Crime in Kuna inched up in 2010, largely because of an increase in society crimes.

I am thankful for the protection and services offered by the Kuna police dept. I think a cost of $82.00 per resident per year is a good investment. Crime statistics may be up, but it seems our police officers have a handle on eliminating the problems and a 60% rate of achievements is not bad. Sure, could be better, but it has been worse, and it is improving. I like the response rate average of 2-3 minutes. We are growing, and crime grows too. Thank you to our officers for protecting us.
