This 2022 crime data is the list of crimes that the Syracuse Police Department responded to in 2022. These records does not include rape offenses as well as any crimes that have been sealed by the court.
Crimes are reported to the FBI in two major categories under the Uniform Crime Reports specification: Part 1 and Part 2 crimes. Part 1 crimes include criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft. In these records, rape offenses have been excluded due to victim privacy concerns.
Part 2 crimes include all other offenses. A more detailed guide to Part 1 crimes is listed below. More details about Part 2 Crimes is listed in the Part 2 Crimes Dataset.
When using the data, the date and time provided are when the crime was actually reported. This means that though a larceny might be reported at noon, the actual crime could have happened at 8am, but was not realized until someone noticed hours later. Similarly, if a home break-in happens during a holiday weekend when the owners are out of town, the crime report may not come in until they return home and notice the crime took place previously. The address in the dataset is where the crime occurred. The location is also anonymized to the block level, so a crime that occurred at 123 Main St. will appear as occurring on the 100 block of Main St. This is to protect the privacy of all involved. Finally, information about crimes is fluid, and details about the crime could change.

Time start and time end - Listed in military time (2400) - Burglaries and larcenies are often a time frame.
