For official crime statistics, please visit CMPD's Crime Statistics page at:https://charlottenc.gov/CMPD/Safety/Pages/CrimeStats.aspx . Includes all CMPD incident report types, both criminal and non-criminal. Many reports are taken only to fully document a non-criminal circumstance like a missing person, lost/missing property, etc. Other reports are only taken to document the recovery of vehicles stolen in other jurisdictions. Each incident is classified based on FBI NIBRS standards by applying a national crime hierarchy to choose the highest offense assigned to each report. More information about NIBRS standards can be found on the FBI website. Cases where Highest NIBRS Code / Highest NIBRS Description is non-criminal offense (codes in the 800 series) should not be included in analysis of total “criminal” incident reports. In addition, data includes incidents with any clearance status, including unfounded cases. A clearance status of “Unfounded” means the report has been investigated and determined either to be a false report or to involve circumstances that do not actually constitute a crime.
