In 2024, officers with the Glen Ellyn Police Department responded to 619 total offenses, as documented by the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS).

That amounts to an average of two offenses handled daily over the course of the year.

Larceny stood out as the most frequent type of crime reported, with law enforcement documenting 119 incidents in 2024.

The NIBRS provides in-depth and comprehensive crime statistics. Unlike prior reporting methods, which recorded only the most serious crime per incident, the NIBRS accounts for all relevant crimes. For instance, if an incident included homicide, aggravated assault, and theft, only homicide was previously recorded.

Agencies at the local, state and federal levels make use of NIBRS data.
