Honorable Members of the Senate andAssembly of the State of New Jersey

Dear Governor and Members of the Legislature:

Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 52:17B-5.5, I herewith submit, for your information and review, thethirty-ninth annual report of crime in New Jersey. The annual report is based on crime statisticssubmitted to the New Jersey Uniform Crime Reporting System by every New Jersey lawenforcement agency for the year 2005.

Effective law enforcement requires accurate crime statistics in order to identify the extent,type, and location of criminal activity. Criminal Justice administrators and planners have longrecognized the Uniform Crime Reporting Program as the vehicle to accomplish this objective.

The success of the Uniform Crime Reporting System during 2005 could not have beenrealized without the cooperation extended by each of the 551 law enforcement agencies of theState, the New Jersey Chiefs of Police Association, and the County Prosecutors Association.

It is in the interest of more effective law enforcement to the eight million residents of NewJersey that the thirty-ninth annual report is submitted.

Respectfully,

Zulima V. FarberAttorney General of New Jersey

1— Synopsis: Uniform Crime Reporting Program —

2 — Synopsis: Uniform Crime Reporting System —

The New Jersey Uniform Crime Reporting System is based upon the compilation, classification, and analysis of crime datareported by all New Jersey police agencies in accordance with the regulations prescribed by law.

DEFINITION

THE NEW JERSEY UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING SYSTEM

DEVELOPMENTThe New Jersey Uniform Crime Reporting Law (N.J.S.A. 52:17 B-5.1 et. seq.) was enacted on May 16, 1966, and became effective

January 1, 1967. Responsibility for the establishment, direction, control, and supervision of the Uniform Crime Reporting System wasassigned to the State’s Attorney General. The Attorney General authorized the New Jersey State Police to collect and collate the crimedata received from law enforcement agencies within the state.

At the request of the Attorney General, the New Jersey State Police researched crime systems in operation throughout the nationin order to establish a firm foundation from which to grow. The most logical approach was the paralleling of the federal crime reportingsystem. There was a distinct need for a compatibility feature that would enhance both the state and federal systems through the dataentry at both levels.

This compatibility has, as its nucleus, the standard classification of offenses established by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.Regardless of the label placed on a particular offense in the various states’ systems, i.e., felony, misdemeanor, disorderly persons, ifthe incident meets the federal standard it will be reported as an offense.

The terms “crime” and “offense” are used interchangeably in this publication, and refer to an act committed in violation of a lawwhich is reportable under the guidelines of the Uniform Crime Reporting Program.

The New Jersey State Chiefs of Police Association has served the program in an advisory capacity since 1966. The contributionsof this association have proved valuable to the success of the program. This association works in close harmony with the State Policeas a means of improving the quality of reporting through recommended program standards, policies and procedures.

COLLECTION OF CRIME DATAAs required by statute, all law enforcement agencies in the state submit monthly and annual summary crime reports to the

program. During the year 2005, offense and arrest data were received from 477 full-time municipal police departments, two (2) part-time municipal police departments, and the New Jersey State Police (acting as the reporting agent for the 75 municipalities withoutlocal police services). In addition to the 477 full-time municipal police departments there are 12 police departments contracted byother municipalities.

In addition to the above agencies, arrest data was received from the state’s 21 prosecutors, sheriffs’ departments, two (2)county police departments, and three (3) county park police departments. In order to incorporate all New Jersey law enforcementagencies under the system, the ten (10) other state agencies with law enforcement responsibilities, excluding state police, as well as14 college campus police departments were incorporated within the program. Collectively, a total of 551 law enforcement agenciessubmit the reports to the New Jersey State Police.

METHODA State of New Jersey Uniform Crime Reporting Guide has been distributed to all contributors. It outlines reporting procedures in

detail, and is complete to the extent of providing examples and illustrations. Field representatives provide additional instruction andclarification when required.

All reported offenses are related to the municipality in which they occur rather than to the agency which may conduct theinvestigation. The clearance is credited to the municipality in which the offense occurred. Each contributing agency is responsible forcompiling its own reports. Law enforcement agencies report the number of known offenses according to the following categories:Homicide (Murder and Manslaughter), Rape, Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Burglary, Larceny-Theft, Motor Vehicle Theft, and Arson.The “Crime in New Jersey,” and the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s “Crime in the United States” publications exclude manslaughters,simple assaults, and arsons from the “Index” offenses. These are further referred to as “violent” and “nonviolent” crimes as

— Synopsis: Uniform Crime Reporting System — 3

graphically illustrated in Section VII under “Municipal and County Offenses and Demographic Data,” and Section II, “State Summaryand Offense Analysis.”

