Brownwood Police Chief Mike Corley released crime statistics from the police department today for the month of September along with year-to-date numbers for 2009 and 2010.

Corley releases Brownwood Police Department crime statistics on a monthly basis as a new program to have a more transparent department to the public.  Corley stated that he also looks at these numbers to see where the department needs to focus.

Overall reported crime in Brownwood was down in September by almost 16 % compared to the previous month.   Year-to-date shows there is a slight decrease in reported crimes with a much larger number of these being cleared.
