Intoxicated & Impaired Driving reports in New York City

What 2,297 Intoxicated & Impaired Driving reports measure

2,297 rows are coded Intoxicated & Impaired Driving as NYPD labeled the report. That published string is not the broader Vehicle And Traffic Laws type, which is a separate label on the same extract. The official published label is "Intoxicated & Impaired Driving." LocalCrimeVault does not rewrite that string.

The 2,297 figure is a count of incident records, not unique drivers, not crash totals, and not blood-alcohol results. Adding Vehicle And Traffic Laws into this bucket would mix a general traffic grouping with this impaired-driving string. NYPD kept them apart.

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 Intoxicated & Impaired Driving, it stays under that string here. This page does not split the 2,297 rows into alcohol, drug, or degree subtypes the packet does not contain.

A primary type is not a criminal conviction and is not a crash database. A single field event can involve more than one offense; the public extract typically exposes one published type per row. Other agencies may file similar events under DUI or DWI names that never appear in this New York City list.

Impaired-driving talk often mixes crashes, arrests, and license actions. This page holds only Intoxicated & Impaired Driving: 2,297 rows. Vehicle And Traffic Laws is a separate, larger type. This extract is one harvest of NYC Open Data as indexed on LocalCrimeVault, not a crash census and not a DMV file.

Impaired driving as a share of New York City reports

Relative to 400,500 New York City incidents, 2,297 reports coded Intoxicated & Impaired Driving are about 0.6 percent of the city file. That share describes labeling volume in a police incident extract, not miles driven and not a traffic-fatality rate.

Keep the denominator in view: 0.6 percent of the indexed city total is not an impairment rate. Rates need a population, VMT, or stop denominator that this packet does not include.

Reports, not convictions

An Intoxicated & Impaired Driving row means a report was taken and coded. It does not mean a prosecutor filed a charge, a judge entered a finding, or a license was suspended. Treating 2,297 as a conviction tally would overstate legal outcomes.

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 impaired-driving table

The type hub lists the 2,297 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 driver was involved.

Nothing in the 2,297 count tells you clearance, test results, or whether a crash was recorded. Those outcomes are outside this extract. If a filter reduces the table, you have left the headline on purpose.

A block range on an Intoxicated & Impaired Driving row is not a stop location with a street number and not a named driver. The 2,297 count does not include test results. Cite the type hub for the headline; cite a subset only with its own count.

Where to go next in the New York City data

Use the New York City type hub for the live table of these 2,297 rows. The city-wide New York City hub places this impaired-driving label beside Vehicle And Traffic Laws so the 0.6 percent share is visible next to the broader traffic grouping. 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 2,297 / 400,500 pair. Open-data crime files are living tables. Cite the overlay table for row-level fields. Keep reports and convictions in separate sentences. Do not treat this guide as a live dispatch feed or a court docket.

The headline count on this page is 2,297 indexed reports for the published type label against a city file of 400,500 reports. LocalCrimeVault indexes the public incident feed for New York City. Cite the overlay table for row-level fields. Keep reports and convictions in separate sentences. Do not treat this guide as a live dispatch feed, a victimization survey, or a court docket. If a later harvest moves the integer, the new snapshot is a new citation, not a silent revision of this page.

Questions

How many Intoxicated & Impaired Driving reports are in the New York City index?

This extract includes 2,297 New York City incidents coded Intoxicated & Impaired Driving. That is about 0.6 percent of 400,500 city incidents indexed on LocalCrimeVault. The figure counts police reports from NYC Open Data, not convictions, crashes, or unique drivers. NYPD assigned the type; LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.

Is Intoxicated & Impaired Driving the same as Vehicle And Traffic Laws?

No. This page covers only rows whose published type is Intoxicated & Impaired Driving (2,297 reports). Vehicle And Traffic Laws is a separate NYPD label. Mixing categories would inflate totals. Use the city hub if you need the mix of all types against 400,500 reports.

Does an impaired-driving 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 2,297 count should be read as report volume. Court records live outside this narrative.

Where does LocalCrimeVault get New York City impaired-driving 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.
