The police crime statistics are based on the police crime statistics (PKS) published by the State Criminal Police Office of North Rhine-Westphalia. The figures show the crimes that have been reported to the police (so-called "bright field"). Crimes from the "dark field" are not taken into account.
This page is updated on an ongoing basis. When new figures are published, they will be added here. You will find the statistics in the right-hand margin, starting with the most recent.
