Citywide Crime Statistics
Annual Totals, 1993-2008

These statistics reflect official Index crime totals as reported to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting program. These totals may differ from the preliminary monthly statistics presented elsewhere on this website for a variety of reasons, including late reporting, reclassification of some offenses, and discovery that some offenses were unfounded.
