About the Indicator: 2003 narcotic arrests exclude the St. Paul Police Department.

The decrease in narcotic arrests from 2000 to 2001 is due to a change in the procedures for counting arrests. Prior to 2001, the BCA tallied all narcotic charges for each individual. The BCA's reporting system was modified to reflect the correct Uniform Crime Reporting procedures which require that only the most serious charge be counted for each individual arrested.
