In 2018 Ellick had a violent crime rate higher than BR or Nola. 


While this is true, it was traditionally confined to about an 8 block area around lower Third Street. The issue people have is that it is spreading. However, APD, an already small department, is down something like 45 officers. The trend isn't likely to change anytime soon, so prepare accordingly.

This has generally been true (specific size does vary) everywhere, When left unchecked it always spreads eventually. I also believe the idea of "we have more serious crimes to deal with" is part of the problem. It breeds an attitude of "the police won't do anything, anyway".

Or maybe I'm just a crotchety old man
