Some cities in Minnesota classify snowmobiles as motor vehicles. That's if they can even get them. Many police agencies refuse to release these figures.
Most police departments report crime statistics to state and federal criminal justice agencies.
California's 58 sheriffs' departments and 380 police departments report their numbers on a monthly basis to the state's Justice Department. The state, in turn, reports its numbers to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which releases crime information in its Uniform Crime Reports or UCRs. But both state and national numbers are too broad for a consumer to determine how safe an individual neighborhood is. The warehouses report crime all the time, so per capita, Vernon looks really bad on the crime scene. Some California police agencies post crime statistics online.
