Hello,

Thanks! I'm just wondering where you got that information? According to your UCR for 2015, total aggravated assaults are 1,714. The report doesn't include "homicides," but rather murders - what is included in homicide data? Do you know what would cause the discrepancy?

Thanks,
Vanessa

From:

The numbers were provided by the Homicide Unit and our Persons Unit.

Do you know why FDLE would have a different number?
