Parking Tickets Issued Higher in Kent Police's May Department Statistics
From drunken driving arrests, to rape, to the number of calls for service — the Kent Police Department recently shared its May statistics.
In comparing May 2012 to this May, many of the statistics released by the Kent Police Department recently are pretty much on par.
But, the most significant increase is that 123 more parking tickets were issued this May than in May 2012.
An area that shows a notable decrease from May 2012 to May 2013's report is in the uniform crime report section.
There were 16 fewer assault reports as compared to last May. There were 30 reported in May 2012 and 14 reported in May 2013.
Statistics for January through May are available on the Kent Police Department website.
