<p style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:1.25em; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(77, 77, 77); font-family:Lato; font-size:16px;'>Crime report data is provided for Louisville Metro Police Divisions only; crime data does not include smaller class cities.</p><p style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:1.25em; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(77, 77, 77); font-family:Lato; font-size:16px;'>The data provided in this dataset is preliminary in nature and may have not been investigated by a detective at the time of download. The data is therefore subject to change after a complete investigation. This data represents only calls for police service where a police incident report was taken. Due to the variations in local laws and ordinances involving crimes across the nation, whether another agency utilizes Uniform Crime Report (UCR) or National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) guidelines, and the results learned after an official investigation, comparisons should not be made between the statistics generated with this dataset to any other official police reports. Totals in the database may vary considerably from official totals following the investigation and final categorization of a crime. Therefore, the data should not be used for comparisons with Uniform Crime Report or other summary statistics.</p><p style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:1.25em; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(77, 77, 77); font-family:Lato; font-size:16px;'>Data is broken out by year into separate CSV files.
