Crime Stats in MS Access Database and MS Excel Spreadsheet
The Positive Interaction Program (PIP) Stats, commonly called the PIP Crime Bulletin, is provided here monthly as Microsoft Access databases and as Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. The files should be downloaded and saved to your computer for viewing, searching, etc. You must have Microsoft Access or Microsoft Excel installed on your computer in order to view these files. If you do not have Access or Excel, you can view the same information in a different format by visiting the Neighborhood (Police Beat) Crime Statistics area (see above section.) Each month's stats are posted around the end of the following month. (Example: January stats will be posted around February 25th - 28th.) Excel spreadsheets were added on June 1, 2006 because we discovered a firewall issue many users on university networks were encountering when trying to open Access databases from our web site.
Please note: The data presented in the above reports is NOT the official Crime Statistics (UCR) for the Houston Police Department. This data is being provided prior to the release of the Department's Official Monthly Uniform Crime Report. For information on requesting UCR data and other reports, please see our Public Information page . For UCR data, see below.
Uniform Crime Report (UCR) Data
The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program was conceived in 1929 by the International Association of Chiefs of Police to meet a need for reliable, uniform crime statistics for the nation. In 1930, the FBI was tasked with collecting, publishing, and archiving those statistics, which are submitted by nearly 17,000 local law enforcement agencies throughout the U.S. Many annual statistical publications are produced from this data. To review the national publications, see the UCR section of the FBI's web site.
For Houston's UCR data, select the report you wish to view below. These are Adobe PDF files. You will need the free Acrobat Reader installed on your computer to view them.
