Crime you ask? Well yes, there actually happens to be some crime in Bellevue. The city of Bellevue has posted the FBI’s crime results for the first half of 2007. Impressively there were no homicide cases in the first half of 2007!
The most notable stat is that Bellevue’s violent crime is down to 64 incidents in the first half of 2007, compared to 98 in 2006 (violent crime includes murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault…yes, the bad ones).
Linda Pillo, the recently hired police chief in Bellevue, has a tall order to improve or at least maintain the high level of safety not only in Bellevue, but in the Downtown Bellevue area and its growing nightlife scene.
We took some of the stats from the report, and gave them to you in more of a graphical representation:

BPD is a great department!
I like that BPD is trigger-friendly.
Bellevue is by FAR the safest large city in WA. Please keep the bums and thugz in Seattle, let us be clean and safe.
