NIBRS · incident-based detail

A closer look at the records

2026 records in this snapshot · source snapshot September 15, 2026.

This is a separate incident-based source, not an addition to the Return A figures. Counts describe Group A incident and offense records represented in this extract, not victim-counted offense totals, all city crime, or a safety rating. Reporting completeness is unverified.

Group A incident records

245Distinct administrative records with usable offense segments.

Offense records

288Completed and attempted offense segments. One incident can have several.

Attempted offense records

2Recorded attempts, included in the offense-record count.

99Offense segments with a residence/home location type, not mapped addresses.

Attempts are already included in offense records, not additional crimes. 8 months contain usable records. These are observed records, not a complete annual total. September is a partial snapshot. These core counts, offense categories, locations and time-of-day figures exclude Group B arrest records and unfounded offense segments.

Source & interpretation

What’s behind the numbers

Snapshot: September 15, 2026 · imported October 4, 2026
Measurement: Monthly actual-offense counts reported by this agency. Not national estimates, arrests or geocoded incidents.

Aggravated assault is calculated as source assault total minus simple assault. Rape uses the source category; historical definitions require care. We do not annualize incomplete periods, generate crime rates from ZIP populations, or rank addresses by safety.
