This is almost entirely due to the fact that January was frigid. It's pretty well documented that cold temperatures reduce crime.

    "safest January on record" implies that the stats are being compared to the same time period of different years, no? Was this January that much colder than average?

    That makes sense, I was imagining the general 'feel good' nature of a charismatic and energetic candidate might have an effect on the public mood, police priorities, and general alertness.
