The State College Police Department finally released a statistical summary of the crime reported last weekend during State Patty’s Day. From combined data with the State College and Penn State police, “total cases” is down 16.8 percent, while “total crime” is down just 8.2 percent compared to 2016.

Despite only a slight drop this year (likely because of the bad weather, if we had to guess), the numbers are nowhere close to those of State Patty’s Day in its prime, from 2011 to 2012 and even 2013.

“I think initially when [State Patty’s Day] started there was a tremendous spike and then it has come down some,” State College Police Officer Fishel said. “It’s the event that takes place on a weekend it normally wouldn’t take place, it taxes our services. Had we not been prepared, I don’t think we would’ve had enough officers working…for the number of calls.”

Though it’s clear State Patty’s Day has declined since its hay day, crime reported has increased over the past two years compared to 2014 and 2015, when the Penn State and State College communities tried their best to oust the holiday by paying bars to close. Even with rainy weather and a ban on fraternity socials, it’s clear Penn Staters will find a way to party — in honor of State Patrick, of course.

Here’s a visual summary of the statistics presented by the police in a press release. All data is from noon Friday, February 24 to noon Sunday, February 26.
