Caveat

The Weekly Crime Report shows totals based on the crimes reported for the previous week. Aside from homicides, counts are based on incident, not persons. Crime reporting and data entry can occur a month or more past occurrence of a crime, which can create a false reduction in crime in both property and violent crimes.

For a more accurate week-to-week or month-to-month comparison, or to compare a report to one from the same time period in a previous year, it is best to select reports issued between 30 and 60 days prior to the current date.

The only certified crime statistics are those contained in the UCR. Since UCR numbers are tallied at the end of each month, they can reflect late reporting and the reclassification or unfounding of crimes.
