The Plano Police Department classifies and reports crime statistics according to the FBI Uniform Crime Report.  Each month a report is prepared and submitted to the FBI, through the Texas Department of Public Safety, that reports offenses known to the Plano Police Department.

The Planning and Research Unit also compiles a monthly Summary and Crime Comparison report that is submitted to and approved by the Chief of Police that provides information regarding Part I offenses, calls for service, traffic crashes and population estimates.  This report is available by clicking the link of the right "Summary and Crime Comparison."

The Uniform Crime Report published by the FBI is the official crime report of the Plano Police Department.  The information provided on this web site is done so entirely as a public service.

The FBI publishes the annual UCR Report, Crime in the United States.  The report is published in October of each year and covers the preceding calendar year.  A preliminary report of the previous year's crime statistics is available on the FBI's website in June of each year.
