reasons for the increase including an influx of people in the community and  Bismarck continues to get busier each year. I am really hoping we can turn back the crime trend, one of the many upsides of living here is the low crime!
