This page provides data for the Carbon Neutrality performance measure.   The City of Tempe is committed to protecting the environment. Carbon emissions are a significant contributor to the pollution of our atmosphere. Sources of carbon emissions include the energy used in city buildings and facilities, and in the fuel used in transit, city vehicles, and employee commuting. This performance measure puts the City on a path to being a carbon-neutral city. The municipal carbon footprint includes buildings, streetlights, water treatment, electricity, and fuel usage for fleet, transit, solid waste, and employee commute.

This dataset comes from Annual Community Survey questions related to whether residents have been victims of a crime. Respondents are asked the following questions: a) "Have you been robbed, physically assaulted, or sexually assaulted in past 6 months?" or, b) "Has anyone in your household age 12 or older had a vehicle stolen, property or cash stolen, or has your household been burglarized in past 6 months?” Please note that the survey question has been restructured over time to better help determine priorities for the community. The survey is mailed to a random sample of households in the City of Tempe and has a 95% confidence level.

This dataset indicates whether the City of Tempe met its groundwater production capacity to meet the projected average for future annual daily demand.  Currently, Tempe has approximately 24 million gallons per day (MGD) of existing recovery well production capacity and an average annual daily demand of around 43 MGD.  Over the next five years, capital projects are planned to design and construct wells that will add or recapture about 10 MGD of additional capacity to the system.  Some of these projects include the addition of wellhead treatment to existing wells that were removed from service due to water quality concerns.  As this program develops, additional new wells will be sited and added to the overall system to bring us closer to reaching this goal.  The performance measure dashboard is available at 4.16 Groundwater Supply     Data Dictionary   Additional Information   Source: Arizona Department of Water Resources Contact:  Tara Ford Contact E-Mail: Tara_Ford@tempe.gov Data Source Type:  Excel Preparation Method:  The permitted capacity for each well site is added together. Publish Frequency:  Annual Publish Method: Manual

This dataset comes from the Annual Community Survey questions that relate to this performance measure, if they answered "Yes" to being a victim of crime in the past 6 months: “Were the police informed that your household had been burglarized, or did they find out about this incident in any way?” and "Were the police informed that you were robbed, physically assaulted, or sexually assaulted, or did they find out about this incident in any way?" Respondents are asked to provide their answer as “Yes” or “No” (without “don’t know” as an option). The survey is mailed to a random sample of households in the City of Tempe and has a 95% confidence level.

This dataset provides the percentage of cases cleared in a 4-year period out of the total number of offenses reported for the City of Tempe and cohort cities. Clearance rates are developed as part of the Department’s report for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) under the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) Program. NIBRS reporting includes Group A and Group B offenses. Group A offenses are categorized as Crimes Against Persons, Crime Against Property, or Crimes Against Society and are used for this dataset. The statistics in the UCR Program are based on reports the Tempe Police Department officially submits to the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS).  In the UCR Program, there are two ways that a law enforcement agency can report that an offense is cleared:  (1) cleared by arrest or solved for crime reporting purposes or  (2) cleared by exceptional means.   An offense is cleared by arrest, or solved for crime reporting purposes, when three specific conditions have been met. The three conditions are that at least one person has been: (1) arrested; (2) charged with the commission of the offense; and (3) turned over to the court for prosecution.   In some situations, an agency may be prevented from arresting and formally charging an offender due to factors outside of the agency’s control. In these cases, an offense can be cleared by exceptional means, if the following four conditions are met: (1) identified the offender; (2) gathered enough evidence to support an arrest, make a charge, and turn over the offender to the court for prosecution; (3) identified offender’s exact location so that suspect can immediately be taken into custody; and (4) encountered a circumstance outside law enforcement’s control that prohibits arresting, charging and prosecuting the offender.  The UCR clearance rate is one tool for helping the police to understand and assess success at investigating crimes. However, these rates should be interpreted with an understanding of the unique challenges faced with reporting and investigating crimes. Clearance rates for a given year may be greater than 100% because a clearance is reported for the year the clearance occurs, which may not be the same year that the crime occurred. Often, investigations may take months or years, resulting in cases being cleared years after the actual offense. Additionally, there may be delays in the reporting of crimes, which would push the clearance of the case out beyond the year it happened.  The performance measure dashboard is available at 1.12 Violent Cases Clearance Rate   Data Dictionary - (pending)   Additional Information  Source: Tempe Police Department (TPD) Versadex Records Management System (RMS) submitted to Arizona Department of Public Safety (AZ DPS) who submits data to the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) Contact:  Miranda O'Boyle Contact E-Mail: miranda_oboyle@tempe.gov Data Source Type:  Excel Preparation Method:  Drawn from the Monthly AZ DPS reports/online publications Publish Frequency:  Annually Publish Method: Manual
