JUST RELEASED STATE DATA SHOWS MAPLEWOOD CRIME DOWN IN 2012

State officials last week released the uniform crime report for 2012. Yes, a year later.

Not sure why it takes them a year to compile the stats, but that is the case.

It indicates that violent crime in Maplewood dropped severely. 

Rape, robbery and burglary were all down, while simple assault was up

But it has no information on 2013, the most recent year.
