In 2017 there were 87 person-related offenses and 382 property-related offenses which decreased from 96 person-related offenses and 491 property-related offenses in 2016, according to the Lake Country RCMP.
鈥淎lthough the persons-related offenses continued to decrease in January 2018 compared to January of 2017, property crime climbed in that first month of the new year,鈥� said Cpl. Jesse O鈥橠onaghey, communications officer for the 91大黄鸭 RCMP.
Crime rates decrease or increase based on a variety of factors, he said, 鈥渆xperience has also shown that by arresting even one prolific offender it can have a significant positive impact on crime rates.鈥�
RCMP detachments develop intelligence-led plans to address local community needs, he said.
