The fallout continues over thousands of incident reports suspended due to the lack of personnel.
“I think the credibility of previous statements by the city of Houston about ‘crime was going in the right direction,’ It’s been revealed that that was a spin,” Mayor John Whitmire said.
For aggravated assaults, HPD reports 4924 cases. However, 13,800 crimes were reported to NIBRS. That’s a difference of more than 8,000. For motor vehicle thefts, HPD reports 4566 cases. 11,969 cases were reported to NIBRS. That difference is more than 7,400. “We used to deal with the Uniform Crime Report, and that was numbers that went to the FBI from every state, every department, that was supposed to send it to this clearinghouse, who then discerned what the stats were,” Griffith said. “We switched to NBIRS, and I will say that may have been in 2018, and the reporting standards are different than they were from the Uniform Crime Report. So, I believe that that could be a reason,” he said.
