Why is this important?
Property crime focuses on four offenses: burglary, theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson. The object of theft offenses is the taking of money or property without force or the threat of force against the victim. Local law enforcement feels that theft and burglary occurrences are good lead indicators of safety within the community. Property crime continued to decrease from 2006 to 2015 in both Wisconsin and Portage County. Portage County continues to have a property crime rate lower than the state average. The overall property crime rates continues to decline due to significant decreases in arson, theft, and burglary. Lower property crime rates help people perceive their community as a safer place to live.
