Axios Des Moines: The Des Moines Police Department failed to report its 2021 crime data to the FBI, according to information provided to Axios from a partnership with the Marshall Project. The DMPD is a part of the 40% of law enforcement agencies nationwide, including departments in New York City and Los Angeles, that did not submit any data in 2021. It’s voluntary for police departments to report the information. The Des Moines department transitioned to a new record management system and was unable to provide the numbers before the FBI’s deadline to report crimes from 2021, said Sgt. Paul Parizek, spokesperson for DMPD.
