2020: eight crimes against persons handled by Cheshire law enforcement

36edited

Cheshire law enforcement officers grappled with eight crimes against persons in 2020, according to the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS).

Crimes against persons include simple assaults, aggravated assaults, intimidations, kidnappings and abductions, fondling offences and rapes.

Of all types of crime tracked by the NIBRS, simple assault was the most popular crime handled by the Cheshire office.

Officers in Cheshire were involved in 40 incidents throughout the year.

The NIBRS was designed to provide detail and context around crime stats. Under the previous system, only the most serious crime related to an incident would be logged. If an incident involved a homicide as well as aggravated assault and theft, only a homicide would be recorded in criminal statistics.

It is used by law enforcement at all levels, from local to federal.