All reported offenses are compiled from a record of all criminal complaints received by police from victims or other sources, ordiscovered by the police during routine operations. Complaints determined to be unfounded are eliminated from this count. Analyticaldata pertaining to specific crime categories are also reported, i.e. total adult and juvenile arrests made during the month. Police killedor assaulted and arson data are also collected monthly. Police personnel information is submitted on an annual basis.

FLOW CHART OF UCR REPORTS


VERIFICATION PROCESSESThe uniformity and accuracy of data gathered from contributors must be safeguarded through various ways. Although guidelines

and instructions are provided to each contributor, they are not the panaceas for the accuracy being sought.The reports received by the Uniform Crime Reporting Unit are recorded and examined for mathematical accuracy and

reasonableness of the interpretation of the offense classifications. Improper classifications, changes in reporting procedures, or actualchange are identified in this manner. Errors of a minor nature are corrected by direct telephone contact with the contributors, while allother errors are resolved through a personal visit by a field representative to the reporting agency.

Further verification is accomplished through the analysis of statistical data accrued from the reports submitted. Fluctuations incrime rates noted from previous submissions are verified by the field representatives through their municipal counterpart.

FUNCTIONPolice executives make use of this data in administrative, planning, and operational determinations for their respective

jurisdictions. The State Police Uniform Crime Reporting Unit provides assistance to municipal police agencies through the individualanalysis of statistics as they relate to specific crime problems within their jurisdiction. Police executives also use this data for identifyingpersonnel and equipment needs. The Uniform Crime Reporting Program requirements not only have increased police efficiency inreporting and record keeping areas, but have helped police in their day to day operations.

Although the data collected on the offenses of manslaughter and simple assault are not presented in the annual report, they arerequired for the federal system. Data for these offenses is processed and provided for research purposes.


PROFILE OF NEW JERSEY

New Jersey is situated between the major industrial markets of New York and Philadelphia. The geographic location of the statehas been a major factor in its growth and development. The many miles of interstate roadways within the state connect New Jerseydirectly with the neighboring states of New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. Additionally, New Jersey roadways accommodate largevolumes of traffic as a corridor for commerce and travelers from throughout the United States.

The state is geographically composed of 21 counties which contain 566 incorporated municipalities. Nationally, New Jersey,although 46th in size, ranks tenth in population and first as the most densely populated state in the country. In addition to this densityof 1,160.5 persons per square mile, New Jersey still has many miles of rural areas and sparsely settled communities. The areas ofdensity are concentrated around the major urban centers and those venues most accessible for commuting.

STATE, COUNTY AND MUNICIPAL PROFILES

The presentation of state, county and municipal profiles in this section is offered for the purpose of projecting, for theconsideration of the reader, a group of recognizable factors which may affect the amount and type of crime that occurs fromcommunity to community. Selection of the areas of information to be related to individual municipalities was based on the immediacyand completeness of data available.

Population statistics presented here, and throughout this publication, were obtained from the Department of Labor, Division ofLabor Market and Demographic Research.

Character of municipalities by urban, suburban and rural classifications, and square miles, were initially compiled by theDepartment of Community Affairs, Division of State and Regional Planning, Bureau of Statewide Planning, and will continue to be usedfor comparative purposes. Following is a list of categories used and a description of each category.

• URBAN CENTER Densely populated with extensive development.• URBAN SUBURBAN Near an urban center but not as extremely developed and more residential areas.• SUBURBAN Predominantly single family residential, within a short distance of an urban area.• RURAL Scattered small communities and isolated single family dwellings.• RURAL CENTER High density core area with surrounding rural municipalities.

Certain other socioeconomic factors present in varying degrees in all communities may have an influence on resulting crime rates.Obvious difficulties in the identification, documentation and measurement of these factors, however, precluded their application in thisreport.

Those factors presented were listed to affirm their existence within the county and community and to provide a base forconsideration in the evaluation of that community’s crime experience.

RESORT MUNICIPALITY CRIME RATES

On July 10, 1998, section 4 of P.L. 1966, c37(C.52:17B-5.4) was amended to require the Uniform Crime Report to include, inaddition to the regular statistics, an alternative calculation that takes into account the seasonal population of resort municipalities.

