As part of our initial investigation of property related incidents, we recommend CAP Index to determine foreseeability and statistical comparability to the County, State, and US.  Pulling the FBI's Uniform Crime Report or reading through calls for service from the local police department is mind numbing.  The CAP Index compares the propensity for criminal activity of the target area to relative benchmarks.  I can review this concise report in a very short time to assist you in your case.  You will find few consultants who use this easy to read report
