Last week the FBI released the 2009 version of “Crime in the United States.”

The report is a statistical compilation of offense and arrest data reported by law enforcement agencies throughout the United States that voluntarily participate in the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program.

The program collects information on crimes reported by law enforcement agencies for the violent crimes of murder and non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. It also collects information on the property crimes of burglary, larceny and theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson.

In 2009, there were 17,985 city, county, university and college, state, tribal, and federal agencies that participated in the reporting program. Those agencies represent 96.3 percent of the country’s population. Data from the program can be viewed on the FBI’s website, www.fbi.gov, under the “Uniform Crime Reports” heading.

Of the 2,752 people who died in the attacks on the World Trade Center, 343 firefighters and 60 police officers perished as they heroically attempted to save the lives of the innocent.
