Caveats

  • 2006 has no report: ISP's archived-report browser lists none for that year.
  • The 2014 offense-by-category table cannot be read from the source PDF; that year has no offense-type breakdown or DUI arrest figures.
  • The statewide offense total and rate always use the Facts At A Glance figure; in 2005 the detailed offense table's own total and rate disagreed with its arithmetic.
  • Offense category names have changed since 2005 (for example the 2013 rape-definition change), so categories are not identical across years.
  • County rates cover 2021-2025 only, from the five-year county trend table, printed to the whole number (the ranked county list prints Ada County as 2,909.34); no county offense counts are published.
  • In a county with few residents, one offense moves the rate by a large amount; Clark County has under 800 residents.
  • A city's rate is its own police department's rate on a different population base than the county rate; the two are not comparable.
  • City rates span 2013-2025 but not every city every year; Post Falls has none for 2020 or 2021.
