The Year-to-Date comparison reports show the number of offenses, clearances, stolen and recovered property for the current year-to-date compared with the same period in the previous year in various reports. This allows an agency to determine if there is a marked increase or decrease in crime or if there was an issue in reporting crime.

The Crime Trend Analysis reports show the number of offenses on a monthly basis for the selected time period. This analysis is useful to help forecast the volume of crime or analyze crime patterns.

The Crime Distribution reports show the number of the selected offense(s) distributed by categories that include age, gender, race, etc. These reports give insights into the demographics of crime.

The Crime Density report shows the geographic distribution of crime by county. This report shows hotspots areas that may need extra resources.

The Distribution Breakdown report is similar to the Crime Distribution report and displays two demographic characteristics instead of one. The report can drill down into any one characteristic and display the breakdown of a second characteristic.

The Anomaly Reports go a step beyond the FBI’s validation rules and display incidents that may need additional attention to verify that the incident correctly reflects the details of the crime. These incidents may be correct as they are, but contain an unusual combination of data elements which may generate an FBI request for incident verification or correction.
