This dataset is for RMS Crime Incidents for 2018. For the comprehensive dataset which includes all records please refer to the RMS Crime Incidents dataset. The RMS Crime Incidents dataset consists of crime reports from the Detroit Police Department Records Management System (RMS). This data reflects criminal offenses reported in the City of Detroit that DPD was involved in the 2018 calendar year. Incident data is typically entered into mobile devices by the officer in the field when responding to an incident. Incidents that occurred in Detroit but in a location that is under the jurisdiction of the Michigan State Police (MSP) or Wayne State University Police Department (WSUPD), such as on an expressway, Belle Isle, or around Wayne State University, are included only if the incident is handled by DPD. Such records are reviewed in a monthly audit to ensure that the incidents are counted by one and only one agency (MSP or DPD). This data is updated daily. For each crime incident, one or more offense charges are recorded, and each row in the dataset corresponds with one of these charges. An example could be a domestic assault where property was also vandalized. Offense charges that occurred at the same crime incident share a common incident number. For each offense charge record (rows) details include when and where the incident occurred, the nature of the offense, DPD precinct or detail, and the case investigation status. Locations of incidents associated with each call are reported based on the nearest intersection to protect the privacy of individuals.RMS Crime Incident data complies with Michigan Incident Crime Reporting (MICR) standards. More information about MICR standards is available via the MICR Website. The Manual and Arrest Charge Code Card may be especially helpful. There may be small differences between RMS Crime Incident data shared here and data shared through MICR given data presented here is updated here more frequently which results in a difference in a cadence of status updates. Additionally, this dataset includes crime incidents that following an investigation are coded with a case status of ‘Unfounded’. In most cases, this means that the incident occurred outside the jurisdiction of DPD or otherwise was reported in error. The State of Michigan, through the MICR program, reports data to the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS).Yearly Datasets for RMS Crime Incidents have been added to the ODP. This is to improve the user's experience in handling the large file size of the records in the comprehensive dataset. You may download each year separately, which significantly reduces the size and records for each file. In addition to the past years, we have also included a year-to-date dataset. This captures all RMS Crime Incidents from January 1, 2025, to present.Should you have questions about this dataset, you may contact the Commanding Officer of the Detroit Police Department's Crime Data Analytics at 313-596-2250 or CrimeIntelligenceBureau@detroitmi.gov
