Acknowledgements

The Orlando Police Department has provided this dataset, derived from their internal records management system.

This dataset contains Crime and Safety data from the Cary Police Department.

This data is extracted by the Town of Cary's Police Department's RMS application. The police incidents will provide data on the Part I crimes of arson, motor vehicle thefts, larcenies, burglaries, aggravated assaults, robberies and homicides. Sexual assaults and crimes involving juveniles will not appear to help protect the identities of victims.

This dataset includes criminal offenses in the Town of Cary for the previous 10 calendar years plus the current year. The data is based on the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) which includes all victims of person crimes and all crimes within an incident. The data is dynamic, which allows for additions, deletions and/or modifications at any time, resulting in more accurate information in the database. Due to continuous data entry, the number of records in subsequent extractions are subject to change. Crime data is updated daily however, incidents may be up to three days old before they first appear.

About Crime Data

The Cary Police Department strives to make crime data as accurate as possible, but there is no avoiding the introduction of errors into this process, which relies on data furnished by many people and that cannot always be verified. Data on this site are updated daily, adding new incidents and updating existing data with information gathered through the investigative process.

This dynamic nature of crime data means that content provided here today will probably differ from content provided a week from now. Additional, content provided on this site may differ somewhat from crime statistics published elsewhere by other media outlets, even though they draw from the same database.

Withheld Data

In accordance with legal restrictions against identifying sexual assault and child abuse victims and juvenile perpetrators, victims, and witnesses of certain crimes, this site includes the following precautionary measures: (a) Addresses of sexual assaults are not included. (b) Child abuse cases, and other crimes which by their nature involve juveniles, or which the reports indicate involve juveniles as victims, suspects, or witnesses, are not reported at all.

Certain crimes that are under current investigation may be omitted from the results in avoid comprising the investigative process.

Incidents five days old or newer may not be included until the internal audit process has been completed.

This data is updated daily.

This 2023 crime data is the list of crimes that the Syracuse Police Department responded to in 2023. These records does not include rape offenses as well as any crimes that have been sealed by the court. These records are derived from the records management system utilized by the SPD. The data is then anonymized by SPD Crime Analysts weekly. After this data is received weekly from the SPD, this data is then mapped to the approximate location of that incident, using the 100 block level and a Geolocator File from Onondaga County GIS Department. This data is then updated on the Open Data Portal. The points should not be construed to be the exact point this incidents were reported to occur, rather the block where these incident is reported to occur.Crimes are reported to the FBI in two major categories under the Uniform Crime Reports specification: Part 1 and Part 2 crimes. Part 1 crimes include criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft. In these records, rape offenses have been excluded due to victim privacy concerns.Part 2 crimes include all other offenses. A more detailed guide to Part 1 crimes is listed below. More details about Part 2 Crimes is listed in the Part 2 Crimes Dataset.When using the data, the date and time provided are when the crime was actually reported. This means that though a larceny might be reported at noon, the actual crime could have happened at 8am, but was not realized until someone noticed hours later. Similarly, if a home break-in happens during a holiday weekend when the owners are out of town, the crime report may not come in until they return home and notice the crime took place previously. The address in the dataset is where the crime occurred. The location is also anonymized to the block level, so a crime that occurred at 123 Main St. will appear as occurring on the 100 block of Main St. This is to protect the privacy of all involved. Finally, information about crimes is fluid, and details about the crime could change.Data DictionaryDate End - Date that the crime was reported. It could have happened earlier. This is in the format of DD-MON-YY (Ex. 01-Jan-22).Time start and time end - Listed in military time (2400) - Burglaries and larcenies are often a time frame. Address - Where the crime occurred. All addresses are in the 100’s because the Syracuse Police Department allows privacy for residents and only lists the block number.Code Defined - Offense names are listed as crime categories group for ease of understanding. There may have been other offenses also, but the one displayed is the highest Unified Crime Reporting (UCR) category.Arrest - Means that there was an arrest, but not necessarily for that crime.Larceny Code - Indicates the type of larceny (Example: From Building or From Motor Vehicle).DisclaimerData derived from the Syracuse Police Department record management system, any data not listed is not currently available.Part I Crime DefinitionsCriminal homicide—a.)

This dataset shows the number of major property crimes and major violent crimes reported by MPD each month.

In 2022, the rate of forcible rapes in the United States stood at 40 per 100,000 inhabitants. As the FBI revised the definition of rape in 2013, the 2022 rate is a slight decrease from 1990, when there were 41.2 forcible rapes per 100,000 inhabitants.

What is forcible rape?

According to the FBI, forcible rape is defined as “sexual penetration, no matter how slight, with a body part or object without the consent of the victim.” This definition changed in 2013 from the previous definition, which specified “carnal knowledge of a female victim forcibly and against her will.” Attempted rape was included in the previous definition, but statutory rape and other sexual offenses were excluded. The old definition was seen as problematic, as people of any gender can be raped.

Since the revision of the definition of rape, reported rapes increased, although it is not clear if this is due to the revised definition or if the rate itself has increased.

Rape in the United States

While rape and sexual assault have been extensively talked about in the U.S. in recent years, especially since the start of the #metoo movement, there is still a large number of sexual offences committed each year. Sadly, the majority of sex offences in the U.S. are carried out against individuals age 20 and under.

Astoundingly, the Anchorage, Alaska metropolitan area had the highest rape rate in the United States in 2020, followed by Rapid City, South Dakota. Since rape and sexual assault continue to be underreported in the United States, it is important to find a solution to this devastating problem.

This Indicator measures the median response times of calls for service that were routed to patrol. The measurement is broken down between Priority 1 and Priority 2 calls as well as by police area. Priority 1 Calls are defined as those that include potential danger for serious injury to persons, prevention of violent crimes, serious public hazards, felonies in progress with possible suspect on scene. Priority 2 Calls are defined as urgent but not an emergency situation, hazardous / sensitive matters, in-progress misdemeanors and crimes where quick response may facilitate apprehension of suspect(s). There are 5 police areas in Oakland each of which consist of a defined set of police beats and therefore cover a specific geographic part of Oakland.
