Note on today’s report: Some of the incidents listed are not recent. This can happen for a couple of reasons: Delays in agency reporting โ sometimes officials don’t file reports right away, or agencies release batches of reports weeks later. Delays in public complaints โ people may not notice or decide to contact police until some time after an incident. Please contact the responsible law-enforcement agency or your local elected officials if you have concerns about their delay in releasing information.