The Department of Labor has been mandated to determine which municipalities qualify as resort municipalities and certify theirannual mean population (which includes seasonal population estimates.)


CRIME FACTORS

In order to provide a meaningful statistical profile of crime within the State of New Jersey, each law enforcement agency mustprovide the Uniform Crime Reporting Unit with data that depicts specific crimes that are occurring within their jurisdiction. There is aneed for compatibility with the National Uniform Crime Reporting System and, therefore, categories of offense classifications usedwithin the state are identical with those of the National System. This results in equitable conclusions being drawn from the datasubmitted.

Reported Part 1 offenses and arrests are recorded in the municipality where they occurred, regardless of the outsideinvestigative agency which may investigate, arrest, or otherwise dispose of the case.

The factors which influence crime rates are dependent upon characteristics of the community. When attempting to interpret thecrime statistics presented herein, one should be aware of the social structure and factors that lead to or cause criminal behavior.

Crime rates in this publication are based on the stable population of the municipality. Municipalities that experience highpopulation increases due to special events or commuters or with high seasonal populations, may indicate a higher crime rate per onethousand than may be normal for a municipality their size. A separate section provides statistics for resort municipalities using crimerates which include seasonal populations.Set forth below are some factors which, by type and volume, will affect the crime rate that occurs from place to place:

• Density and size of the community population and the metropolitan areas of which it is a part.

• Composition of the population with reference particularly to age, sex and race.

• Economic status, including job availability, and mores of the population.

• Relative stability of population, including commuter, seasonal, and other transient types.

• Climate, including seasonal weather conditions.

• Cultural conditions, such as educational, recreational, and religious characteristics.

• Effective strength of law enforcement agencies.

• Administrative and investigative emphases of law enforcement.

• Policies of other components of the criminal justice system (i.e., prosecutorial, judicial, correctional, and probational).

• Crime reporting practices of the general citizenry.

• Attitudes of the public toward crime reporting.

• The administrative and investigative efficiency of the local law enforcement agency, including the degree of adherence tocrime reporting standards.

• Cooperation of adjoining and overlapping police agencies.

The New Jersey State Police Uniform Crime Reporting Unit surveyed various police agencies of the state, attempting to ascertaintheir opinion concerning factors contributing to the increase or decrease of specific crimes in their municipality. One of the goals of theUniform Crime Reporting Unit is to assist police in reducing crime by first identifying its extent, type and location. The followingviewpoints are offered with the expectation of reaching this goal.

ROBBERY

Decreases:

• More stringent sentencing requirements under the State Criminal Code.• Advanced technology in communications has led to increased exchanges of information between police departments.• Highly visible foot patrols being deployed in commercial areas and densely populated residential areas.• Use of Anti-crime Unit in high robbery areas.

Increases:

• Resort areas have shown an increasing seasonal population.• Our highly mobile society provides easy access to areas which were previously difficult to reach.

BURGLARY

Decreases:

• Better deployment of police personnel, such as highly visible foot patrols in high density crime areas, and increased patrolsduring probable time and at probable locations of burglaries.

• More stringent sentencing requirements under the State’s Criminal Code have been a deterrent.• Crime Prevention Programs are being stressed in many communities and citizens have been taking a more active part by

reporting suspicious persons or circumstances.

Increases:

• Extreme increases in population in certain areas have led to new housing in suburban and rural areas.• Husband and wife are both working; leaving homes frequently unoccupied for long periods of time.

LARCENY

Decreases:

• Public awareness programs contribute to the decrease in thefts from parked vehicles.• Improved or additional lighting deters criminal acts from occurring in parking areas.• “Safe Streets” Programs and Anti-crime Units have been established in many communities.


Increases:

• Shoplifting is a theft that police have little or no control over. Store security forces are under the control of the storeadministration, and their policies vary from strict enforcement, arrest and prosecution, to only a warning. Policy change hasbeen directed toward prosecuting the offenders rather than warning them, causing to some extent an increase in the numberof shoplifting offenses reported to the police.

• Certain types of property such as CD players, radar detectors and radios are popular and present resale opportunities.• Youth gang activity on the increase resulting in thefts from motor vehicles.

MOTOR VEHICLE THEFT

Decreases:

• Stronger sentencing of career criminals has been effective.• Modern ignition systems and anti-theft devices act as a deterrent.• Better lighting in parking lots has helped decrease motor vehicle thefts.

