The shooting and weapon possession would both be classified as a weapon law violations offense type. Since each unique offense type is counted once per incident, only one weapons law violation would be counted. Possession of heroin would be considered the offense type of drug/narcotics violation while possession of the syringe would be the offense type of drug equipment violation. One drug/narcotics violation and one drug equipment violation would be counted on the incident for a total of two drug offenses.

Prior to April 2015, PPB reported statistics using the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program’s Summary Reporting System (SRS).  The SRS used a hierarchy to decide which offense to report.  In the hierarchy system, only the highest or most serious offense is reported on each case.  NIBRS requires all unique offense types be reported on a case.  The different reporting processes prevent any crime statistics prior to April 2015 from being compared to current NIBRS data.

SRS reported Part I crime which included the 8 most serious offenses and Part II crime which included lesser offenses.  NIBRS reports Group A offenses, which includes all Part I crime, most Part II crime, and some crimes previously not included in SRS reporting.  NIBRS also includes a Group B offense type which is only used when reporting arrest statistics.  Group B offenses capture most of the Part II crime not included in Group A as well as offenses not included in SRS reporting.  As a result, Total Group A offenses are not comparable to total Part I and/or Part II offenses, SRS person crime is not comparable to NIBRS Crimes Against Persons, and SRS property crime is not comparable to NIBRS Crimes Against Property.  The difference between NIBRS and SRS can be better understood by revisiting the examples above.

Note: Justifiable Homicide is an offense tracked under NIBRS, but is not a crime and therefore, not included in the offense statistics.

How did the Town's current traffic control signage, including entry restriction and permit parking signage, evolve?The Town's current traffic control signage evolved over many years based on periodic traffic studies, resident requests, and recommendations from the Town's traffic engineer. Parking restrictions have been instituted on Town streets in the western and northern parts of Town given their proximity to downtown Bethesda and the Bethesda Metro and the need to prevent commuters from parking on these streets. Residents may petition the Town to designate streets as permit parking areas. The Town's permit parking regulations are available here.

You may report an ongoing concern to the Town office, and the Town's Public Services Committee (see below) will be asked to address it. It is important to note that the Town has hundreds of traffic control signs within the Town, so enforcement is, by default, complaint-based, and the Town maintains a list of "hot spots," or locations that experience a high number of reported violations, where the officers are asked to maintain a more regular presence.

The Portland Police Bureau was one of 400 law enforcement agencies recruited to participate in the National Crime Statistics Exchange (NCS-X), a program designed to compile a national sample of incident-based crime data using the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). PPB's participation in NCS-X facilitated a switch to NIBRS in April 2015 and subsequently changed the way reported crime statistics are calculated and presented. NIBRS was designed to provide a more comprehensive view of the occurrence of crime when compared to traditional reporting systems. NIBRS does this by reporting all unique offenses within an incident rather than just the most serious offense and by reporting more offense types. The following information is intended to explain how offense statistics are counted under NIBRS, how NIBRS differs from traditional reporting methods, and how the change impacts the comparison of new crime statistics to statistics calculated using the old methods.

NIBRS is an incident-based reporting system where all offenses committed by the same offender, or group of offenders acting in concert, at the same time and place are considered to be part of the same incident.  This results in a single report for the incident where multiple victims, offenses, and offenders may be listed.   Prior to April 2015, an incident with multiple victims, offenders, or offenses may have led to multiple reports and multiple cases.

Does the Town use "Local Traffic Only" signs? The Town has not installed "Local Traffic Only" signs for over 20 years. According to our traffic engineer and our off-duty police officers, such signs are ambiguous and unenforceable, as “local traffic” is not defined. “Through traffic” is an enforceable sign term and applies to all motorists, whereas "Local Traffic Only" signs can be construed to restrict access to Town streets to residents only, and that is not legal given that our streets are public streets.
