Windsor's crime rate is up this year, but Police Chief Al Frederick thinks 2015 will be an outlier.
There were three homicides, plus one investigation that carried over from late in 2014, not to mention a number of shootings and stabbings which have violent crime numbers higher than in previous years.
Frederick says an external satisfaction survey, performed through a third party, shows the public's perception of local crime is that they're more fearful than they've been in the past.
"We are actively engaged in some strategic planning to deal with that, and to reduce crime of course. We always look to prevent it (crime), but investigate it when it does happen and be very good at that as well."
The chief doesn't view the up-tick in crime this year as significant, because numbers had been trending downward for the last five years.
He expects to see a drop in crime in 2016.
