Orlando Sees Dramatic Drop in Crime Rate

Posted on December 23rd, 2009 No Comments

According to a new report by the FBI, Orlando saw the biggest decrease in crime rate of any US city in 2009.  The FBI found that the violent crime rate in Orlando in 2009 has dropped 30% compared to the same time last year.

Murders and rape have both significantly declined, and the number of robberies has been cut almost in half. While these numbers are very encouraging, not all crime is down; arson has seen a marked increase in 2009, almost tripling. While there were 13 cases during the first six months of 2008, there were 33 cases in the same period in 2009.
