 According to the Kentucky State Police annual statewide crime report overall serious crime rates dropped over 10 percent in 2022. Alongside the state, Floyd County also saw a drop in serious crime. We're pretty much with the trend in across Kentucky that we've seen a lower rate in serious crimes, part one crimes, armed robberies, murders. Now you take away our instant that we were involved in. Other than that, you know, we stand really good with our part one crimes or armed robberies, murders. Property crimes is even down, a decrease in some property crimes, the burglaries. We still have some thefts, don't get me wrong, we have our theft. I don't think I've seen a decline in, but we were glad to see that our overall crime rate has decreased.

Across the state, there's been a 6.9% decrease in homicide arrests and nearly a 6% decrease in arrests for robberies. I would attribute some of it to a lot of our prevention treatment programs. We've seen a big increase in those programs over the last couple of years. I think our court systems are mandating a lot of those treatment programs to be, you know, somebody to go through treatment and then it's working. So I hope that's, I hope it's a big attribute to that that are some of our drug addicts are getting cleaned. Treatment centers are working. Jail programs are working. Obviously, we still have a lot of low level dealers and local people that live here, but trying to set up a good border that we're stopping from is some of these outsiders from coming in from Louisville, Detroit or wherever they're coming from to our region. I think it's helping to keep down some of that. So it's a number of things that goes into some of these enforcement actions to try to decrease, obviously, your serious crimes and then you try to focus on some of your smaller crimes as you go. Other categories that saw a decrease include fraud, human trafficking, pornography and obscene material and prostitution offenses. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Kelcey Dean.