Increases:

• The tremendous replacement cost of auto parts has contributed significantly to the increase in motor vehicle thefts for thepurpose of auto parts resale.

CRIME INDEX FOR POPULATION GROUPS – 2005The presentation of crime statistics by population groups was made for the purpose of projecting, for consideration, the relative

crime experience of communities of varying populations. Although the individual municipalities within the various groups may begeographically separated, their inclusion into a specific group was predicated by the similarity in population with the othermunicipalities within the group. Municipalities within the same group may differ widely when all factors are considered, but they doshare the common bond of population size. The grouping of communities in this manner allows recognition of variances in the crimevolumes, rates and clearances between the established groups.

Set forth below are the established municipal groupings as used in this section:

CRIME IN THE CITIES

This section deals with serious crimes reported in the large urban cities of the state. These cities represent 19 percent of thepopulation and historically account for one third of the reported Crime Index of the state.

This analysis involves the latest ten-year period 1996-2005 and endeavors further to identify crime trends in these urbanareas.

The cities included in this analysis were initially categorized as urban municipalities (i.e., densely populated with extensivedevelopment) by the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, Division of State and Regional Planning, Bureau of StatewidePlanning, and will continue to be used for comparative purposes.

The criteria used in the selection of these cities were (1) classified as urban character and (2) have a population of 50,000 ormore inhabitants.

For further comparative analysis, the urban cities were subdivided into two distinct groupings.Group number one consisted of the state’s six largest urban centers with populations of 80,000 or over and is categorized as

“Major Urban.”The second group included the “Major Urban” and the additional urban communities with populations of 50,000 or more

inhabitants, and is referred to as the “Urban 15.”

“MAJOR URBAN”

• Camden City • Jersey City • Paterson City• Elizabeth City • Newark City • Trenton City

“URBAN 15”

• Bayonne City • Elizabeth City • Paterson City• Camden City • Irvington Town • Trenton City• Clifton City • Jersey City • Union City• Dover Twp. • Newark City • Vineland City• East Orange City • Passaic City • Woodbridge Twp.

The accompanying table reflects percent changes in the state’s “Major Urban” and “Urban 15” municipalities Crime Index forthe years 1996/2005.

STREET CRIME There has never been a clear-cut definition for street crime within the criminal justice system. The nation’s clearinghouse for thecollection and dissemination of criminal statistics, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, has no criteria in the categorization of specificcrimes to be designated or defined as “street crimes.” More and more this media term has been confused with the violent crimegroup of murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault.

Although any particular crime can and does occur on the street, this analysis, because of reporting constraints within theUniform Crime Reporting System, is limited to defining street crimes as those offenses which occur, or are most likely to occur, onstreets, highways, parking lots, etc.. These crimes include highway robbery, purse-snatching, theft from autos, theft of auto parts andaccessories, theft of bicycles, and motor vehicle thefts. All are crimes against property and only one, highway robbery, falls in theviolent crime group.

• During the ten-year period 1996-2005, the “Urban 15” cities accounted for 41 percent of the street crimes in the state.

• Seventy-two percent of all highway robberies in the state occurred in the “Urban 15” cities during the ten-year period.

• More than half of all motor vehicle thefts during the survey span occurred in these 15 urban municipalities.

• Thirty-three percent of all purse-snatchings during the survey span were perpetrated in the “Urban 15” cities.

• In 2005, Motor Vehicle Theft and Larceny from Motor Vehicles were at their lowest levels in this ten-year period.

• The accompanying table reflects percent distribution of street crime for the “Urban 15” cities for the years 1996-2005.

109— New Jersey Municipal-County Offense & Demographic Data —

All crime rates are based on permanent, year-round populations. Comparisons of crime rates

between individual municipalities should not be made without giving major consideration to the

volume of seasonal population, transients, tourists, and labor forces.

All offenses are recorded in the municipality of occurrence, regardless of the outside investigative

agency, i.e., Federal, State, County, College Campus Police.

Crime rates were not computed for municipalities with population less than 100.

167— Resort Municipality Crime Rates —

As required by P.L. 1998, c. 50, annual mean population estimates for resort municipalities in New

Jersey have been used in the preparation of per capita crime statistics.

These estimates were prepared based upon the methodology prescribed in P.L. 1998, c. 50 using the

latest available municipality estimates of year-round population from the U.S. Bureau of the Census. Please

note that these resort population estimates should only be used for crime statistics purposes. While they

fulfill the requirements of the law, the seasonal components of these estimates are not a complete

measure of seasonal population because they include only those living in rental housing units or in vacant

year-round housing. Not counted are the many day visitors and persons who occupy campgrounds, hotels,

motels or bed and breakfast establishments or who stay with friends or relatives.

