There are many reasons why the figures reported for an agency may not exactly match what is reported in the RTCI. Some of those reasons include: some incidents may be reclassified as a different offense category after it is published in their Records Management System, an agency may report incorrectly aggregated data on their website, or a few agencies may not report rape data publicly which would impact that agencies violent crime totals. The purpose of the RTCI is to accurately portray trends, so minor inconsistencies between sources is an inevitable downside to working with imperfect data.
