Investigator(s): United States Department of Justice. Federal Bureau of Investigation The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) series is a component part of the Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR), a nationwide view of crime administered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), based on the submission of crime information by participating law enforcement agencies. The NIBRS was implemented to meet the new guidelines formulated for the UCR to provide new ways of looking at crime for the 21st century. NIBRS is an expanded and enhanced UCR Program, designed to capture incident-level data and data focused on various aspects of a crime incident. The NIBRS was aimed at offering law enforcement and the academic community more comprehensive data than ever before available for management, training, planning, research, and other uses. NIBRS collects data on each single incident and arrest within 22 offense categories made up of 46 specific crimes called Group A offenses. In addition, there are 11 Group B offense categories for which only arrest data are reported. NIBRS data on different aspects of crime incidents such as offenses, victims, offenders, arrestees, etc., can be examined as different units of analysis. The data are archived at ICPSR as 13 separate data files, which may be merged by using linkage variables. NACJD has prepared a resource guide on NIBRS.

Effective March 7, 2024, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) implemented a new Records Management System aligning with the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) requirements. This switch, part of a nationwide mandate, enhances the granularity and specificity of crime data. You can learn more about NIBRS on the FBI's website here: https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/more-fbi-services-and-information/ucr/nibrs NIBRS is more comprehensive than the previous Summary Reporting System (SRS) used in the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program. Unlike SRS, which grouped crimes into general categories, NIBRS collects detailed information for each incident, including multiple offenses, offenders, and victims when applicable. This detail-rich format may give the impression of increased crime levels due to its broader capture of criminal activity, but it actually provides a more accurate and nuanced view of crime in our community. This change sets a new baseline for crime reporting, reflecting incidents in the City of Los Angeles starting from March 7, 2024. With NIBRS, each criminal incident may reflect multiple offenses, resulting in more robust data than before. This may change the appearance of crime frequency, as multiple offenses per incident are reported individually.

The King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) is providing offense report data captured in it's Records Management System (RMS) from 2020 to present. KCSO replaced its RMS in late 2018 and at the same time transitioned to the FBI’s National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). The NIBRS standardization of crime classifications allows for comparison over time and between agencies. For official KCSO NIBRS reporting, please visit the WASPC Crime in Washington Report: https://www.waspc.org/cjis-statistics---reports. Disclaimer: Only finalized (supervisor approved) reports are released. Those in draft, awaiting supervisor approval, or completed after the daily update of data, will not appear until the subsequent day(s). Data updates once every twenty-four hours. Records and classification changes will occur as a report makes its way through the approval and investigative process, thus reports might appear in the data set one day, but be removed the next day if there is a change in the approval status. This mirrors the fluidity of an investigation. Once a report is re-approved, it will show back up in the data set. Other than approval status, the report case status is factored into what can be released in the daily data set. As soon as a report case status matches the criteria for release, it will be included in the data set. For a list of offenses that are included in the data set, please see the attached pdf.
