During an internal review of practices and data recordkeeping at the Paterson Police Department, it was discovered that certain complaints of violations of the New Jersey theft statute (N.J.S.A. 2C:20-3) were being incorrectly classified in the records management system as non-theft crimes when summary reports, like those for CompStat, were run. This error in classifying, and thus counting, certain theft crimes in summary reports had occurred since 2021 when a new records management system was adopted by the PPD. The count has been corrected in the report for the week ending December 3, 2023 and future reports going forward.
