>“I’d be surprised if they didn’t make 60 percent,” said Bill Brooks, chief of the Norwood, Mass., police and a member of the International Association of Chiefs of Police board of directors. He said a key problem is that many agencies that have no force incidents are failing to input “zero reports” each month, so the agency is counted as not participating. The IACP has long supported the data collection, and low participation numbers “make us look like we’re hiding something, when in reality I don’t think that’s the case.” Doesn't seem like there's anything malicious here. Looks like a misunderstanding. The FBI needs 60% participation in order to publish their numbers and they're currently at 57%. I see no reason that they won't easily exceed that threshold.
