• Variations in population coverage and reporting practices may cause differences in reporting from year to year. • Rates are the number of reported offenses per 100,000 population. • Sources: FBI Uniform Crime Reports (2012-2019), FBI Crime Data Explorer (2020-2022). • Beginning in 2020, the FBI transitioned to reporting only National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) data. Prior to 2020, data was reported using the Summary Reporting System (SRS). SRS collected aggregated data using the Hierarchy Rule, which stated that that only the one most serious offense within a criminal incident was counted. • Des Moines UCR statistics were not available from the FBI Uniform Crime Reports as of 10/23/23.
