Los Angeles police reports — 2023-04

April 2023 as a time filter

Each of the 18,365 rows is a published police incident whose report date sits in 2023-04. Crime-code categories are mixed. This page will not publish a violent-crime subtotal. Filter LAPD category labels on the overlay if you need one type.

Easter, spring-break calendars, and tax-deadline civic weeks are not packet facts. If those days produced reports, they are inside 18,365 only when the report date is in April. Do not treat 18,365 as a holiday-week statistic.

Date-occurred can sit outside April even when the report was taken inside it. This harvest does not split those columns. Stay with report date as the membership rule for 18,365.

Los Angeles in 2023-04 is 18,365 indexed LAPD incidents with report dates in 2023-04. Easter and spring-break weeks are not packet subtotals. Date-occurred can sit outside April. Researchers who export rows are still looking at police reports. Unfounded rows can remain until LAPD updates the source extract. Court dispositions are a different dataset.

Division geography on the April slice

When LAPD populated the geographic division field, the overlay shows that name. The 18,365 headline is still Los Angeles as a whole. Adding a handful of divisions will undershoot 18,365 if other rows are blank or filtered out.

Map pins are often offset to a block or reporting area. They are not door-level identifications. A dense April cluster is a set of report locations, not a named-building accusation.

Researchers who need one division should filter the 2023-04 table rather than quoting 18,365 as that division's volume. Council districts and informal neighborhood names are different systems.

On the 2023-04 overlay, LAPD geographic division names are the geography this Los Angeles index supports when LAPD published them. The 18,365 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 18,365 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 18,365. LocalCrimeVault does not fill them. Stay with the division table and the city-wide 18,365 when you cite 2023-04.

Arrest fields and later harvests

An arrest field on an April row is still an attribute of a report. It is not a charging decision and not a guilty finding. Blank arrest fields do not prove that an event was minor.

Missing coordinates stay missing. LocalCrimeVault does not fill them. Later LAPD extracts can revise 18,365 as rows are added, corrected, or removed.

The 2023-04 table is the working surface for these 18,365 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 18,365. Sealed or restricted records that LAPD does not publish never enter 18,365. If a type filter reduces the table, the caption should say the slice is no longer the city-wide 2023-04 headline. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges inside the 18,365 mix.

What this April page excludes

It is not a 911 log, not a victimization survey, and not a court docket. Unreported events never enter 18,365. CAD calls that never became open-data rows are outside the total.

Do not compare 18,365 to another month on this page. Other month integers live on their own packets.

Overlay, hub, and how to cite

Stay on the 2023-04 overlay for the 18,365-row table. Step up to the Los Angeles hub for offense-type pages and division pages that are not limited to April. Pair any filtered subset with a caption that says you left the city-wide month headline.

Citation: 18,365 LAPD incidents with a report date in 2023-04, indexed on LocalCrimeVault from LA Open Data. Counts are reports, not convictions.

Source notes for 2023-04

LAPD publishes the incident extract; LocalCrimeVault indexes monthly slices by report date. The 18,365 figure matches this harvest, not a live query you run later on the portal.

LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify LAPD charges in the April mix. Keep the reports-not-convictions clause next to the number if you republish it.

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 2023-04, 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 2023-04 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 18,365 only.
