The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has the responsibility to collect activity information from the law enforcement agencies throughout the State of Minnesota. Crime data and information submitted by municipal and county law en- forcement agencies is collected on a daily and semi -daily basis under the Minnesota Criminal Justice Reporting System program. The data is arranged in two main classifications, Part I crimes and Part II crimes. Part I Offenses reflect information on eight "serious" crime classifi- cations, 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 ve- hicle theft, and arson. Part II crimes are forgery /counterfeiting, fraud, embezzlement, stolen property, other assaults, vandalism, weapons, prostitution, other sex offenses, narcotics, gam- bling, family /children, DUI, liquor laws, disorderly conduct and other offenses.
