Each record in this dataset shows information about an arrest executed by the Chicago Police Department (CPD). Source data comes from the CPD Automated Arrest application. This electronic application is part of the CPD CLEAR (Citizen Law Enforcement Analysis and Reporting) system, and is used to process arrests Department-wide.

A more-detailed version of this dataset is available to media by request. To make a request, please email dataportal@cityofchicago.org with the subject line: Arrests Access Request. Access will require an account on this site, which you may create at https://data.cityofchicago.org/signup. New data fields may be added to this public dataset in the future. Requests for individual arrest reports or any other related data other than access to the more-detailed dataset should be directed to CPD, through contact information on that site or a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

The data is limited to adult arrests, defined as any arrest where the arrestee was 18 years of age or older on the date of arrest. The data excludes arrest records expunged by CPD pursuant to the Illinois Criminal Identification Act (20 ILCS 2630/5.2).

Department members use charges that appear in Illinois Compiled Statutes or Municipal Code of Chicago. Arrestees may be charged with multiple offenses from these sources. Each record in the dataset includes up to four charges, ordered by severity and with CHARGE1 as the most severe charge. Severity is defined based on charge class and charge type, criteria that are routinely used by Illinois court systems to determine penalties for conviction. In case of a tie, charges are presented in the order that the arresting officer listed the charges on the arrest report. By policy, Department members are provided general instructions to emphasize seriousness of the offense when ordering charges on an arrest report.

Each record has an additional set of columns where a charge characteristic (statute, description, type, or class) for all four charges, or fewer if there were not four charges, is concatenated with the | character. These columns can be used with the Filter function's "Contains" operator to find all records where a value appears, without having to search four separate columns.

Users interested in learning more about CPD arrest processes can review current directives, using the CPD Automated Directives system (http://directives.chicagopolice.org/directives/). Relevant directives include:

The Metropolitan Police Department collects race and ethnicity data according to the United States Census Bureau standards (https://www.census.gov/topics/population/race/about.html). Hispanic, which was previously categorized under the Race field prior to August 2015, is now captured under Ethnicity. All records prior to August 2015 have been updated to “Unknown (Race), Hispanic (Ethnicity)”. Race, ethnicity and gender data are based on officer observation, which may or may not be accurate.MPD cannot release exact addresses to the general public unless proof of ownership or subpoena is submitted. The GeoX and GeoY values represent the block location (approximately 232 ft. radius) as of the date of the arrest and offense. Arrest and offense addresses that could not be geocoded are included as an “unknown” value.Arrestee age is calculated based on the number of days between the self-reported or verified date of birth (DOB) of the arrestee and the date of the arrest; DOB data may not be accurate if self-reported, and an arrestee may refuse to provide his or her date of birth. Due to the sensitive nature of juvenile data and to protect the arrestee’s confidentiality, any arrest records for defendants under the age of 18 or with missing age are excluded in this dataset.The Criminal Complaint Number (CCN) and arrest number have also been anonymized.This data may not match other arrest data requests that may have included all law enforcement agencies in the District or all arrest charges. Arrest totals are subject to change and may be different than MPD Annual Report totals or other publications due to inclusion of juvenile arrest summary, expungements, investigation updates, data quality audits, etc.

Context

This dataset consists of public records requests made by the Washington Post to police departments that oversee security at each NFL stadium.

Content

Twenty-nine of the 31 jurisdictions provided at least partial data, though reporting methods differed from agency to agency; Cleveland and New Orleans did not submit data. Certain data were omitted if found to be incomplete or unreliable. Among those jurisdictions sending partial arrest figures for home games between 2011 and 2015 were Buffalo, Miami and Oakland. St. Louis provided only year-by-year arrest data, rather than game-by-game numbers. Detroit, Minneapolis and Atlanta did not provide data for arrests that took place in stadium parking lots.

The main dataset includes fields such as the day of the week, which teams were playing on which home field, and the score of the game, between 2011 and 2015.

Inspiration

• Which stadiums had the most arrests? The least?
• Are arrests more likely when the home team lost a game? Does the score correlate with number of arrests? (For example, if the game ended in a narrow loss for the home team, does this correlate with more arrests?)
• Are there any stadiums with consistent arrest rates, regardless of how the game ended?

Acknowledgements

Data was collected and reported by Kent Babb and Steven Rich of the Washington Post, and the original dataset can be found here.

Of the ******* arrests in England and Wales in 2024/25, the most common type of offence that people were arrested for was violence against the person, with almost ******* people arrested for this type of offence.

Arrest Data - Reported Number of Arrests by Crime

This dataset contains the monthly number of reported arrests for various offenses reported by participating law enforcement agencies from 1995. The arrests are by offense and broken down by age and sex or age and race. Not all agencies report race and/or ethnicity for arrests but they must report age and sex. Note that only agencies that have reported arrests for 12 months of the year are represented in the annual counts that are included in the database. Download this dataset to see totals of reported arrests for the nation from 1995–2016.

The counts of arrests are derived from information transmitted from law enforcement agencies to the Division of Criminal Justice Services Computerized Criminal History database for fingerprintable offenses.An adult arrest is defined as an arrest of a person 16 years old or older or a juvenile offender prosecuted in adult court. Fingerprintable offenses (defined in Criminal Procedure Law §160.10) include any felony, a misdemeanor defined in the penal law, a misdemeanor defined outside the penal law which would constitute a felony if such a person had a previous judgment of conviction for a crime, or loitering for the purpose of engaging in prostitution as defined in subdivision two of Penal Law §240.37.

From 2018 to 2023, ***** people were arrested by the police in drug trafficking related operations. In 2018, the most people were arrested, with ***. Since then, the number of arrests has been decreasing, with *** individuals arrested in 2023.

Police arrest reports data

DATASET DESCRIPTION: When an officer finds it necessary to arrest an individual, such as upon witnessing a crime, having probable cause, or acting on a judge-issued arrest warrant, they are required to write an arrest report. The arrest report details the conditions of the arrest and directly pertains to the individual in question. Additionally, it includes specific details of the charges associated with the arrest.
