In order to protect the privacy of crime victims, addresses are generalized to the block level only and specific locations are not identified.
Due to several factors (offense reclassification, reported versus occurred dates, etc.) comparisons should not be made between numbers generated with this database to any other official police reports. Data provided represents only calls for police service where a report was written.
Totals in the database may vary considerably from official totals following investigation and final categorization. Therefore, the data should not be used for comparisons with Uniform Crime Report statistics.
The Austin Police Department does not assume any liability for any decision made or action taken or not taken by the recipient in reliance upon any information or data provided.
This Racial Profiling dataset (citations) provides the raw data needed to identify trends in traffic stops. It is used to help identify potential improvements in department policy, tactics, and training.
