Crime & safety
A forty-year series, with a 2025 seam
Burbank does not publish incident-level crime data. The longest official series is the California Department of Justice OpenJustice crimes-and-clearances file, filtered to Burbank PD. Daily arrest logs exist as PDFs and include names — we will only ever publish charge-level aggregates.
Data as of Oct 2, 2026 from CA DOJ OpenJustice. Recomputed from official source records; see methodology.

* 2025 and later sit on the NIBRS side of the reporting-system change. Do not treat a
one-year jump as a real-world spike without reading the
methodology note.
Clearance percentages are clearances / offenses from the same file.
What we do not have
- Incident points, calls for service, or a live crime map — file a CPRA request with BPD. We will not scrape CommunityCrimeMap.
- A beat-level choropleth of incidents. The city GIS police-beat layer is ready (11 beats); the incidents are not.
- Named arrestees. Daily logs are archived for aggregation only.
