• Areas with a high volume of foot traffic, vehicle traffic, and if densely populated may have more reported crimes than other areas. This does not necessarily mean more crime occurs there, but that more crime is reported there. 
• Results displayed are not distinguished as attempted or completed crimes. 
• Users should not rely on nor make decisions or comparisons based solely on the data offered on this web site; but should conduct additional independent verification and due diligence. 
• The information will sometimes reflect where the crime was reported versus where the crime occurred.
