Daily Crime Log
The Office of Public Safety maintains a daily log listing all criminal offenses required to be reported under federal law. The log lists the date, time reported, time occurred, general location, and disposition of the offense, if this information is known at the time the log is created. Certain information may temporarily be withheld to protect a victim or maintain the integrity of an in-progress criminal investigation. The daily crime log is available for public inspection during normal business hours at the Office of Public Safety or anytime online.
