About these numbers

  • The city's own published statistics may differ: CBI counts some offenses once per victim, while many cities count once per case.
  • Reported crime reflects what is reported to police and how it is recorded, not only how much crime occurs.
  • Police spending here is FY2016, the government’s fiscal year; crime, clearances and staffing are calendar year 2016.
