- Seattle Police Department Annual Reports include a variety of statistics, including cause of arrests, occupations, nativity, and age of persons arrested. Police Court reports, where they exist, are included in this series. Police Telephone and Telegraph System reports are included in some years, as are reports of the Woman's Protective Division. The 1904 report of the Humane Officer is included in this series as well. By 1945, the reports include geographical statistics on crime rates and traffic division statistics by precinct; in 1955 the reports begin to include this information by census tract. Description of the Rehabilitation Camp, later called the Police Department Rehabilitation Project, begins in 1948 and ends in 1961 when the project ended. From the mid-1950s to 1970, the reports consist almost entirely of statistics with little narrative. Only two reports exist for the 1970s. Police Pension reports for 1964 and 1965 are included in this series.
