Records and Statistics

The Records Retention division maintains Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) for police records and fulfills requests for open records pertaining to the Police Department.

Each year, WPD submits its UCR data to the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). These crime stats are separated into Part 1 and Part 2 crimes.

The city’s crime rate is calculated on Part 1 crimes (crime index) per 100,000 population, which is the industry standard selected by the FBI.

In 2006, Wylie had 38 certified officers for a ratio of 1.15 officers per 1,000 population. With a 30% increase in both total calls for service and total crimes reported, WPD had 633 calls for service per officer and 83 crimes reported per officer. As outlined in its strategic plan, WPD suggested staffing standards are 1.4 – 1.6 officers to 1,000 population, 300-500 calls for service per officer, and 40-60 crimes reported per officer.
