Crime report database

Violent crime in El Monte was up 9.2 percent; the national average saw a 1.4 decrease.
Norwalk saw a 7 percent increase in violent crime. Most of the increases in both cities can be attributed to assaults.

I could never understand why the FBI makes a big press release about crime stats 6 months old, this is June 2008, what about the 1st quarter of 2008?. Do we have to wait until Thanksgiving for the that?, are they still using 'dial-up'computers?

Actually, they're still at 300 baud.

Seems that new crime blog on right side-bar "Bank Terrorism Alerts" has about a 6 month jump on the FBI stats.
