Violent Crime In Flagstaff Down, Property Crime Up

Violent crime is down in Flagstaff by 11 percent. That includes assault, robbery, rape and homicide.

According the Arizona Daily Sun, the Flagstaff Police Department said they were able to reduce the number of sexual assaults by cracking down on alcohol related offenses, but they were not able to reduce the amount of property crime. There have been 25 arson cases in Flagstaff this year which is up 47 percent from last year.
