Therefore, the 30-Day blotter will provide information for users seeking the most current information available. The UCR coding process creates a necessary delay before processed data is available for publication. This data is subject to change once it is processed and republished using Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) standards. The information is "semi-refined" meaning a police report was taken, but it has not made its way through the court system. All data is reported at the block/intersection level, with the exception of sex crimes, which are reported at the police zone level. The 30-Day Police Blotter contains the most recent initial crime incident data, updated on a nightly basis.
