Webp 23edited

Parkston law enforcement officers grappled with one crime against persons in 2020, according to the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS).

Crime against persons include simple assaults, aggravated assaults, intimidations, kidnappings and abductions, fondling offences and rapes.

Officers in Parkston were involved in two incidents throughout the year.

The NIBRS was designed to provide detail and context around crime stats. Under the previous system, only the most serious crime related to an incident would be logged. If an incident involved a homicide as well as aggravated assault and theft, only a homicide would be recorded in criminal statistics.

It is used by law enforcement at all levels, from local to federal.
