Colorado
Crimes Against Property
The offender’s intent is to obtain money, property, or some other benefit, e.g. robbery, bribery, burglary. One offense is counted for each distinct OPERATION (each incident/case) except motor vehicle theft, where one offense is counted for each vehicle stolen.
Data is current through the last full month, plus a 30-day data-entry lag. For example, April data is available beginning June 1. For this reason, the current year may not contain a full 12 months of data, and the counts should not be compared to previous years.
Robbery
