Flock's claim of about 1 million investigations supported and 20% of cleared cases in 2025

set aside as

EXCLUDED BY ATTRIBUTION

the researcher's note

Flock's claim of about 1 million investigations supported and 20% of cleared cases in 2025. Cases and investigations are not people, and the clearance share is the vendor's own NIBRS-weighted extrapolation of its customers' estimates. The 10,000 missing persons is admitted because it counts people, with the self-report caveat printed in the entry.
