Default Crime in Comanche and area.

Hello Folks.

It appears that the crime rate in Comanche has doubled in the last four years. Mostly theft, burglary and auto theft. This is so darn sad.

Does this extend to the rual areas and lake Waurika?

Thank you very much, Jack

I live and work in the Comanche, Oklahoma, area. I think most of the crime is related to the high meth use in Stephens and Jefferson counties. I think the crime rise extends to all ares of southwest Oklahoma. I certainly see it in my job as a teacher because it is getting much harder to actually "teach" children today because so many of them come from homes with meth and other drug usage going on (which in turn leads to divorced households, jailed parents, etc.), and students today can't seem to focus on anything. (This doesn't even include the fetal alcohol syndrome children I deal with daily.) It is sad to see that Comanche and the surrounding areas have so many crime problems.

Yikes! I was considering a job in Wichita Falls and living in rural Stephens or Jefferson county. Is meth use in that area higher than surrounding areas?? I thought that Duncan-Marlow-Comanche areas were supposedly nice places to live, at least better than Lawton.

According to a law enforcement official that spoke at one of our teachers' meetings, Stephens County has the highest meth use of the 77 counties of Oklahoma.
