Los Angeles police reports — 2023-02

February membership is a date field

The 18,106 rows are incidents with report dates in 2023-02, every published crime-code category included. This page will not convert 18,106 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, awards-season civic calendars, and atmospheric-river weather weeks are not packet subtotals. If they produced reports, those rows sit inside 18,106 when the report date is in February. Filter the overlay by date if you need a shorter window.

Report date, not date-occurred, defines the 2023-02 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.

Los Angeles in 2023-02 is 18,106 indexed LAPD incidents with report dates in 2023-02. Do not convert 18,106 into a daily rate. Valentine's Day and rain weeks are not broken out. Division blanks still count toward 18,106. LocalCrimeVault does not guess a division from a nearby pin. Arrest fields are not convictions. Later harvests can still revise the integer.

Geography without inventing a division ranking

LAPD geographic division names appear when LAPD published them. The 18,106 headline is Los Angeles as a whole. Do not quote it as Hollywood, Central, or any other single division.

Block-level pins are often offset to a reporting area. 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 divisions. Rows without geography still count toward 18,106. Filtering them out of the table will make the visible set smaller than the headline. Council districts are a different system.

On the 2023-02 overlay, LAPD geographic division names are the geography this Los Angeles index supports when LAPD published them. The 18,106 headline is not Hollywood, not Central, not Newton, and not any other single division. Council districts, Census tracts, and informal Westside or Valley nicknames are different maps. They will not add to 18,106 unless the division field is the field LAPD stored. Location fields are often offset to a block or reporting area. They are not door-level identifications. Blank division fields still count toward 18,106. LocalCrimeVault does not fill them. Stay with the division table and the city-wide 18,106 when you cite 2023-02.

Using the 2023-02 overlay

Sort by date, crime-code category, or division. Arrest fields are not convictions. Unfounded or later-reclassified reports can remain until LAPD updates the source row.

Later harvests can move 18,106. Cite it as the current indexed count for Los Angeles report dates in 2023-02, not as a locked annual statistic.

The 2023-02 table is the working surface for these 18,106 rows. Sort by date, by published crime-code category, or by geography. An arrest field, if shown, is still an attribute of a LAPD 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. CAD events that never became LA Open Data rows sit outside the total. Unreported events never enter 18,106. Sealed or restricted records that LAPD does not publish never enter 18,106. If a type filter reduces the table, the caption should say the slice is no longer the city-wide 2023-02 headline. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges inside the 18,106 mix.

What sits outside 18,106

911 calls that never became open-data rows, unreported events, and court dispositions are outside the total. Sealed records LAPD does not publish never enter the 18,106.

This page does not compare February to January or March. Those other counts are not in this packet. Keep 18,106 attached to 2023-02.

Los Angeles hub and citation

The February overlay holds the 18,106-row table. The Los Angeles hub is the parent city view for other months, offense types, and division pages. Use the hub when 2023-02 is the wrong filter.

Citation form: 18,106 LAPD incidents with a report date in 2023-02, indexed on LocalCrimeVault from LA Open Data. Counts are reports, not convictions. Report date can differ from date-occurred.

A durable citation for this page names the agency, the date field, the month, the integer, and the indexer: 2023 LAPD incidents with a report date in 2023-02, indexed on LocalCrimeVault from LA 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 division, say so; that subset is no longer 2023. Later harvests can move the integer as LAPD adds late-submitted rows or revises old ones. Do not mix this 2023-02 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 18,106 only.

Documenting the 2023-02 harvest for Los Angeles

Los Angeles 2023-02 remains 2023 indexed LAPD incidents with report dates in 2023-02 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 2023-02. Keep the reports-not-convictions clause next to 2023. LocalCrimeVault does not dramatize individual cases and does not turn 2023 into a ranking of neighborhoods, boroughs, or divisions.

Open data lags live dispatch. 2023 is the published extract LocalCrimeVault indexed for 2023-02, not a live CAD feed and not a promise that a portal query tomorrow returns the same integer. Record the month label 2023-02 next to 2023 if you republish the figure so a later snapshot is not silently mixed into the same sentence.
