The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has the responsibility to collect activity in- formation from the law enforcement agencies throughout the State of Minnesota. Crime data and information submitted by municipal and county law enforcement agencies is collected on a daily and semi -daily basis under the Minnesota CriminalJustice Reporting System program. The data is arranged in two main classifications, Part I crimes and Part II crimes. Part I Of- fenses reflect information on eight "serious" crime classifications, and it is generally referred to as the "Crime Index" measurement. Part II Offenses are represented by twenty "less serious" crime classifications. The eight crimes represented in the Part I Offenses include murder, rape, aggravated assault, robbery, burglary, larceny, motor vehicle theft, and arson. Part II crimes are forgery /counterfeiting, fraud, embezzlement, stolen property, other assaults, vandalism, weap- ons, prostitution, other sex offenses, narcotics, gambling, family /children, DUI, liquor laws, dis- orderly conduct and other offenses. There is agency specific 2009 data available now, but the entire 2009 report is not available until later this year.
