Crime Log Disposition Definitions
The following is an explanation of the terminology used to complete the Disposition section of the UPD Crime Log:
Active
The case is currently being investigated by UPD.
Unfounded
The case is determined through investigation to be false or baseless. No offense occurred nor was attempted.
Closed
The case has been either solved, cleared by arrest, referred to other authorities, or has ran out of leads or developments in the case. (If new leads or developments in a case arise, the case will be re-opened for further investigation.)
