CRIMINAL STATISTICS
Operative Text
The Police Department shall maintain, subject to the retention policy, statistics pertaining to the number of citations/criminal complaints for crimes committed at rental dwellings, and the total number of citations/criminal complaints issued by the Police Department. The Chief of Police shall update the City Council on an annual basis regarding the number of citations/criminal complaints for crimes committed at rental dwellings versus the total number of citations/criminal complaints issued by the Police Department during the same time period. (Ord. 2017-07, passed 1-2-2018)
Under Jordan Ch. 124 Residential Rental Licensing § 124.09, the city's Police Department is required to track and retain statistics comparing crime-related citations and criminal complaints at rental dwellings against the total volume of such citations and complaints citywide. The Chief of Police must report these figures to the City Council at least once a year. This provision is primarily an administrative and transparency measure, creating a data-reporting obligation rather than imposing direct duties on landlords or tenants.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Jordan Ch. 124 § 124.09 establishes a public record of crime activity at rental dwellings relative to the broader community, which city officials may reference when evaluating rental licensing compliance or policy. Operators of rental properties generally benefit from maintaining orderly, well-managed properties, as elevated incident rates at a specific address could draw regulatory attention under the broader licensing framework. Staying informed about annual Police Department reports to the City Council can help property managers understand how their properties fit into the city's overall rental housing picture.

Jordan Ch. 124 § 124.09 gives tenants indirect access to information about crime patterns at rental dwellings through the annual statistics the Chief of Police presents to the City Council. These reports are typically public records, and tenants interested in the safety profile of their rental community may be able to review them through the city clerk or police department. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand how this data intersects with other protections available under Jordan's residential rental licensing framework.
