Fort Lauderdale Crime Information

Focus on Fort Lauderdale, a magazine published by the city, reported some interesting crime information that suggests that crime rate is down.
Overall crime in Fort Lauderdale is down by 7%, but juvenile arrests have increased by 21% and robberies that have been solved by an arrest, have also increased by 32%. This drop in overall crime is an effect of an Action Plan that was launched in August 1, 2005.
The Action Plan, that was established by the police department tactic unit and a national campaign designed to fill police occupations, involves a focus on new crime focus tools and enthusiastic policing.
Police arrested over 5,000 people and answered over 316,000 calls in the first 6 months of 2006.
