The site used to correlate a lot more data - It would
rank the beats based on the most crime and least crime
as well as by a specific crime. For some reason they
only did this for about the first week the site was
up, then abruptly stopped doing it. I emailed the guy
who created the site in the past, but I never got an
answer.
My guess is they stopped at the request of some one-
more likely the mayor's office than CPD.
Incidentally, Beat 1213 ranked fairly low on overall
crime- even during a time period when cars
windows/tires were being destroyed on a daily basis.
