Providence Police Department Arrests and Citations- Past 180 Days

Adults arrested or issued citations by the Providence Police Department during the past 60 days. Arrests are custodial actions where an individual is detained and transported to the City of Providence Public Safety Complex. Citations are non-custodial actions issued at the scene of a violation. Once issued a citation, an individual is allowed to leave unless there are additional charges that require being taken into custody. This data set lists all state and municipal statute violations issued by the Providence Police. A single individual can be charged with multiple violations for a single incident. Multiple persons can also be charged in a single incident. The case number provided in the data set can be used to identify the incident and to look up the case information in the Providence Police Department - Case Log. Individuals in the arrest data who have not been charged with a Rhode Island statute or Providence municipal violation are not included in the dataset. Once charges are applied the data will be released.
