CRIME MAP ~

The Merriam Police Department has divided the city into grids. This allows us to track criminal activity and trends. The grids have been laid out into separate residential from business areas (as much as possible).

The table below the map will give you information on the number of criminal reports taken in each grid for the year 2007.  Persons Crimes are all crimes against people. These include: assaults, batteries, sex crimes, and other miscellaneous crimes.  Burglaries include all burglaries to businesses, homes and cars, along with thefts.  Auto Thefts are the illegal taking of motor vehicles. Drug Crimes include all crimes involving controlled substances or drug paraphernalia.  "Other" covers all crimes not listed in the previous mentioned categories.
