Crime Reporting
To ensure crime data is comparable throughout the nation, the U.S. Department of Justice has identified particular crimes to be counted, under exacting definitions, by every law enforcement agency in America. These are called Part I Crimes and include the violent acts of Homicide, Forcible Rape, Robbery, and Aggravated Assault and also the property crimes of Theft, Motor Vehicle Theft, Burglary, and Arson. Individual law enforcement agencies, including the Crete Police Department, report these crimes and other information to their respective States. The Nebraska Crime Commission and the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics consolidate and publish this data as Uniform Crime Reports (UCR).
