WSTC/WNLK Newsroom @ January 28, 2009 12:41 PM


According to a preliminary FBI report, the city of Stamford has endured a 32% rise in violent crimes for the first half of 2008 in comparison to the first half of 2007.This data comes despite a nationwide statistical drop in violent crimes.

Lieutenant Sean Cooney, lead department spokesman says it's necessary to place the numbers in perspective, saying that despite the increase, the number is still relatively low given the cities 100,000 plus population.
