40edited

Summit law enforcement officers grappled with 670 crimes against persons in 2020, according to the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS).

This equals 55 per month in 2020.

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, intimidation was the most popular crime handled by the Summit office.

Officers in Summit were involved in 2,664 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.
