Crime statistics down in Klamath Falls

Klamath Falls, Ore. – Klamath Falls Police Chief David Henslee says statistics for 2016 are in, and crime is down.

Chief Henslee briefed city council members at a work session Monday night.

Henslee says overall crime is at a 7-year low. “We’ve seen significant decrease in our crimes against people, which is great – so our violent crime is significantly down.  We’re around 24% reduction in crimes against people this year.”

Henslee says analysis of crime trends, and a more personal approach by officers are two factors that are paying dividends.

The Chief says he plans to brief the council on drug team progress next month.
