A year is shown only when the agency reported all 12 months and the months look complete: we leave out years with several empty months, most offenses in one month or one half of the year, or a total far below the usual level for that agency. Agency type: City. County: DeKalb. FBI agency identifier (ORI): IL0190800.

Read with care. Counts are offenses reported to this agency. Places with many visitors, shoppers or commuters can show high rates because rates use resident population only. Neighboring areas may be covered by a county sheriff or state police.
