Why is the City of Houston not Publishing Monthly Crime Data By Street And Police Beat?

Is this a John Whitmire directive? For several years, I have used the data to keep our neighborhood appraised of crimes reported to the police and compare it with crimes that I became aware of that are not reported. The last update was January 31st of this year, 2024.

An example would be cars that were burglarized. Most people will only bother calling the police if they need to for insurance. A broken window typically does not cost more than the deductible, assuming they have that type of coverage.

The NIBRS Data by street is updated monthly in one aggregated data file and presented in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The files should be downloaded and saved to your computer for viewing, searching, etc. You must have Microsoft Excel installed on your computer to view these files. Each month’s stats are posted approximately 1-2 weeks from the end of the month. Source
