airport station ≠ city ≠ county ≠ police jurisdiction. a pooled survey estimate is not a current headcount. unavailable information stays unavailable.
updates & corrections
each public correction will identify the affected item, the previous and corrected wording or value, the source, and the correction date. source changes require editorial review before replacement.
contact & corrections ↗: include the page, wording or figure, and a supporting source. the contact page provides the approved delivery route.
what’s still unresolved
mpd’s exact statistical boundary vintage, detailed category counting rules, and case-to-victim equivalence remain unresolved. archival story verification and image permissions, local interviews, and reviewed event listings are future editorial work.
