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

188Distinct administrative records with usable offense segments.

Offense records

240Completed and attempted offense segments. One incident can have several.

Attempted offense records

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.
