Crime Reporting

The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program is a nationwide, cooperative statistical effort of more than 18,000 city, university and college, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies voluntarily reporting data on crimes brought to their attention. Since 1930, the FBI has administered the UCR Program and continued to assess and monitor the nature and type of crime in the Nation. The program’s primary objective is to generate reliable information for use in law enforcement administration, operation, and management; however, its data have over the years become one of the country’s leading social indicators. Criminologists, sociologists, legislators, municipal planners, the media, and other students of criminal justice use the data for varied research and planning purposes.

Crime Statistics

UCR Part 1 Crime statistics are the measurement that the police department uses most often to gauge progress in our efforts to decrease crime in our city.  Following crime decreases in 2018 and 2019, and a significant decrease in 2020 (possibly due to Covid), the number of reported crimes has increased in the last two years (12% in 2021 and 11% in 2022). The Brunswick Police Department employs multiple strategies in the effort to decrease crime including: a renewed focus on community oriented policing strategies; additional directed patrol enforcement; the utilization of new technologies; increased awareness and monitoring of gang-related crimes; and the creation of a multi-agency violent crime task force.
