The FBI released its 2010 Uniform Crime Report Monday.

The north and northwest suburbs served by the Patch sites in Cook and Lake counties are listed below in charts for violent crimes and property crimes.

The data reflect communities that reported crime statistics for all 12 months of 2010. Due to a change in state reporting methods, Illinois statistics from 2010 cannot be compared to 2009 statistics, according to the FBI.

Glenview, Niles, Wilmette and Glencoe were not included in the FBI's release of data. Sgt. Robert Tornabene of the Niles Police Department said the department reports statistics to the State of Illinois, which is mandatory, but that reporting to the FBI is voluntary.

Niles Police Chief Dean Strzelecki said it was his understanding the state provides the figures to the FBI anyway, and that reporting to the FBI would be a duplication of effort. The department provided this link to the Illinois State Police statistics.
