We are number 8 out of 10 for 2012 on murders.
We even beat Los Angeles, Houston, and Atlanta all these areas have major gangs.
I worked in Los Angeles that is sad we beat LA!

No place to live in Baton Rouge that doesn't have major crimes.
Got same issues with rental property in Southdowns and Capital Heights as I do in Red Oaks. Lose good tenants to amount of crime in the area, so they move from Baton Rouge. All their districts have more crime than outside the city limits.

One day we will get our city back when we get rid of the city police and go to one department. Right now the City Police do not work with the Sheriff or Constables office very well.
