CMPD Violent Crime

FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Part I violent crime counts, updated monthly, aggregated to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) jurisdiction, Neighborhood Profile Area (NPA), and Violent Crime Hotspot (focus areas for the City's violence reduction initiative). Monthly crime counts cover the time frame Jan-2015 to present. Crime categories include homicide, rape, attempted rape, armed robbery, strong arm robbery, aggravated assault (gun, knife, other weapon, fists/feet/etc), and violent crime (total violent crime for all FBI UCR Part I violent crime types combined). Violent crime types of homicide, rape, and aggravated assault represent victim counts; violent crime types of robbery represent incident counts. These counting rules are to maintain compliance with FBI UCR guidelines. Additionally, monthly counts of non-fatal gunshot injury victims are included; these non-fatal shootings are not mutually exclusive from other violent crime categories and can include cases of aggrevated assault, robbery, and/or rape.
