Arrests by Agency |
|
The data presented represent the rate or number of adults arrested, not the number/rate of offenses committed. Individuals are reported in the month and year they are arrested, rather than the date the crime was committed. Several adults can be arrested for the same offense, or one adult can be arrested on multiple offenses, in which case the arrest would be counted only once for the most serious offense.
Rates are based on the adult population in Larimer and Jackson counties (8th Judicial District). All Loveland Police Department (LVPD) rates and numbers from 2003 are estimates based on extrapolations from four months of data the agency submitted to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. Categories of arrests are:
- Crimes Against Persons: Murder; Manslaughter; Forcible Rape; Robbery; Felony and Simple Assault; Other Sex Offenses; and Crimes against Family and Children
- Fraud/Property Crimes: Burglary; Larceny; Theft; Motor Vehicle Theft; Arson; Forgery and Counterfeiting; Fraud; Embezzlement, Buying/Receiving/ Possessing Stolen Property; and Vandalism
- Alcohol & Drug Offenses: DUI; Liquor Law Violations; Drunk and Disorderly; Manufacture, Sale, Possession, Distribution, and Cultivation of Illegal Drugs/Narcotics
- 'Other' crimes: Weapons Violation; Prostitution; Gambling; Vagrancy; Curfew and Loitering Violations; Runaways; and Other Violations (not including traffic)

What the above data tell us: In 2010, the rate of total adult arrests in the 8th Judicial District (44.5 per 1,000 adults) increased by 1.4% from the previous year (43.9 per 1,000 adults). Of the four categories of crime, the 'Property/Fraud' category saw the largest decline (25.8%) between 2001 and 2010.
The number of adult narcotic arrests increased steadily between 2002 and 2004. Since 2005, the average number of narcotic arrests per year has been 791, a 26.3% decrease from the high of 1,073 in 2004.
Alcohol/Drug - Narcotics - Methamphetamine: A major increase in local use and distribution of methamphetamine (meth) resulted in a corresponding surge in 'Narcotics' arrests between 2000 and 2004.
Between 2001 and 2004, the total number of 'Narcotics' arrests increased nearly 74% in the 8th Judicial District. Most local law enforcement agencies reported increases in 'Narcotics' arrests during this same time, including the Larimer County Sheriff's Office (197%). Meth arrests can involve lengthy investigations and associated risks such as offenders' possession of multiple weapons in addition to meth charges. These factors necessitate an exponential increase in the use of law enforcement, pretrial detention space and court resources, as compared to other arrests. In other words, an increase in meth arrests causes a disproportionate use of criminal justice resources.
Additional Information:
- Definition of Methamphetamine (meth) - A powerful illegal stimulant that activates certain systems in the brain. This substance is closely related chemically to amphetamine, but the central nervous system effects of methamphetamine are greater. (From www.streetdrugs.org - Partners in Training and Education).
