APD Public Incident DataThis dataset represents the Asheville Police Department (APD) data from the Record Management System (RMS). The dataset includes incidents beginning January 1, 2005 to current-date. Though APD strives to collect and disseminate police report information in a timely and accurate manner, limited quality checking has been completed from 2012 to current-date. Prior to 2012, APD has not quality checked the data. Moreover, it is not the best practice to use stale datasets; thus, APD recommends going back only 5-years for accurate analysis and trends. To go beyond 5-years is to invite erroneous interpretations of the data as the context behind the data has, perhaps, significantly changed. Crime classifications are based upon the North Carolina Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, which is part of a nationwide, cooperative statistical effort administered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Crime classification do not necessarily coincide with the criminal charges defined by the North Carolina General Statutes. Information reported to APD may be changed at a later date based upon additional investigations. Therefore, APD does not guarantee (either expressed or implied) the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or correct sequencing of the information contained herein and the information should not be used for comparison purposes over time. APD is not responsible for any error or omission, or of the use of, or the results obtained from the use of this information.This online site is an attempt to make it easier for citizens to access offense information. In disseminating this crime information, we must also comply with current laws that regulate the release of potentially sensitive and confidential information. To ensure that privacy concerns are protected and legal standards are met, report data is filtered prior to being made available to the public.
