Source: Minneapolis Police Department open data, counted by the date the offense occurred, through October 13, 2026. Weeks run Monday to Sunday. The comparison week a year earlier is 52 weeks back, so weekdays line up. Offenses are counted as MPD counts them and exclude shots-fired calls, gunshot wound victims and subset rows. Reported crimes only. See the methodology. Cite as: Glass on the Street, "Minneapolis crime, week of February 10-16, 2020," https://glassonthestreet.com/weekly/2020-02-10, accessed October 16, 2026.
