Ypsilanti law enforcement officers grappled with 92 crimes against society in 2020, according to the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS).

This equals seven per month in 2020.

Crimes against society include drug equipment violations, drug and narcotic violations, weapon law violations, pornography and obscene materials violations, animal cruelties and assisting or promoting prostitution offenses.

Of all types of crime tracked by the NIBRS, drug and narcotic violation was the most popular crime handled by the Ypsilanti office.

Officers in Ypsilanti were involved in 1,877 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.
