Source: Minneapolis Police Department open data, counted by the date the offense occurred, through September 30, 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.
