CivicScout counts Sacramento Police Department offense reports that carry a map location inside the Downtown neighborhood outline. About 1 in 5 offense reports, and about 2 in 5 reports of serious violent crime, carries no map location and is not counted (none of the rape, sexual-assault or murder reports does, nor most serious domestic-violence assaults), so the counts understate crime, violent crime included, and cannot show that an area has little of it. The police’s separate incident reports, a third of the feed, are not counted either. Sex offenses are shown at block level, about 100 meters. Incidents handled by the Sheriff, by campus, state and airport police and by neighboring cities’ police departments do not appear.
