Hurricane Season 2010
Hurricane season began officially on June 1, 2010. We would urge all residents to make sure they have an evacuation plan should our area be threatened, and emergency supplies on hand should they have to weather a storm. Added to the right hand side of the page are a series of links from the Pasco County Emergency Management Center to better help you prepare.The majority of the City of New Port Richey is in a Level A or Level B evacuation zone -- meaning that should a storm threaten our area, those residents will be among the first to evacuate. Make arrangements now.

Crime is DOWN in New Port Richey!
The New Port Richey Police Department recently calculated our annual crime statistics and has submitted them to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The data submitted reflect crime and criminal activities that are known and reported to law enforcement and reported to us for calendar year 2009.
We are happy to report that for calendar year 2009, the New Port Richey Police Department recorded a reduction of 8.4% in total offenses. Included in those calculations are a reduction of 20% in forcible sex offenses, a 22.4% reduction in burglary, 50.7% reduction in motor vehicle theft, and a 16.8% reduction in aggravated assaults. For calendar year 2009, the New Port Richey Police Department made 1,154 arrests for a clearance rate of 30.7%. A clearance rate is used to gain a sense of what percentage of criminal cases are being successfully resolved. In respect to 2009, the New Port Richey Police Department had a clearance rate significantly higher than the semi-annual 2009 state average of 25.6% and a state average of 23.5% in 2008.
The police department also spends considerable time investigating traffic crashes. In calendar year 2009, we investigated 260 long form crashes (long forms are based on extent of damage and injury). Of those there were 158 crashes with serious injury with a total of 252 total reported injuries. There were also 5 crashes that resulted in a fatality. This is an increase from 2 in 2008.
The combination of crash and crime data depicts a police department that is among the busiest of our size in the entire State of Florida. We maintain our level of service because of high quality personnel that are well trained and well equipped.

Lock It or Lose It!
The New Port Richey Police Department would like to encourage citizens to secure their unattended vehicles. Burglary and theft are crimes of opportunity, and leaving your vehicles unlocked makes it that much easier for thieves to strike. Remember, by locking your doors and hiding valuables out of sight in the trunk, you dramatically decrease your chances of being a victim.LOCK IT OR LOSE IT!
