2022 UNIFORM CRIME REPORT 2

PREFACE

Minnesota law enforcement agencies provide information about criminal activity including incidents, stolen and recovered
property and arrests to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) to meet state and federal reporting
requirements. The BCA’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program compiles the data, which also includes information about law
enforcement officers killed and assaulted; firearms discharges by police officers; police pursuits and bias offenses. Limited
information is also available on law enforcement personnel.

MINNESOTA CRIME DATA EXPLORER

In years’ past, the compiled data was published in the Uniform Crime Report. However, the BCA launched a new public
database in 2021 called the Minnesota Crime Data Explorer, a modernized tool from which current crime data can be
obtained at any time. Links to the database appear throughout this report.

The Minnesota Crime Data Explorer also contains much more detailed information than had been available in the past
because of the concurrent transition by Minnesota law enforcement agencies to a much more detailed approach to crime
reporting using the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). While past reporting contained summary data about
the most serious offense associated with an incident, incident-based reporting includes many more details on all crimes
associated with an incident, as well as detailed data about victims and offenders and much more.

Together, the Minnesota Crime Data Explorer and the National Incident-Based Reporting System have led to greater
transparency and detail available about incidents that occur in Minnesota communities. This enables criminal justice
entities, researchers and the public to better understand, respond to and prevent incidents in their communities.

HISTORY OF CRIME REPORTING IN MINNESOTA

In 1935, the Minnesota Legislature mandated that the BCA make available to interested parties crime data received from
Minnesota law enforcement agencies. Uniform Crime Reports containing this information were compiled and provided
every two years as required by state statute until 1972, when the reports began to be produced annually.

With the introduction of the Minnesota Crime Data Explorer, the BCA meets this mandate in near real time. This document
serves as a summary of the 2022 information contained in the Minnesota Crime Data Explorer as of May 16, 2023.

The BCA wishes to thank the cooperating law enforcement agencies whose assistance make the Minnesota Crime
Data Explorer and this report possible. Each agency is responsible for the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of the
data the agency chooses to submit. Agency policy on what to submit may vary and those variances are reflected in the
data. In addition, because the types of crimes and level of detail about those crimes have changed in recent years any
comparisons with previous years should be viewed with caution.

2022 UNIFORM CRIME REPORT 5

OFFENSE OVERVIEW

The following is an overview of 2022 crime data including Group A offenses and Group B arrests.

The data includes Index Crime Volume and Change. This is data on eight major offenses (criminal homicide, rape, robbery,
aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, motor vehicle theft and arson) that the FBI uses to evaluate changes and trends.

An offense is considered cleared when at least one person involved in the commission of the offenses has been (1)
arrested, (2) charged, and (3) turned over to the court for prosecution.

An incident is cleared by exceptional means if some element beyond law enforcement control prevents filing of formal
charges against the offender. Agencies can clear an offense exceptionally if they can answer all of the following in the
affirmative.

• Has the investigation definitively established the identity of the offender?

• Is there enough information to support an arrest, charge, and turning over to the court for prosecution?
• Is the exact location of the offender known so that the subject could be taken into custody now?
• Is there some reason outside law enforcement control that precludes arresting, charging, and prosecuting the offender
(examples include suicide, deathbed confessions, double murder, etc.)?

Additional definitions and data are available in the Minnesota Crime Data Explorer.

CRIMES OF VIOLENCE – HOMICIDE

CRIMINAL HOMICIDE – MURDER

deaths as distinguished from deaths caused by negligence. “Attempts to kill” are reported as aggravated assaults and not
as murder. Justifiable or excusable homicides, suicides, accidental deaths, and deaths due to negligence are not tabulated
in the state criminal homicide total.

SUMMARY HOMICIDE INFORMATION

In 2022, there were 193 homicides reported for the state, 11 were ruled justifiable, yielding a total of 182 criminal
homicide victims. 145 criminal homicides were cleared by arrests or exceptional means in 2022, with 16 of these arrests
of a juvenile only. There were 58 negligent homicides reported for the year. The crime rate for criminal homicide in 2022

FIREARMS DISCHARGE AND USE OF FORCE

USE OF FORCE
The Minnesota Legislature in 2020 enacted Minn. Stat. 626.5534 which requires Minnesota law enforcement agencies
to provide information about use-of-force for the FBI Use-of Force Data Collection. Agencies had already begun providing
data on a voluntary basis in 2018 shortly after the FBI first established the data collection. The FBI created this data
collection to inform the national conversation about officer use-of-force and provide an aggregate view of reported
incidents and their circumstances, subjects and officers involved for better statistical analysis.

The FBI identified three types of use-of-force incidents about which agencies must report.

• When a fatality occurs to a person in connection to use-of-force by a law enforcement officer.

• When there is serious bodily injury to a person in connection with use-of-force by a law enforcement officer.
• In the absence of either death or serious bodily injury, when a firearm is discharged by a law enforcement officer at or
in a direction of a person.

The FBI requirements allow agencies to choose Pending or Unknown values for data elements when data is not known or
cannot be released due to an outside agency’s active investigation. Agencies are expected to amend the reports once the
data becomes available. In the figures below, Subject indicates the individual that the force was applied to.

SUMMARY USE OF FORCE INFORMATION

In 2022, there were 21 use of force incidents. 9 incidents resulted in the death of 9 individuals, 10 resulted in serious
bodily injury, and 2 had no injury.
