FBI Crime Report Ouy Today

What you need is a list of each time these departments change past reporting, and by how much. Then you could compare across administrations to see if they do it more or less or the same for certain political parties.

I'm surprised at this point no one has reported on that.
That’s somewhat addressed in the RCI article.

“I have checked the data on total violent crime from 2004 to 2022,” Carl Moody, a professor at the College of William & Mary who specializes in studying crime, told RealClearInvestigations. “There were no revisions from 2004 to 2015, and from 2016 to 2020, there were small changes of less than one percentage point. The huge changes in 2021 and 2022, especially without an explanation, make it difficult to trust the FBI data.”
