Default Sugar Land Crime Cover Up

As a resident of Sugar Land, I do not appreciate City Councilman Russell Jones making it difficult for Sugar Land residents and the media to access complete crime reports.

Sugar Land Crime Cover Up (http://www.fortbendnow.com/2010/05/13/45594 - broken link)

Please consider contacting Councilman Jones to make your opinion known.

His contact info is here.

The only way to fight crime is to acknowlege that it happens....

I had been wondering why a city the size of Sugarland doesn't offer the P2C (Police to Citizen) webpage to allow lookups of crime activity, when many other cities around Houston have it (even many much smaller than Sugarland).

Now I know why.

Yep, League City, Webster, Nassau Bay, LaPorte, Deer Park, and Alvin share a website: League City / Webster / Nassau Bay / Friendswood / Alvin / La Porte / Deer Park Police Departments P2C - provided by OSSI
It doesn't give the entire police report but enough to be able to see what is going on in your neighborhood and it covers every crime including speeding, dwi etc.

I heard something about this...that it seems a lot of crime is being covered up to keep Sugar Land on those "best places to live in the US" lists. Shame.

I wrote to the Sugar Land City Council and I got back a very long reply claiming that the FortBendNow investigative conclusions are "irresponsible and false." I am not convinced.

Has anyone tried the City of Sugar Land's new crime search tool (http://www.sugarlandtx.gov/police/services/daily_crime_report/index.asp - broken link)? I don't like it. The old reporting format was so much simpler and seemed more complete.

I can't remember if it was FortBendNow or another similar one, but one Fort Bend publication we dealt with in our civic group was terrible. Just screwing the story all up, bad reporting, typos and everything. Long-time residents told me it's always been that way. I think it was that publication, but this was a while back and I can't find the old emails. But if so, maybe he has a point.

Even so, yes, they need a better crime reporting tool.

But I'm not buying the conspiracy theory stuff. It may not all be totally accurate, but I don't think there's some huge cover-up.
