See How Crime In Linden Hills Compares To Last Year

MINNEAPOLIS — There have been 16 reported thefts in the Linden Hills neighborhood since Jan. 1, up from 12 at this time in 2021. Meanwhile, there have been two reported breaking and entering offenses so far in 2022, down from five last year.

Residents can view these are other in-depth crime statistics using the city's newly updated online crime dashboard.

"The new dashboard connects to Minneapolis Police Department data better than before, providing more comprehensive results that align with national standards," the city said in a news release.

The dashboard uses the FBI’s National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), which contains more categories than the city’s previous dashboard.

Residents can view data based on precinct, ward and neighborhood as well as during certain time periods, such as seven-day, 28-day, 12-week, 13-month and four-year.

However, the dashboard only accesses crime data back to Jan. 1, 2019, because data obtained through the old dashboard may not align with the data now available.
