Violent crime rose in three
local cities from 2013 to 2014,
according to the latest crime
statistics from the FBI, while
property crimes fell overall.
But police leaders cautioned
not to read too much into the
numbers.
The FBI’s Uniform Crime
Reporting Program relies on
information from more than
18,000 law enforcement agen-
cies in the U.S. The report the
FBI provided Monday shows
Boardman, Milton-Freewater
and Hermiston reported more
violent crime than the year
before.
Boardman rose from eight
reports in 2013 to 11 in 2014;
Milton-Freewater from seven
to 21; and Hermiston from 18
to 38. Pendleton had a drop in
violent crime, from 54 reports
in 2013 to 38 last year.
Pendleton also had a big
drop in property crime, from
801 reports in 2013 to 471 in
2014. Pendleton police Chief
Stuart Roberts stated in an
email property crime nation-
wide was down 5 percent, but
why Pendleton saw such a big
drop is dif¿cult to pinpoint.
He speculated it could
be due to Measure 57,
the voter-approved law
for mandatory sentencing
of repeat property crime
offenders, or better work with
parole and probation of¿cers
that resulted in more jail
detentions, or more aggres-
sive prosecution.
Property crimes fell in
Boardman from 84 to 53 and
in Hermiston from 575 to 466.
Milton-Freewater,
though,
according to the FBI, had an
increase, from 316 to 358.
Roberts reiterated he is
“not a big statistic guy.”
The data help identify and
verify trends, he said, but the
numbers in the FBI report
“are merely a snapshot of our
overall activity.”
The FBI reports on eight
crime categories, Roberts
pointed out, while Pendleton
police monitor 178 types of
incidents and crimes.
Hermiston police Chief
Jason Edmiston said in an
email stats are a gauge his
department uses to try to
identify trends and deploy
resources in combat those
trends, but “stats are not the
end all, be all.”
He pointed out the FBI
report has different ¿gures for
several crimes for Hermiston.
The city had 12 robberies,
69 burglaries, 360 thefts, and
zero arsons, according to the
FBI, but Edmiston reported
14 robberies, 75 burglaries,
388 thefts and two arsons.
The FBI also reported
20 aggravated assaults in
Hermiston, more than half the
of the city’s violent crime, but
according to Edmiston there
were eight. And crimes that
happen years ago can count
now, he explained, such as a
rape case, in which the victim
came forward in 2013 and
reported the crime happened
in 2008. That goes down,
though, as a 2013 crime.
“I’m not sure there is
a rhyme or reason for the
discrepancies,” he stated,
and that is why he likes to
use a quote from American
humorist Evan Esar when
talking about statistics:
“Statistics: The only
science that enables different
experts using the same ¿gures
to draw different conclusions.”
