Watch the story
Feb 22, 2012 at 6:47 PM EST

The number of violent crimes in Warner Robins held steady from 2010 to 2011, while the number of thefts jumped 23 percent.

That's similar to the trend Macon police reported, when they released their annual crime statistics last month and consistent with national numbers reported from...more police departments to the FBI.

Warner Robins Police Chief Brett Evans explained how they use the numbers to better protect the community.

Evans says crime numbers don't share the whole story, but provide police and the community with a snapshot of what's happening around them.

He said, "If they pay attention to the crime statistics. They can say, hey, our crime is staying at a good level. So, the money were spending is not going to waste."

From 2010 to 2011, homicides stayed the same with five. So did car thefts.

Rape, robbery and simple assault increased slightly.

Aggravated assault, burglary and arson cases decreased.
