Cannabis Related Offenses reports in New York City

What 207 Cannabis Related Offenses reports measure

207 rows are coded Cannabis Related Offenses as NYPD labeled them. Cannabis related offenses in this feed is a published grouping of remaining cannabis-coded police reports, not a legalization debate and not a count of licensed dispensaries.

Other narcotics or controlled-substance strings on the New York City feed stay outside this total unless they carry this exact label. The official published label is "Cannabis Related Offenses." LocalCrimeVault does not rewrite that string. The 207 figure is a count of incident records, not unique people, not unique plants or packages, and not a court caseload.

How NYPD type labels work on this feed

Every row on the New York City open-data incident extract carries a type field drawn from NYPD offense classification as published. If a report was written as Cannabis Related Offenses, it stays under that string here even when a reader might expect a different statute name after state law changes. This page does not split the 207 rows into possession, sale, or other 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. Statute names on a police extract can lag or differ from later charging decisions. Other agencies may file similar events under marijuana, cannabis, or narcotics names that never appear in this New York City list.

Cannabis Related Offenses as a share of New York City reports

Relative to 400,500 New York City incidents in this extract, 207 reports coded Cannabis Related Offenses are about 0.1 percent of the city file. That share describes labeling volume on the public police feed. It is not a measure of licensed-market size, street sales, or public opinion.

Keep the denominator in view: 0.1 percent of the indexed city total is not 0.1 percent of all drug-related activity in New York City, and it is not a crime rate. Rates need a population denominator that this packet does not include. Do not add 207 to other narcotics types to build an unofficial drug total unless you list every label.

Reports, not convictions

A Cannabis Related Offenses 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 207 as a conviction tally would overstate legal outcomes and understate how much volume in a big-city feed never reaches court.

New York City Police Department publishes the underlying incidents through NYC 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 Cannabis Related Offenses table

The type hub lists the 207 rows with the fields NYPD 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 shop, park, or resident was involved.

Nothing in the 207 count tells you clearance, quantity, or whether the event was later declined. Those outcomes are outside this extract. If a filter reduces the table, you have left the headline on purpose. This page does not advise anyone about cannabis law.

Where to go next in the New York City data

Use the New York City type hub for the live table of these 207 rows. The city-wide New York City hub places Cannabis Related Offenses beside other narcotics labels so the 0.1 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 207 / 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. Do not treat this guide as legal advice or a live dispatch feed.

The headline count on this page is 207 indexed reports for Cannabis Related Offenses against a city file of 400,500 reports. LocalCrimeVault indexes the public incident feed for New York City. This label is not a combined narcotics total. If a later harvest moves the integer, the new snapshot is a new citation.

Questions

How many Cannabis Related Offenses reports are in the New York City index?

This extract includes 207 New York City incidents coded Cannabis Related Offenses. That is about 0.1 percent of 400,500 city incidents indexed on LocalCrimeVault. The figure counts police reports from NYC Open Data, not convictions, arrests, or unique people. NYPD assigned the type; LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.

Is Cannabis Related Offenses the same as all narcotics reports?

No. This page covers only rows whose published type is Cannabis Related Offenses (207 reports). Other narcotics strings on the New York City feed are separate. Mixing categories would inflate totals and blur what each NYPD string records. Use the city hub if you need the mix of all types against 400,500 reports.

Does a Cannabis Related Offenses incident mean someone was convicted?

No. Public incident rows are reports. They can remain in the open-data feed if no arrest was made, if charges were declined, or if the case was later unfounded and not yet removed. The 207 count should be read as report volume. Court records live outside this narrative.

Where does LocalCrimeVault get New York City Cannabis Related Offenses counts?

Counts come from New York City Police Department incidents published on NYC Open Data and indexed here. Offense types are NYPD offense classification as published. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges. Compare the type table with the New York City hub if you need this label next to the other 400,500 city reports.
