1.2 Preliminary Semiannual Uniform Crime Report, January–June, 2006, Set for
Release
In the past, the FBI has sent law enforcement agencies advance hard copies of the Preliminary
Semiannual Uniform Crime Report, January–June, 2006, so that agencies would have the information before the data were released to the public. Because this document will no longer be published in hard copy, the FBI had to devise an alternate way for agencies to have advance access to the information. Consequently, the FBI has constructed a beta site for the Preliminary Semiannual
Uniform Crime Report, January–June, 2006, to which agencies will have access. The Web site, username, and password are case sensitive.
Advance Viewing Date: Beginning Wednesday, December 13, 2006
Web site: http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/prelim06/
Username: UCRcontr
Password: Prelim06
Public Release Date: Monday, December 18, 2006
State UCR Program managers are asked to make all law enforcement agencies in their state—especially Most-in-Population agencies—aware of this information. All agencies are reminded that these data are embargoed until they are released to the public. Until then, they are for internal use only.

Please note that whether the State Program Bulletin is received electronically or in hard copy, it is the responsibility of the state UCR Program manager to disseminate the information as appropriate to their staff and local agencies.
