Document Forgery / Stolen Felony reports in Los Angeles

What 1,228 Document Forgery / Stolen Felony reports measure

1,228 rows are coded Document Forgery / Stolen Felony as LAPD labeled them. The string covers document forgery or stolen-document felony reports as published, not a combined identity-theft file and not a count of unique victims.

Other fraud, bunco, and embezzlement strings on the Los Angeles feed stay outside this total. Do not add them to 1,228 unless you list every label. The official published label is "Document Forgery / Stolen Felony." LocalCrimeVault does not rewrite that string. The 1,228 figure is a count of incident records, not unique people, not recovered documents, and not a dollar-loss total the packet does not contain.

How LAPD type labels work on this feed

Every row on the Los Angeles open-data incident extract carries a type field drawn from LAPD crime-code / MO category as published. If a report was written as Document Forgery / Stolen Felony, it stays under that string here even when a reader might say "fake ID" or "stolen check." This page does not split the 1,228 rows into check, ID, title, or other document subtypes the packet does not contain.

A primary type is not a criminal conviction and is not a UCR hierarchy rule applied after the fact. Felony in the published label is LAPD's wording on the extract, not a court finding that a felony was proven. Other agencies may file similar events under forgery, identity theft, or deceptive-practice names that never appear in this list.

Document Forgery / Stolen Felony as a share of Los Angeles reports

Relative to 400,500 Los Angeles incidents in this extract, 1,228 reports coded Document Forgery / Stolen Felony are about 0.3 percent of the city file. That share describes labeling volume. It does not say which neighborhoods filed more reports; geography lives on the table, not in this headline.

Keep the denominator in view: 0.3 percent of the indexed city total is not 0.3 percent of all financial harm in Los Angeles, and it is not a crime rate. Rates need a population or account-volume denominator that this packet does not include.

Reports, not convictions

A Document Forgery / Stolen Felony row means a report was taken and coded. It does not mean a prosecutor filed a charge, a judge entered a finding, or a person was identified. Treating 1,228 as a conviction tally would overstate legal outcomes and understate how much volume in a big-city feed never reaches court.

Los Angeles Police Department publishes the underlying incidents through LA Open Data. LocalCrimeVault indexes that feed. If the agency later updates a record, the public count can move. This page describes the extract as harvested, not a forecast and not a neighborhood safety score.

How to read the Document Forgery / Stolen Felony table

The type hub lists the 1,228 rows with the fields LAPD shares publicly: date, coarse location, and related attributes. Block ranges are intentionally coarse. They are not street-number addresses, and they are not proof that a named bank, DMV office, or resident was involved.

Nothing in the 1,228 count tells you clearance, restitution, or whether a document was recovered. Those outcomes are outside this extract. If a filter reduces the table, you have left the headline on purpose.

Where to go next in the Los Angeles data

Use the Los Angeles type hub for the live table of these 1,228 rows. The city-wide Los Angeles hub places Document Forgery / Stolen Felony beside bunco, embezzlement, and other fraud labels so the 0.3 percent share is visible without merging those strings. A cross-city view of the same type slug exists; definitions still follow each agency's feed.

If you are documenting a method, record the extract and the 1,228 / 400,500 pair. Open-data crime files are living tables. A later harvest can add late-submitted reports or drop rows the agency has sealed or corrected. Cite the overlay table for row-level fields. Keep reports and convictions in separate sentences.

The headline count on this page is 1,228 indexed reports for Document Forgery / Stolen Felony against a city file of 400,500 reports. LocalCrimeVault indexes the public incident feed for Los Angeles. Felony in the published label remains LAPD wording, not a court finding. If a later harvest moves the integer, the new snapshot is a new citation.

Questions

How many Document Forgery / Stolen Felony reports are in the Los Angeles index?

This extract includes 1,228 Los Angeles incidents coded Document Forgery / Stolen Felony. That is about 0.3 percent of 400,500 city incidents indexed on LocalCrimeVault. The figure counts police reports from LA Open Data, not convictions, arrests, or unique offenders. LAPD assigned the type; LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.

Is Document Forgery / Stolen Felony the same as identity theft or bunco?

No. This page covers only rows whose published type is Document Forgery / Stolen Felony (1,228 reports). Bunco, embezzlement, and other fraud strings on the Los Angeles feed are separate. Mixing categories would inflate totals and blur what each LAPD string records. Use the city hub if you need the mix of all types against 400,500 reports.

Does a Document Forgery / Stolen Felony incident mean someone was convicted?

No. Public incident rows are reports. Felony in the published label is LAPD wording, not a court finding. Rows can remain in the feed if no arrest was made or if charges were declined. The 1,228 count should be read as report volume. Court records live outside this narrative.

Where does LocalCrimeVault get Los Angeles Document Forgery / Stolen Felony counts?