+ Crime rates were not computed for municipalities with populations under 100.

POLICE EMPLOYEE DATAThe Uniform Crime Reporting Program of New Jersey incorporates the collection of pertinent data relating to the police of the state. Information

regarding police employees strength and trends are discussed in this section.Individual listings of full-time state, county, university and college police departments are shown in tables within this section. Listings of municipal

police departments will be found in Section VII.The determination of police strength for any given area or municipality should be subject for serious consideration. Such consideration, however,

should be based on the numerous factors which create the need for police services. For example, the increased need for police service in a municipalitywhich has a highly mobile or seasonal population differs from a municipality which has a relatively stable population. Some other factors, discussedelsewhere in this publication, relate to size, density of population, geographic location, character, and proximity to metropolitan areas. The tables andcharts shown in this section should not be interpreted as recommended strength for any given municipality.

TOTAL POLICE EMPLOYEESTotal police employees are defined as the total number of full-time police officers and civilian police employees (clerks, dispatchers, mechanics,

etc.) employed by all law enforcement agencies in the state.

• During 2005, there were 52,608 full-time police employees in New Jersey. This represents an increase of 1 percent when compared to the52,171 full-time police employees in 2004.

• Hunterdon County recorded the lowest police employee rate of 1.4 per 1,000 population.


MUNICIPAL CIVILIAN POLICE EMPLOYEESThe personnel of each department differ as to the demands and responsibilities placed before them. Many police officers are fully occupied

with clerical tasks and are not free to perform active police duties.

Thus, freeing the sworn personnel for actual police-relatedservices.

• There were 4,330 municipal civilian police employees in 2005, an increase of 2 percent compared to the 4,233 in 2004.

• Seventeen percent of all municipal police employees were civilians.

MUNICIPAL POLICE OFFICERSThis includes the number of sworn police officers employed full-time by municipalities of the state. The police employee rate per 1,000

population presented here should not be construed as recommended ratios. The determination of police strength for any municipality should be basedon the numerous factors that create the need for police services. These factors, as crime, vary in type and degree from place to place. Some examplesare: seasonal population, geographic location, density and composition of the population.

• There were 21,504 full-time municipal police officers in 2005; this represents an increase of 1 percent when compared to the 21,276 full-time municipal police officers in 2004.

POLICE OFFICERS KILLED AND ASSAULTED

The killing or assault of a police officer has a harmful effect on society that reaches far beyond the overt act. Such occurrencesconstitute an immediate threat to the well-being of the community and serious breach of the internal security of the country. Today ayoung person who considers a career in law enforcement must also consider the very strong possibility of being killed or assaulted by amember of the very same society they are sworn to protect. This deplorable situation should be a subject of serious concern, for in truth,an attack on a police officer is an attack on society. The violence directed against law enforcement officers acting in the line of duty isclearly demonstrated by the following information.

POLICE FELONIOUSLY KILLED

• On July 18, 2005, Newark Special Police Officer Dwayne Reeves and his partner, Special Police Officer Ahkia Scott, assignedto Weequahic High School, intervened in a fight between two female students outside the school. A brother of one of thegirls and another man confronted a group of girls outside the school that they accused of also being involved in the dispute. When Officer Reeves and Scott approached the men, one became unruly and combative. A struggle ensued as the officersattempted to search him for weapons. During the struggle, the assailant was able to retrieve a 9mm handgun from hiswaistband firing a single shot that struck Officer Scott in the hand and Officer Reeves in the head. Officer Scott returned fire,shooting the assailant three times as he fled the scene on foot, striking him twice in the torso and once in the leg.

INTRODUCTION

The violence within the American domicile has been recognized for decades by elements of government andsociety with little done to correct the problem. Only recently has this phenomenon begun to receive the attention itdeserves. In an effort to understand, identify and treat the incidents of abuse occurring in the home, the State ofNew Jersey, through its legislature, has provided the means to gain a meaningful insight into this issue.

In 1982, the Domestic Violence Act was instituted to protect battered victims and study the complex problemsthat spark such aggressive behavior. This legislation also provided the opportunity to identify the causes of violencein the home and put forth a more comprehensive effort to combat the crime of Domestic Violence.

