In 2023, crime statistics were compiled using the Summary Reporting System (SRS) standard, which adheres to the "Hierarchy Rule," meaning that only the most serious offense per victim is counted in both single and multipleoffense incidents. For 2024, the crime statistics represent a blend of SRS and the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) standard. The NIBRS data reporting counts each type of offense once per incident,
regardless of the number of victims or offenses attributed to each victim. Due to limitations with the RMS, MVT and crimes reported online continue to be reported under SRS
