Each
month, the Records Bureau provides a
detailed report of the total serious
crimes which occur in the city. These
reports are administered by the State
of California Department of Justice and
the Federal Bureau of Investigation to
monitor crime trends in California and
in America. Developed in 1920, the reporting
processes evolved to be called the Uniform
Crime Reporting and the Monthly Arrest
and Citation Register standards. Links
to detailed charts of the crime statistics
for the City of Cypress are listed below.
The
Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) is a
city, county and state law enforcement
program. This program provides a nationwide
view of crime based on the submission
of statistics by law enforcement agencies
throughout the country. Since
the incorporation of the City of Cypress,
the Cypress Police Department has participated
in this program and provided yearly
statistics in compliance with the Department
of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigations
standards. Every case report is evaluated
under the UCR requirements classifying
by seriousness and frequency, also
called Part 1 and 2 crimes, and scored
based on the hierarchy of the primary
offense.
The
City of Cypress Police Department has maintained
and published crime statistics with the
expectation of providing accurate compilations
to aide in community-oriented policing
facets and overall community awareness.
