Examines bite reporting, public education and inconsistent local data. Seven findings and six recommendations call for centralized incident records, public reporting and educational materials. Different datasets cover different periods and incident definitions; they are not reconciled into a verified total. Referenced Exhibits A, B and C are not identifiable as appended exhibits in the supplied annual. Located on physical PDF pages 44–56 of the unchanged 385-page annual; all report downloads open that same complete original. No current-cycle final agency response was supplied or verified; this gap does not establish nonresponse.
