The Northern Territory crime statistics are prepared by the Department of the Attorney-General and Justice using data recorded by the Northern Territory Police. The statistics on this site are updated on a monthly basis. Earlier quarterly crime statistics are available on the Department of the Attorney-General and Justice website.
NT Crime Statistics are released on the third Friday of each month at 10:30am.
Note:
Issues have been identified in the February 2024 crime statistics, leading to concern that the statistics do not reflect the level of Police service demand in some areas. We are actively investigating these issues.
