Narcotics police reports in Chicago

Narcotics × Chicago is one IUCR join

The join keeps primary type Narcotics and city Chicago. 11,920 is the only integer this packet publishes. Chicago Police Department primary type Narcotics is the IUCR drug-offense family on the public incident file. It is not Other Offense, not Weapons Violation, and not a medical examiner overdose file. Source: municipal open-data police reports on the Chicago Data Portal, using IUCR primary types.

This page is not an overdose dashboard, a treatment-bed census, or a conviction docket. Related published types on the same feed include Other Offense, Weapons Violation, and Deceptive Practice. Those strings are other hubs. Adding them to 11,920 would invent a combined total the packet does not contain. Narcotics in Chicago is the live overlay for this pair.

A drug-offense family, not a treatment census

Chicago publishes this feed through the Chicago Data Portal. Chicago Police Department assigned the type; LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges. Chicago’s 77 official community areas are unpublished splits on this packet, so no community-area subtotal is quoted. Chicago crime hub places this type beside other Chicago labels without merging them.

How CPD stores IUCR Narcotics

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. Possession versus delivery splits and drug-type splits are unpublished. Do not invent heroin versus other-substance subtotals from this packet.

Chicago Police Department primary type Narcotics is the IUCR drug-offense family on the public incident file. It is not Other Offense, not Weapons Violation, and not a medical examiner overdose file. Possession versus delivery splits and drug-type splits are unpublished. Do not invent heroin versus other-substance subtotals from this packet. Cite 11,920 only as Narcotics in Chicago. Narcotics 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 narcotics rows are not a neighborhood ranking

11,920 Narcotics reports in Chicago is a file statistic. It is not a rate, not a household risk score, and not a ranking of Chicago. 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.

Hubs for Narcotics in Chicago

Use Narcotics in Chicago for the live table of these 11,920 rows. Chicago crime hub is the Chicago parent. Narcotics across cities is the type parent across cities. All crime ties lists other offense-and-city joins built the same way. Prefer those tables after later ingests if this snapshot and the overlay diverge. Drug subtypes, weights, and community-area subtotals are unpublished here.

A later news total that drops attempts, folds a sibling type into Narcotics, or uses a different harvest window will not match 11,920. Unfounded reports can remain on the Chicago Data Portal until the source file updates. If a charging document later uses a different statute, the public incident row may not change.

This packet has no population denominator, so no per-capita rate is published. It has no unique-offender count, no clearance rate, and no loss-dollar total. Community-area splits of Narcotics are unpublished. A map of 77 areas would invent geography this join does not have. Keep Chicago Police Department named when you footnote 11,920. Reports stay reports. Drug subtypes, weights, and community-area subtotals are unpublished here.

Keep the citation narrow: Narcotics in Chicago, 11,920 municipal open-data police reports, Chicago Police Department coding as published, with no invented contractors, recipients, or donor names. Drug subtypes, weights, and community-area subtotals are unpublished here.

Narcotics in Chicago is a pair, not a ranking of cities and not a ranking of offense types. Later portal extracts can move 11,920; prefer the live overlay when this snapshot and the table diverge.
