Cedar Rapids Mismatch in Crime Stats and NIBRS Issues
Cedar Rapids officials note discrepancies between local crime data and the FBI NIBRS format. Police Chief Mike Klappholz cites a 2 percent drop in index crimes for the year, while four murders are logged locally versus two in the FBI report. The city opened a new station in 1997 but software bugs delayed NIBRS use until 1999.

FBI reports 7 percent overall drop in 99 arsons
The FBI notes a 7 percent nationwide decrease in arson incidents with crime down across city sizes and suburbs. Attorney General Janet Reno praises enduring federal state and local partnerships that have barred gun access to 500 000 prohibited persons and funded over 100 000 community police and prosecutors. Experts urge caution about further declines especially in large urban areas.
