FBN: MC Safest City Numbers Still Not Adding Up (this blog reported on this almost 3 years ago)
Apparently the city believes it is ok to lower their crime rate by including areas not directly in the city limits (but in the ETJ areas). Some of these areas have rather large populations and are serviced by the Sheriffs office and not city police. If they are including these residents, it would tend to lower the rate of crime by inflating the base population numbers used. One other interesting point is the FBI crime stats depend on the cities to accurately self report.....
What's the motive? Your guess is as good as mine....
