Scottsdale Police Department Annual Statistics National & State Crime Statistics Beginning in January 2021, the Scottsdale Police Department began reporting crime statistics in the Uniformed Crime Reporting (UCR) National Incident Based Report System (NIBRS). Previously, the department reported under the Summary Reporting System (SRS). NIBRS is intended to provide more context to reported crime, in the following ways: • Incident specific data for 52 offenses (previously 10 in SRS) • Reported arrests for an additional ten offenses (previously 20 in SRS) • 58 data elements related to the criminal elements, and characteristics of victims and offenders (not previously reported), including • • • • Scottsdale Police Department Annual Statistics 2025 the relationship between victim/offender Type of injury or loss Location details Weapons involved 2 • With this change, published crime data is fluid and can change from month to month, as the department reports new information to the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) • National & State Crime Statistics • Under summary reporting, crimes were reported and published as of when the crime was reported to the police department. Under NIBRS, the crime is reported and published as of when the crime occurred. This means that as information is reported to the Scottsdale Police Department, any delayed reports will be submitted at the time received, but could be reported for the month that the crime occurred. This influences monthly data on an ongoing basis. • All official crime data can be found on the DPS Crime Statistics Dashboard • Scottsdale Police Department Annual Statistics 2025 Data is collected from participating agencies on a monthly basis and all charts reflect data processed prior to the current day. The current year does not reflect a full 12 months of data and should not be compared to previous years. 3 Authorized Employees (PCN) 800 721.88 700 659.3 658.3 679.88 672.8 663.8 663.7 662.7 659.3 679.88 600 312.88 257.3 258.3 258.3 262.7 263.7 263.8 264.8 401 401 401 400 400 400 408 400 400 409 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 279.88 279.88 500 400 300 200 100 0 Authorized Sworn Authorized Professional Staff Scottsdale Police Department Annual Statistics 2025 Total Positions 4 Calls for Service 300,000 250,000 200,000 150,000 100,000 50,000 0 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Calls for Service (Officer Initiated) 133,550 130,955 109,615 97,317 75,023 74,338 66,325 75,559 81,981 82,239 Calls for Service (Citizen Generated) 135,217 140,483 158,308 175,379 163,326 181,353 162,735 142,434 134,869 136,460 Calls for Service (All) 268,767 271,438 267,923 272,696 238,349 255,691 229,060 217,993 216,850 218,699 231,200 238,000 242,540 245,417 247,944 241,361 245,886 243,050 244,394 246,170 Population Scottsdale Police Department Annual Statistics 2025 5 Reports, Arrests, Contacts, and Citations 90,000 80,000 70,000 60,000 50,000 40,000 30,000 20,000 10,000 0 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Field Contact Cards 8,474 7,693 6,589 7,035 6,189 6,524 5,357 5,022 5,222 5,349 Arrests 14,641 14,957 13,804 13,021 8,938 10,354 10,054 8,556 9,868 10,024 Dep.
