This dataset provides the crime clearance rate nationally and for the City of Tempe. An overall clearance rate is developed as part of the Department’s report for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Uniform Crime Report (UCR) Program. The statistics in the UCR Program are based on reports the Tempe Police Department officially submits to the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS).In the UCR Program, there are two ways that a law enforcement agency can report that an offense is cleared:(1) cleared by arrest or solved for crime reporting purposes, or(2) cleared by exceptional means.An offense is cleared by arrest, or solved for crime reporting purposes, when three specific conditions have been met. The three conditions are that at least one person has been: (1) arrested; (2) charged with the commission of the offense; and (3) turned over to the court for prosecution.In some situations, an agency may be prevented from arresting and formally charging an offender due to factors outside of the agency's control. In these cases, an offense can be cleared by exceptional means, if the following four conditions are met: (1) identified the offender; (2) gathered enough evidence to support an arrest, make a charge, and turn over the offender to the court for prosecution; (3) identified offender’s exact location so that suspect can immediately be taken into custody; and (4) encountered a circumstance outside law enforcement"s control that prohibits arresting, charging and prosecuting the offender.The UCR clearance rate is one tool for helping the police to understand and assess success at investigating crimes. However, these rates should be interpreted with an understanding of the unique challenges faced in reporting and investigating crimes. Clearance rates for a given year may be greater than 100% because a clearance is reported for the year the clearance occurs, which may not be the same year that the crime occurred. Often, investigations may take months or years, resulting in cases being cleared years after the actual offense. Additionally, there may be delays in the reporting of crimes, which would push the clearance of the case out beyond the year it happened.This page provides data for the Violent Cases Clearance Rate performance measure. The performance measure dashboard is available at 1.12 Violent Cases Clearance Rate.Additional InformationSource: Tempe Police Department (TPD) Versadex Records Management System (RMS) submitted to Arizona Department of Public Safety (AZ DPS), which submits data to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)Contact (author): Contact E-Mail (author): Contact (maintainer): Brooks LoutonContact E-Mail (maintainer): Brooks_Louton@tempe.govData Source Type: ExcelPreparation Method: Drawn from the Annual FBI Crime In the United States PublicationPublish Frequency: AnnuallyPublish Method: ManualData Dictionary

FBI National Incident-Based Reporting System (FBI NIBRS) crime data for Tempe Police Department (City) in Arizona, including incidents, statistics, demographics, and detailed incident information.

The City of Tempe promotes safe and secure communities by providing individuals the opportunity to successfully complete a diversion or probation program with Community Supervision. Community Supervision aims to connect individuals with misdemeanor offenses to appropriate education, treatment, and/or resources to increase the likelihood of successful completion and remaining crime free while in the program. Increasing successful completion and safety rates furthers the City priority of Safe and Secure Communities. Participants in Community Supervision programs are connected with evidenced based treatment programs to address domestic violence, substance abuse, anger management, and other antisocial behaviors. Participants are also connected with personal improvement opportunities (parenting classes, financial counseling classes, support groups, etc.) which research has identified as protective factors against continued criminal activity and/or recidivism. By connecting individuals with both evidenced based interventions and known protective factors, participants will develop the skills and abilities to improve their quality of life and prevent further criminal behavior, as well as remain positive and contributing members of the community. This measure tracks successful completion rates and for individuals who have completed a Deferred Prosecution or Misdemeanor Supervised Probation program with the City of Tempe and also tracks individuals who remain crime free while participating with Community Supervision. The performance measure dashboard is availabe at 1.17 Community Supervision Success Rate.Additional InformationSource: City of Tempe Community Health and Human Services Open Caseware Case Management System; Arizona Prosecuting Attorneys' Advisory Council (APAAC) Annual Report of Deferred Prosecution ProgramsContact: Dianna KalandrosContact E-Mail: Dianna_Kalandros@tempe.govData Source Type: Excel; TablePreparation Method: Manual reporting Publish Frequency: AnnualPublish Method: ManualData Dictionary (pending)
