Every call that requires a police response is logged and is given a reference
number, that is an incident number.
The incident which police attend may be where a crime has been committed and a
crime report is taken. That is given a crime number. If you call police to say
a burglary at your house it will have an incident number for the call and
police attendance and the result will include the crime number reporting the
burglary.

Well judging from the fact that my wife has reported two thefts at her work
place and while the local police have not attended, these have still been
recorded as a crime and a crime report number given to her, I would say that
tends to suggest that how they respond doesn't have a bearing on how it is
classified.
