Key stats

What these numbers mean

Two features stand out in King's 2023 numbers: Other was the top category, and its leading subcategories — Threats (65), Traffic & MVC (54), and Harassment (53) — are specific recorded events rather than leftover miscellany. On the property side, Theft (207) outnumbered Auto theft (130), Mischief (122), and Fraud (96). The 1,107 total ranks second in the six-year archive, behind 2024's 1,156, so 2023 was a high-count year without being the peak.
