Criminal Statistics

Pennsylvania Code 22 Pa. Code § 33.111-Reporting crime statistics and rates requires the DUPD to submit Uniform Crime Report numbers monthly to the State Police for publication in the Pennsylvania Uniform Crime Report, Crime in Pennsylvania.

The following criminal statistics detail three calendar years’ worth of the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Part I offenses from 2023-2025 that were reported to the DUPD and subsequently submitted to the Pennsylvania State Police for inclusion in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) UCR program. The statistics on the dashboard show only those incidents that were responded to by DUPD, whereas UCR statistics that get reported to the State Police include all incidents reported to DUPD, regardless of whether they were handled by DUPD. The statistics on this page represent the number of reported incidents, not the finding of the incidents.

Part I offenses include crimes against both persons and property (regardless of whether the individuals involved are affiliated with Drexel), such as:

  • Assault
  • Burglary
  • Larceny
  • Motor Vehicle Theft
  • Murder
  • Rape
  • Robbery

More information about criminal statistics is available on the Clery Act and PA Uniform Crime Reporting webpage.
