Index crime statistics comparing 2016 to 2017 in Florissant show an overall reduction of 4%.<\/p>\n<p>The reported crimes are broken down in to two categories, Part I and Part II Crimes. Part I Crimes include Homicide, Rape, Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Burglary, Stealing, Motor Vehicle Theft and Arson. Part II Crimes include Simple Assault, Property Damage, and Sex Offenses (other than Rape).<\/p>\n<p>Chief Lowery attributed the drop in crime to the officers who diligently patrol the streets of Florissant and the Investigators who are identifying and getting charges on repeat offenders. Lowery said that a key component to the decrease was the close partnership the Police Department has with the Citizens of Florissant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCrime prevention through community involvement is how the residents of Florissant continue to help the police department. It\u2019s their eyes and ears within the neighborhoods that help continue to make the neighborhoods of Florissant safe.\u201d said Chief Lowery. \u201cI encourage the residents to keep calling the police to report any suspicious activity as it is occurring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/City-of-Florissant-logo.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-18943 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/City-of-Florissant-logo-300x284.jpg?resize=300%2C284\" alt=\"City of Florissant logo\" width=\"300\" height=\"284\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/284;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chief Timothy J.
