City crime information - Montgomery

The crime information on this page is compiled completely from the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center (ACJIC), a state agency headquartered in Montgomery that serves citizens by providing local, state and federal criminal justice agencies with critical information.  Summary tables present crime and crime clearance information for Montgomery over time.  This summary data presented below is simply a compilation of the ACJIC data, and this site is not responsible for the accuracy of those crime figures.

Important Terms:

   Clearance - A measure of law enforcement activity which shows that

               a crime has been solved for crime reporting

               purposes either by the arrest of a suspect or by

               exceptional means. Exceptional means provides a

               solution to a crime when there is enough evidence

               to place a formal charge against an offender, but

               some element beyond law enforcement control precludes

               an actual arrest. It is possible for one arrest to

               clear more than one offense.

   Clearance Rate - The clearance rate is achieved by taking the

                    number of clearances over the number of

                    crimes reported.
