Chincoteague's crime rate has fallen according to a new state report. The Crime Analysis report says there were 148 serious crimes committed in 2008. That's actually 64 fewer crimes than in 2007. The police department says there have been no layoffs in the force and that has helped them keep a stronger presence in the community. "We have a lot of houses that are only occupied during certain times of the year, so when they're empty we keep a closer eye on those," Chincoteague Assistant Police Chief Randy Mills. The Chincoteague Police department plans to unveil a "neighborhood Program" program June 3rd. The Assistant Chief says it will help raise awareness on criminal activity in the town.
Has anyone ever seen a yearly crime report for Pocomoke?