Improvements since the implementation of the Domestic Violence Act are continuing. Pursuant to a change inN.J.S.A. 2C:25-24 enacted, June 9, 1999, arrest data is presented by county. Domestic Violence restraining orderviolations are now captured and reported. Revised investigation and reporting procedures by the police; improvedprocessing of domestic complaints by the courts; mandatory in-service training for police and court personnel haveall enabled the victim to come forward and implement the constitutional rights granted to all Americans.

The following pages of narrative and graphics in this chapter are the result of gathered data displaying thecomplexities of domestic violence found within the State of New Jersey. It is through analysis of this data that,hopefully, the keys to preventing future violence can be found.

INTRODUCTION

Crimes motivated by hate and bias tend to erode the basic fabric of society. Bias incidents having a racial,religious, ethnic, sexual or gender component as well as crimes against individuals with a handicap, manifestthemselves in a wide spectrum of criminal activities. These bias incidents jeopardize the active and open pursuit offreedom and opportunity. They attack our citizens based on their race, religion, ethnic heritage, sexual orientation,handicap, or gender. Closely linked to such heritage are individual values, beliefs, and identities.

Realizing that no agency within the state was collecting complete data on bias incidents, a broad-based AdHoc committee was created to develop a comprehensive statewide reporting system. As a result of the committee’srecommendation, Attorney General Executive Directive No. 1987-3 was issued mandating all New Jersey lawenforcement agencies to begin reporting bias incident offenses to the Division of State Police, Uniform CrimeReporting Unit, on a monthly basis, effective January 1, 1988. On August 15, 1996, legislation was enacted whichenhanced the state’s definition of a bias incident to include crimes that are gender or handicap-motivated.

The directive was instituted to capture vital data in an effort to identify the problem. This information permitsproper evaluation of progress in preventing bias crime and assist with necessary planning for the future.

This is the eighteenth annual publication concerning bias crimes, which contains comparisons to the previousyear’s statistics. The published statistics and graphs are the result of data submitted by the police community ofNew Jersey.

Hopefully, the information contained in this publication will be of value to various segments of society andserve its intended purpose.

CALCULATIONS OF RATES AND TRENDS1. Crime Rate per 1,000 inhabitants: This represents the number of Index offenses per 1,000 inhabitants.

For example: What is the crime rate for a municipality with 513 Index offenses (murder, rape, robbery,aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft), with a population of 8,280?

513 (Index offenses) ÷ 8,280 (population) = .061957 x 1,000 = 62.0 (crime per 1,000 inhabitants)

2. Crime Trend: A crime trend shows the extent to which crime increased or decreased. This is done bycomparing a period of the current year with the same period of a previous year.For example: A municipality experienced 264 Index offenses in a previous year and 513 Index offenses in thecurrent year. What is the percent of the increase?

513 (current year Index offenses) !264 (previous year Index offenses) = 249 (numerical increase)249 (numerical increase) ÷ 264 (previous year) = .943 x 100 = +94% (percent change)

NOTE: If there were more Index offenses in a previous year than in the current year, we would have apercentage decrease.

3. Number of Police personnel per 1,000 inhabitants: This is calculated in the same manner as a crime rate.For example: A municipality with a population of 8,280 and 28 police personnel. How many officers are thereper 1,000 population?

28 (police personnel) ÷ 8,280 (population) = .00338 x 1,000 = 3.4 (police personnel per 1,000 inhabitants)

NOTE: This formula can be applied to either total police personnel or just police officers per 1,000 inhabitants.

4. Police Assaulted Rate: This is calculated at a rate per 100 police officers.For example: A municipality with 25 officers had five of them assaulted during the month. What is the policeassaulted rate?

5 (police officers assaulted) ÷ 25 (police officers) = .2 x 100 = 20 (police assaulted per 100 officers)

5. Clearance Rate: This refers to the percent of Index offenses cleared (solved), over a specific period of time.For example: A municipality with 513 Index offenses in a chosen time frame, cleared 95 of these offenses. Whatis the clearance rate?

95 (Index offenses cleared) ÷ 513 (Index offenses) = .185 x 100 = 18 .5 (percent cleared)

6. Annual Mean Population: Is determined for each municipality designated a resort municipality by use of thefollowing formula:

AMP = 12P + 3SP 12

Where AMP equals Annual Mean Population; P equals Population; SP equals Seasonal Population.

To reduce crime, you must first identify its extent, type and location
