| CRIMINAL STATISTICS (by year) |
The FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program, which began in 1929, collects information about crimes reported to the police. In 1982, BJS and the FBI sponsored a study of the UCR Program with the objective of revising it to meet law enforcement needs into the 21st century. A 5-year redesign effort to provide more comprehensive and detailed crime statistics resulted in the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) which collects data on each reported crime incident. The following table includes selected criminal complaints and calls for service.The Montpelier Police Department is a NIBRS reporting agency. (source:http://www.bjs.gov/content/nibrs.cfm)

*Log Reports were instituted in 2008 as a way to decrease the volume of paperwork for "minor"
calls for service, but still document the incident or complaint call. In general, most complaints
are handled by generating a complaint report or log report for documentation purposes.
