Statistics Uphold Sheriff’s Promise For Better North End Coverage, Showing Lower Crime Rates The culmination of a campaign promise made by Mason County Sheriff Casey Salisbury to have a full time North Precinct demonstrates a drop in crime in the north end of Mason County. The specific statistics are as follows, comparing 2013 to 2014. 2013 2014 Arson 1 0 100% Decrease Assault 20 28 Increase by 8 Burglary 249 149 40% Decrease Homicide 1 2 Increase by 1 Theft 252 203 19% Decrease Motor Veh. Theft 47 43 8 ½ % Decrease Rape 6 1 83% Decrease Robbery 5 3 40% Decrease Another highlight shows that out of 17,805 calls for service, there were only 54 use of force situations, meaning that Mason County Deputies only had to use force, less than a third of a percent of all of the contacts made. This statistic is well below the average across the state and in the USA. Sheriff Salisbury stated that it has been many years in the making, but that the credit goes to the Deputies and Volunteers working 24/7 to serve the citizens of Mason County. Having assigned north end Deputies, a North Precinct facility and a Chief Deputy specifically assigned to coordinate all operations in the north end of the county makes a huge difference. Sheriff Salisbury continued that the professionalism and dedication to serving and protecting the citizens is because of the Chief Deputy, Sergeants, Corporals, Deputies and Volunteers of the North Precinct.
