Samuel,
We might be able to start with the year 2010 and go through 2016. The totals for 2017 will not be ready for a couple of months.

Sam,
I think I have been able to come up with some information for you. The big problem is OCPD has not recorded information in the manner you have requested. Also, the older recorded information was completed in different formats which causes a number of problems. Because of the change in the way the records were kept over time, some of the information is available some is not. Some of the coding utilized in 2000 is no longer utilized today. I will present you with the information we have been able to retrieve. I would like to draw you attention to the information under category "A". if you see an occurrence date and then see a number of ###, this means it is the same case just multiple allegations. If you expand each category then you should be able to obtain the information or as close as we can provide the information requested.
Bo
