Crime Statistics 1996 - 2007

This Data represents Part I crimes (murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, theft, auto theft, and arson) and Part II crimes (all other offenses: criminal mischief, trespassing, etc) that are reported to the Seattle Police Department.

PLEASE NOTE:

The Seattle Police Department cautions against using crime and/or other police data to make decisions/comparisons regarding the safety of an area or the amount of crime.

Data provided represents only police services where a report was made and does not include other calls for police service.

This data does not reflect or certify "safe" or "unsafe" areas. When looking at crime statistics it is important to consider geography (business vs. residential), and major institutions that exist within the boundaries (i.e. hospitals, schools, parks, etc.) of the reporting areas.

Data will sometimes reflect where the crime was reported versus where the crime occurred.

Areas with a high volume of foot traffic or that is more densely populated may have more reported crime. This does not necessarily mean more crime occurs there, but that more crime is reported there.
