Clearance Rate: The ratio of reported cases to cleared cases. A “cleared” case is one where investigators have determined who is responsible for the crime and the person has either been arrested or arrest is not possible because the suspect is deceased, incarcerated elsewhere etc.. It should be noted that should a crime occur in one month or year and the arrest is made in a subsequent month or year, the month or year of arrest is the month or year of clearance according to FBI clearance guidelines. Issue Rate: The ratio of cleared cases to cases where warrants (charges) are issued by the Circuit Attorney’s Office. Homicide Division
