Table 2-3 represents the percentage of Part 1 crimes cleared by the Morgan Hill Police Department in 2014, with comparisons against averages for the state of California and the nation. While the full definition of a cleared crime for UCR reporting purposes is somewhat complex, essentially, to clear a crime an arrest must be made, the subject must be charged criminally, and the subject must be delivered to the court for prosecution. A conviction is not required. TABLE 2-3: 2014 Reported Morgan Hill, California, and National Clearance Rates
