Chicago police reports — 2025-02

February membership is a date field

The 16,072 rows are incidents with report dates in 2025-02, every IUCR primary type included. This page will not convert 16,072 into a daily rate, and it will not blame the calendar length for the total, because those claims are not in the packet. The factual statement is the indexed month count.

Valentine's Day, winter storms, and school calendars are not packet subtotals. If they produced reports, those rows sit inside 16,072 when the report date is in February. Filter the overlay by date if you need a shorter window.

Report date, not occurrence date, defines the 2025-02 slice. An occurrence in January that was reported in February is in. A February occurrence reported in March is not. This packet does not quantify that lag.

February 2025 in Chicago is 16,072 indexed CPD incidents with report dates in 2025-02. Do not turn that integer into a per-day rate; this packet does not support that math. Valentine's Day and winter-storm weeks are not broken out. Community area filters will show a subset of 16,072, not a second headline. Block-level pins are coarse public geography. LocalCrimeVault does not identify households.

Geography without inventing an area ranking

Official community area names appear when CPD published them. The 16,072 headline is Chicago as a whole. Do not quote it as Austin, Near North Side, or any other single area.

Block-level pins are coarse. They are not household identifications. A February cluster on the map is a set of report locations from the public extract.

LocalCrimeVault does not impute missing community areas. Rows without geography still count toward 16,072. Filtering them out of the table will make the visible set smaller than the headline.

On the 2025-02 overlay, official community area names are the geography this Chicago index supports when CPD published them. The 16,072 headline is not Austin, not Near North Side, and not any other single official area. Researchers who need one area should filter the table and caption the subset as a subset. Block-level coordinates, when present, are offset public-record locations. They do not identify a resident, a school, or a storefront by street number. CPD incident rows can lack an area; those rows still sit inside 16,072. LocalCrimeVault does not impute a community area to complete a pin map. Festival-corridor or lakefront density, if you observe it after sorting, is a table observation about report locations, not a packet fact about event crime. Keep 16,072 attached to Chicago as a whole for 2025-02.

Using the 2025-02 overlay

Sort by date, IUCR type, or community area. Arrest flags are not convictions. Unfounded or later-reclassified reports can remain until CPD updates the source row.

Later harvests can move 16,072. Cite it as the current indexed count for Chicago report dates in 2025-02, not as a locked annual statistic.

The 2025-02 table is the working surface for these 16,072 rows. Sort by date, by IUCR primary type, or by geography. An arrest field, if shown, is still an attribute of a CPD report. It is not a charging decision and not a guilty finding. Unfounded or later-reclassified rows can remain until the source extract changes. Missing coordinates stay missing. OEMC CAD calls that never became incident numbers sit outside the total. Unreported events never enter 16,072. Sealed or restricted records that CPD does not publish never enter 16,072. If a type filter reduces the table, the caption should say the slice is no longer the city-wide 2025-02 headline. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges inside the 16,072 mix.

What sits outside 16,072

OEMC CAD calls that never became incident rows, unreported events, and court dispositions are outside the total. Sealed records CPD does not publish never enter the 16,072.

This page does not compare February to January or March. Those other counts are not in this packet. Keep 16,072 attached to 2025-02.

Chicago hub and citation

The February overlay holds the 16,072-row table. The Chicago hub is the parent city view for other months, types, and community areas. Use the hub when 2025-02 is the wrong filter.

Citation form: 16,072 Chicago Police Department incidents with a report date in 2025-02, indexed on LocalCrimeVault from city open data. Counts are reports, not convictions. Report date can differ from occurrence date.

A durable citation for this page names the agency, the date field, the month, the integer, and the indexer: 2025 CPD incidents with a report date in 2025-02, indexed on LocalCrimeVault from city open data. Add that counts are reports, not convictions, and that report date can differ from occurrence date. If you filtered the overlay to one type or one community area, say so; that subset is no longer 2025. Later harvests can move the integer as CPD adds late-submitted rows or revises old ones. Do not mix this 2025-02 total with another month's count on a chart unless that other integer is actually in hand from its own packet. This file's facts support 16,072 only.

Documenting the 2025-02 harvest for Chicago

Chicago 2025-02 remains 2025 indexed CPD incidents with report dates in 2025-02 in this harvest. The overlay is the live table. The city hub is the parent view for other months and for type or geography pages that are not limited to 2025-02. Keep the reports-not-convictions clause next to 2025. LocalCrimeVault does not dramatize individual cases and does not turn 2025 into a ranking of neighborhoods, boroughs, or divisions.

Open data lags live dispatch. 2025 is the published extract LocalCrimeVault indexed for 2025-02, not a live CAD feed and not a promise that a portal query tomorrow returns the same integer. Record the month label 2025-02 next to 2025 if you republish the figure so a later snapshot is not silently mixed into the same sentence.
