(Remember, Its Winder not Detroit)
I pulled the Crime stats from CrimeReport and over the last 30 days, Criminal Activity has been down in Winder, so only 14 stupid people were calling attention to themselves...

Or you can go/link from the Winder PD (City of Winder) Website. It is linkable from other agencies too (just saw it on Lawrenceville PD too).

Victor, What would be acceptable number of arrests by a single agency? By Winder PD? What would be the number you are expecting?
Since the 14 that the newspaper is publishing for this article is probably not the only thing going on overall with WPD, but it was what was released to the press, I still fail to understand why this is considered a "pathetic" amount to you, obviously you have some feeling about this number, but do you have any comparison figures from another agency or other agencies?
Hypothetically: If 14 per wk avg, 52 wks=728yr
Is there rampant crime in the City of Winder not being addressed in your opinion? (and if you beleive this to be the case, what have you personally done to assist the agency with this?)
Also, out of curiosity, Are you a city resident?
