- π METRO's website is currently displaying incomplete crime statistics for major crimes, with the last update in 2024.
- β οΈ A METRO spokesperson confirmed that the online numbers are incomplete due to a change in how crimes were reported under the previous administration.
Reporting Discrepancies Explained
- π Previously, crimes on METRO property within Houston city limits were reported by the Houston Police Department.
- πΊοΈ Only incidents occurring outside city limits were included in METRO Police crime statistics, leading to a significant omission of data.
- π This omission potentially skewed the data regarding total crimes and crime rates per ridership.
Future Corrections and Updates
- β METRO's police chief has pledged to correct the numbers to reflect all crimes across the transit system.
- ποΈ The updated statistics are expected to be available online early next week.
- π€ The investigation into the incomplete stats was conducted by Jeremy Rogowski, with further updates promised on air, online, and on the KU11 Plus app.
