Source: Minneapolis Police Department open data, counted by the date the offense occurred, through September 26, 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 March 25-31, 2024," https://glassonthestreet.com/weekly/2024-03-25, accessed October 9, 2026.
