SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - Chatham County Police Department is reporting a very busy 2020 and officers say 2021 is off to an equally busy start.
They held a community meeting for westside residents Wednesday night to give an update and answer questions.
In 2020, the department saw a decrease in property crimes and an increase in violent crime. In fact, non-domestic aggravated assaults went up drastically in 2020.
“We went from 35 in 2019 to 62 in 2020. We had 30 domestic aggravated assaults and homicides. Rapes and forced penetration were at 27 and robberies were at 31,” said Captain Susan Fandrich, Commander at West Chatham Precinct.
