Florida submits the least crime data to the FBI’s national database

Two years after the FBI switched how it collects national crime data, law enforcement agencies in most states have caught up with the transition, with a few exceptions. Florida has the biggest data gap, with less than 8% of the state’s law enforcement agencies represented in the 2022 national crime data, and Pennsylvania had less than 10%.




Source: Agency participation data compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on Feb. 6, 2023, which was the deadline for local agencies to submit crime data for the Q4 2022 quarterly report. Local agencies had until April 3, 2023 to submit data for the FBI's 2022 national crime report, so the final participation status may change.
