Data are compiled on index crimes in Colorado and on property stolen and recovered, arson, domestic violence, arrests, law enforcement officers assaulted, and homicide.

These statistics indicate that an index crime is committed in Colorado every 3 minutes and that a property crime is committed every 3.3 minutes. Crime trends are evaluated for the 1985-1994 period, and crime statistics are tabulated by offense type and jurisdiction. Tables and figures
