Crime Mapping

What type of crimes will be shown on the crime maps?

Serious Part One crimes:
  • Home Invasions: Breaking and entering of "occupied" residential properties. Residents do not have to be home at the time the crime is committed; occupied refers to the structure being not vacant.

  • Breaking & Entering: Breaking and entering of commercial properties, unoccupied residences, homes under construction, and other structures.

  • Larceny: The unlawful taking of another's property. Larceny from auto (items inside your car), larceny from building (sheds, detached garage, storage lockers), larceny from person (pick pocket, purse snatching).

  • MDOP: Malicious destruction of property. Real or personal property (automobiles, homes, lawns, mailboxes, etc.)

  • Stolen vehicles: Actual theft of an automobile.

  • Robbery: Unlawful taking of another’s property with force and/or use of a weapon.

  • RAPE: Self explanatory. You will only see this if the perpetrator is unknown to the victim and we have reason to believe this perpetrator is a threat to the general public.

What you will not see on the crime map:

1. Names and/or other sources used to identify victims.

2. Addresses of said crimes / unless deemed necessary.

3. Specific suspect information / unless deemed necessary.
