Theft is top crime in Murphy

by | Mar 24, 2022 | Latest

With the exception of theft, most reported crime remained largely the same in 2021 for the city of Murphy.

Murphy Police Chief Chris Chandler said in Texas, law enforcement agencies report crimes to the Department of Public Safety and the information is relayed to the FBI as part of the Uniform Crime Reporting system.

Typically, Chandler said Part 1 offenses, which are considered to be more serious crimes, are used to determine a city’s crime stats.

Part 1 crimes include murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny (theft), motor vehicle theft, arson, family violence and hate crimes.
