However, they are looking into this to ensure that the numbers are correct and that some of the numbers will be adjusted in the next quarter. Director Charles Eugene Murrell asked what happens to firearms that are collected and Chief Stringer responded that some are returned to their owner and in other instances they are ordered to be destroyed if their case is adjudicated. President Nicholas Rice stated that there is talk on social media that Baytown's crime rate is 87% higher than the national average and asked if this was true. Chief Stringer responded that he is not aware of the current national average but that Baytown is in the upper 50th percentile in Harris County, which is not the highest, but that they are working on addressing that and that their goal is to be one of the safest City in Harris County. Further Chief Stringer cautioned where the information came from and how the data was soused and that the reports provided by Baytown are done by our Intelligent Analysis who has been an Intel Analysis with the United States Maine Core and the Federal Government, and is highly qualified at what he does.
