New York City police reports — 2024-12

Year-end report dates, not a tourist ledger

The 38,780 rows are every indexed NYPD incident whose report date falls in 2024-12, across published offense classifications. Christmas, New Year's Eve, and year-end retail hours are not packet subtotals. If those days produced reports, they sit inside 38,780 when the report date is in December. This page will not attribute the month total to Times Square or to any holiday.

Report date is the membership rule. An earlier occurrence that was reported in December is in. A December occurrence reported in January 2025 is not in this slice. The packet does not quantify that lag.

Offense labels on the overlay are NYPD's published strings, including truncated statute names as they appear in the source. Filter for one type if you need it. The month page does not recode charges and does not publish a type mix, because type counts are not in the facts.

New York City in 2024-12 is 38,780 indexed NYPD incidents with report dates in 2024-12. Times Square and Midtown pins, if dense, are report locations on an offset map, not a tourist-crime rate. This packet has no population denominator. Christmas and New Year's Eve are inside 38,780 only when the report date falls in December. Offense labels are NYPD's published strings, including truncated statute names.

Boroughs versus the city headline

Borough names appear when NYPD published them. The 38,780 headline belongs to New York City as a whole, not to Manhattan, not to Brooklyn, and not to a precinct. Precincts, community districts, and neighborhood tabulation areas are different geographies.

Midtown and transit-adjacent pins may look dense in a December table. That is a table observation about report locations, not a packet fact about tourist-season crime. Location fields are often offset; they are not venue identifications.

Blank borough fields still count toward 38,780. Filtering them out of the overlay will shrink the visible set below the headline.

On the 2024-12 overlay, borough labels are the geography this New York City index supports when NYPD published them. The 38,780 headline is not Brooklyn, not Manhattan, not Queens, not the Bronx, and not Staten Island as a standalone total. Precincts, community districts, and neighborhood tabulation areas are different systems and will not add to 38,780 unless the borough field is also on the row. Location fields on NYC Open Data are often offset. They are not a promise that a named address was involved. A dense cluster on the 2024-12 map is a set of report pins, not a building accusation. Blank borough fields still count toward 38,780. Filtering them out shrinks the visible set. Stay with the borough field and the city-wide 38,780 when you cite this page.

Working the 2024-12 table

Sort by date, offense classification, or borough. Arrest fields are not convictions. Missing coordinates stay blank. LocalCrimeVault does not impute geography.

Later harvests can move 38,780 as NYPD adds late rows or revises old ones. Cite the integer as the current indexed count for 2024-12 report dates.

The 2024-12 table is the working surface for these 38,780 rows. Sort by date, by published offense classification, or by geography. An arrest field, if shown, is still an attribute of a NYPD 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. Events that never became NYC Open Data rows sit outside the total. Unreported events never enter 38,780. Sealed or restricted records that NYPD does not publish never enter 38,780. If a type filter reduces the table, the caption should say the slice is no longer the city-wide 2024-12 headline. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges inside the 38,780 mix.

What 38,780 is not

It is not 911 call volume, not unique defendants, and not a prosecutor file. Unreported events never enter the extract. Sealed records NYPD does not publish never enter the 38,780.

This page does not compare December 2024 to November 2024. Those other counts are not in this packet. Keep 38,780 attached to 2024-12.

Hub, overlay, and citation

The 2024-12 overlay is the live table for these 38,780 rows. The New York City hub is the parent city view for other months, offense types, and borough pages. Use the hub when December is the wrong window.

Citation: 38,780 NYPD incidents with a report date in 2024-12, indexed on LocalCrimeVault from NYC Open Data. Counts are reports, not convictions. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify NYPD charges.

A durable citation for this page names the agency, the date field, the month, the integer, and the indexer: 2024 NYPD incidents with a report date in 2024-12, indexed on LocalCrimeVault from NYC 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 borough, say so; that subset is no longer 2024. Later harvests can move the integer as NYPD adds late-submitted rows or revises old ones. Do not mix this 2024-12 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 38,780 only.

Documenting the 2024-12 harvest for New York City

New York City 2024-12 remains 2024 indexed NYPD incidents with report dates in 2024-12 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 2024-12. Keep the reports-not-convictions clause next to 2024. LocalCrimeVault does not dramatize individual cases and does not turn 2024 into a ranking of neighborhoods, boroughs, or divisions.

Open data lags live dispatch. 2024 is the published extract LocalCrimeVault indexed for 2024-12, not a live CAD feed and not a promise that a portal query tomorrow returns the same integer. Record the month label 2024-12 next to 2024 if you republish the figure so a later snapshot is not silently mixed into the same sentence.
