#1
In 2022 - Of the 18,884 state, county, city, university and college, and tribal agencies eligible to participate in the UCR Program, 15,724 agencies submitted data in 2022. Which is only 83.2% reporting.

Then in 2024
Another FBI data link indicates 72+/-% of the law enforcement groups were participating in the collection. Or only 13,596 of 18,884 reporting.

It seems either certain Metro's want to hide their crime and demographic crime data. Or, it could be those police agencies were hit hard by "Defund the Police" also. ☺

#5 Selling fentanyl is not considered homicide even though quite often the victim dies. In fact, they're dying at a rate of 100,000 plus per year.

But then, it might be interesting to see some of the stats for lesser crimes. Especially in California, the number for burglaries and shoplifting would be interesting although, since Prop 47, most incidents of shoplifting don't even get reported.
