oldb77 - that is actually what I was reffering to, that not all parts of Rocky Mount are bad. I have been to some pure hell holes in just about every City/Town. They exsist no matter how "clean" you think the place is. But for it's size the overall crime rate is comparable to other Cities of its size. Actually it is 3 times lower than Raleigh and Durham as far as Violent crimes..

All of Rocky Mount isn't bad. I shop there. Even went to the movies yesterday in Rmt. I don't go out at nite, so I do not know what it is like then. Some places I know not to go to. But I figure it is that way in every town.

Rocky Mount is no different than other cities its size? Thats a bunch of bull. Last time I checked, per capita it ranks right up there with Fayetteville and Durham for violent crimes. Rocky Mount crime statistics from 06/07 compared to the previous 2 years show Rocky Mounts violent crime offenses were among the worst in the state. The state averaged a .7% decrease while Rocky Mount had a 15% increase in violent crimes. Although non violent property crimes decreased by 14% which was better than any other city in the state.

Rocky Mount is no different than any other city of comparable size. The only thing Rocky Mount and the Media is doing with the numbers is providing proof of result so the Street Engagement Team can continue to be funded. If you noticed that some of those "70" some arrest included loud music, that is because the City reports all citations issued as an Arrest. So the number is actually inflated and someone is trying to get funding raised for the department, which if I am not mistaken the Fiscal year ends this month? Right on time..
