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.

This dataset comes from the Annual Community Survey questions that relate to this performance measure, if they answered "Yes" to being a victim of crime in the past 6 months: “Were the police informed that your household had been burglarized, or did they find out about this incident in any way?” and "Were the police informed that you were robbed, physically assaulted, or sexually assaulted, or did they find out about this incident in any way?" Respondents are asked to provide their answer as “Yes” or “No” (without “don’t know” as an option).The survey is mailed to a random sample of households in the City of Tempe and has a 95% confidence level.

The Calls for Service dataset includes police service requests for which patrol officers, traffic officers, bike officers and, on occasion, detectives will be dispatched to public safety response. It also includes self-initiated calls for service where an officer witnesses a violation or suspicious activity for which they would respond. This item represents a consolidated item of all records.Why the Datasets are Organized into Separate Layers In January of 2022, the Tempe Police Department completed a major transition in how crimes data is reported, moving from the FBI Uniform Crime Report program to the enhanced National-Incident Based Reporting System, or NIBRS. NIBRS is now the required reporting method for the FBI. The Uniform Crime Report (UCR) Program's traditional Summary Reporting System (SRS) was limited in comparison to NIBRS, which offers more detailed data collection that provides a deeper understanding of crime and its circumstances. NIBRS captures a wider range of details on crime incidents and can reflect separate offenses occurring during the same event, including information on victims, known offenders, relationships between victims and offenders, arrestees, and property involved in the crimes. With greater specificity in reporting offenses, NIBRS provides for more accurate and detailed crime-related information, and helps give context to specific crime issues while affording greater analytic capability of crime. Below is the link to Tempe-specific NIBRS reports. Use the drop-down filters to select Tempe PD, the year, and the type of report. Because of these differences, trends and numbers between the two systems should not be directly compared. That’s why we treat 2022 and later (NIBRS) separately from 2021 and earlier (UCR). To make the older data easier to browse, we grouped the data from 2021 and earlier into year ranges instead of showing it all at once. This helps with performance and loading speed due to the large count of records.

This dataset comes from the Annual Community Survey question related to residents’ feeling of safety and their perceptions about their likelihood of becoming a victim of violent or property crimes. The fear of crime refers to the fear of being a victim of crime as opposed to the actual probability of being a victim of crime. The Annual Community Survey question that relates to this dataset is: “Please indicate how often you worry about each of the following: a) Getting mugged; b) Having your home burglarized when you are not there; c) Being attacked or threatened with a weapon; d) Having your car stolen or broken into; e) Being a victim of identity theft?” Respondents are asked to rate how often they worry about being a victim on a scale of 5 to 1, where 5 means “Frequently” and 1 means “Never” (without "don't know" as an option).This page provides details about the Worry About Being a Victim performance measure.

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 trauma experienced by crime victims is nuanced, and young people are particularly vulnerable to the chronic stress associated with exposure to crime. Timely connection to services and education on trauma is crucial for families to increase their resilience and capacity to heal. CARE 7, a crisis response workgroup within the City of Tempe Community Health and Human Services Department, is dedicated to providing effective, efficient, and trauma-informed care to crime victims. Delivery of services includes victim advocacy, case management, temporary housing, and diverse resource referral. The success rate is determined by the % of individuals responding agree or strongly agree who report having a better understanding of trauma associated with violence and how it impacts the well-being and safety of their family.
