That's not correct. There were 15% more homicides in 2024 than in 2015 but the homicide rate went down since the peak of the 2020 crime wave.

Murder rate

a quantity, amount, or degree of something measured per unit of something else

- Merriam-Webster (emphasis mine)

Both police killings and murders are increasing, but police murders are increasing faster year over year than homicides are increasing.

Its not year on year, all datapoints are the rate against 2015's rate.
