- Forgery is NYPD’s stored document-offense class, not an identity-theft recode.

Forgery × New York City is one NYPD join
The join keeps primary type Forgery and city New York City. 4,668 is the only integer this packet publishes. Forgery is the NYPD complaint label as published. It is not Other Offenses Related To Theft and not a recode of Los Angeles Theft Of Identity. Instrument subtypes are unpublished on this packet. Source: municipal open-data police reports on NYC Open Data, using NYPD complaint / Penal Law labels.
How NYPD stores Forgery complaints
This page is not a bank-loss ledger, an FTC identity file, or a conviction docket. Related published types on the same feed include Other Offenses Related To Theft, Offenses Against Public Admini, and Miscellaneous Penal Law. Those strings are other hubs. Adding them to 4,668 would invent a combined total the packet does not contain. Forgery in New York City is the live overlay for this pair.
New York City publishes this feed through NYC Open Data. New York Police Department assigned the type; LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges. The five boroughs are unpublished splits on this packet, so no borough-and-precinct subtotal is quoted. New York City crime hub places this type beside other New York City labels without merging them.
A forgery complaint class, not a bank-loss file
A pin on the overlay is a report location, usually a coarse block range, not a named household and not proof that a court later used the same statute. Arrest flags, when present on the source row, are not convictions. Do not recode Forgery as identity theft. Check, ID, and currency subtypes are unpublished. Borough splits are unpublished.
Forgery is the NYPD complaint label as published. It is not Other Offenses Related To Theft and not a recode of Los Angeles Theft Of Identity. Instrument subtypes are unpublished on this packet. Do not recode Forgery as identity theft. Check, ID, and currency subtypes are unpublished. Borough splits are unpublished. Cite 4,668 only as Forgery in New York City. Forgery across cities shows the same type slug in other cities that publish a matching string; coding still follows each agency’s file, so those tables are not a standardized national series.
Why forgery rows are not a borough ranking
4,668 Forgery reports in New York City is a file statistic. It is not a rate, not a household risk score, and not a ranking of New York City. Population, housing stock, tourist volume, and how often people call the police all move raw counts without appearing in this packet. Correlation between city and count is not causation.
A later news total that drops attempts, folds a sibling type into Forgery, or uses a different harvest window will not match 4,668. Unfounded reports can remain on NYC Open Data until the source file updates. If a charging document later uses a different statute, the public incident row may not change.
