Windsor Heights law enforcement officers grappled with 264 crimes against property in 2020, according to the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS).

This equals 22 per month in 2020.

Crimes against property include larcenies, obtaining property by false pretenses, shopliftings, thefts from motor vehicle, burglaries, breaking and enterings and damage or vandalisms.

Of all types of crime tracked by the NIBRS, shoplifting was the most popular crime handled by the Windsor Heights office.

Officers in Windsor Heights were involved in 365 incidents throughout the year.

The NIBRS was designed to provide detail and context around crime stats. Under the previous system, only the most serious crime related to an incident would be logged. If an incident involved a homicide as well as aggravated assault and theft, only a homicide would be recorded in criminal statistics.

It is used by law enforcement at all levels, from local to federal.
