- Bias crime
- Event likely to generate media attention
- Event likely to generate community concern
- Hostage/barricade
- In-custody death
- Officer assaulted
- Robbery
- Shots fired (with damage or evidence)
- Significant crisis events, including those resolved without force
- Type II and Type III use-of-force investigations
- Any other event a sergeant believes is significant
Incidents such as homicides, sexual assaults, domestic violence, child abuse and custody dispute calls, while significant, contain information that may identify the victim in a certain case and may not be posted here.
These reports are a small portion of the information we gather at an incident and are based on early information. Information in an officer’s final report may differ from the text contained here and should be considered more accurate.
