The City of
Joliet Police Department now has different sectors. When comparing
the sectors below, keep in mind that crime rates are influenced by many
factors, including population and zoning. A higher number of
incidents in a certain area may be the result of more residents, the
presence of a hospital, or popular business sector. Below are number of
each type of reported crime for the first six months of 2007. |

As discussed
in each of the individual sector pages, calls for service are not a good
measure of the crime rate, but rather can be used as another method of
describing the police activity in various sectors. Below is a
comparison of calls for service and reported incidents for each sector. |
