Preliminary 2013 Crime Statistics
The Kernersville Police Department is pleased to provide these
preliminary crime statistics. These are preliminary in that a variety of
continuing review and verification must occur by KPD and other
entities.
Some significant aspects include a drop in serious (Part 1) violent
crime of over 17%; a drop in all Part 1 crime of almost 10%; and an
overall drop in all reported crime of 9.47%. The number of crimes in
2013 is the lowest in the last 4 years. Most importantly, there were
346 fewer victims in 2013 than compared to 2012. While we have
experienced significant drops in most crime, and in crimes overall,
there are some increases. Robbery, Burglary, and Auto Theft have
increased. While there are a variety of factors that impact crime, the
auto theft increases are largely a result of thefts of motor scooters,
which are counted as motor vehicles.
The dedicated men and women of the Kernersville Police Department
will continue to focus on crime and the factors that contribute to
crime. We will be diligent and relentless in enhancing the quality of
life for all citizens. We will continue to work with our citizens and will
increase the amount of positive citizen interaction and community
outreach to make Kernersville an even better place to live, work, and
play. Our citizens share in this success as they have helped with this
crime reduction by being more aware of surroundings and activities;
taking preventive steps like locking cars; and by reporting anything
suspicious.
This partnership has resulted in a safer
community. Together we will continue to enhance our quality of life.
