Sioux Falls, SD (KELO-AM) The amount of violent crime in Sioux Falls last year stayed about the same as in 2012, despite the city's growth.
Police spokesman Sam Clemens says that burglaries and aggravated assaults were up somewhat, but other than that, overall violent crime statistics were either down a little or stayed level in 2013.
