While I understand the anti-police sentiment, convictions rate is not really a measure of the quality of police arrests.

A better measure of the quality of the arrests is whether prosecutors are charging the case (assuming the prosecution doesn’t change, obviously).

Arrests that are not justified will have their prosecution declined, and that statistic is also available in the linked sheet.
