"A crime in Raleigh occurs every 12 minutes."
"Despite serving North Carolina’s second-largest city, police in Raleigh earn about $23,000 a year less than officers in Charlotte. Six smaller North Carolina cities pay their officers more."
"Raleigh’s population has grown 13%"
Raleigh has a ratio of 1.89 police department staff per 1,000 population, while the average for the other cities is 2.65 police per 1,000 people. That means Raleigh’s police staffing is about 40% below the others on average.
