The FBI Crime Index <br />includes the number of both violent crimes and property crimes per 100,000 population.

The FBI has not released 2015 data; according to their staff, the <br />expected release date is September 26, 2016. Moreover, it is important to emphasize that any <br />shooting related to Part I offenses, as reported to the FBI, are captured in the FBI Crime Index. <br />Below is the FBI Crime Index for 2010 to 2014: <br />FBI Crime Index - Santa Ana <br />Data for Year 2015 is unavailable.
