** 2009 CRIME STATISTICS REPORTS  NOW AVAILABLE**

The Eugene Police Department receives about 99,000 calls for service, files about 22,000 case reports, writes about 18,000 traffic citations, and makes about 16,000 arrests each year. In the files linked at right you will find a wide variety of statistical reports detailing the number and type of Eugene Police incidents and cases, along with additional statistical information.

In many of these reports, criminal offenses are grouped in one of two ways: Part I and Part II crimes; or person, property, and behavioral crimes.

The "Part I / Part II" distinction is determined by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for its Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) system; Part I crimes are considered by the FBI as the most serious and similar offenses reported by law enforcement within the United States, while Part II crimes are the less serious and may have less similarity in their reporting by each agency.

The "person, property, and behavioral" crime categories are based on the broad type of crime rather than the severity. Person crimes include criminal offenses in which the victim is present and the act is violent, threatening, or has the potential of being physically harmful; examples include homicide, robbery, kidnapping, assault, rape, and other sex offenses. Property crimes include offenses which involve property destruction or taking something of value by theft or deception; examples include burglary, vehicle theft, other thefts, forgery and fraud, arson, and vandalism. Behavioral crimes include criminal offenses that violate laws relating to personal conduct, responsibility, and public order; these include prostitution, drug and alcohol offenses, weapons offenses, and disorderly conduct.
