Some Omaha Crime stats
FarmerRick:
This is part of Omaha's application for funding for Fiscal Year 2011 Project Safe Neighborhoods program.

Quite a few good stats and graphs of different crimes in Omaha starting on page 10.
The last 2 sentances of the first paragraph on that page are very telling:
Data obtained from the US census Bureau indicates that Omaha's per-capita homicide rate is greater than that of many major US municipalities, including New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and San Antonio. Despite common misconceptions, Omaha does have a serious violent crime issue.
Poor Man:

In this same report you will read that Omaha's gun tracing costs are all paid by Project Safe Neighborhoods, and I will bet so are there costs for registration.
It also goes into great detail about the federal gun tracing system Omaha is a part of, but Chief Hayes apparently knows nothing about

I think what he means; "How do you find this ,um, stuff?" ???
I had to stop reading, I hate it when these people start playing with numbers and percentages. I found many instances where they compared percentage A (derived from years 1, 2,3) and compared it with percentage C (derived from years 3,4, and maybe 5) just depending on what numbers sounded scariest. According to the charts, Aggravated assult was up for the last 5 years (7.2%) and last year (5%) while Aggravated assult with GUN (aahahhh!) was down huge (15%) over the five year and (5%) last year.
Some how that equates to the next page where they state: "Much of the violent crime in Omaha is caused by using a firearm, by gang members, or both" Nice..
