National Incident-Based Reporting System

A video is available about the FBI National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). NIBRS was implemented to improve the overall quality of crime data collected by law enforcement, and captures details on each single crime incident - as well as on separate offenses within the same incident - including information on victims, known offenders, relationships between victims and offenders, arrestees and property involved in the crimes. The International Association of Chiefs of Police, Majors Cities Chiefs Association, National Sheriffs Association and the Major County Sheriff' Association, along with the CJIS Division Advisory Policy Board, have joined with the FBI to establish the goal of transitioning to a NIBRS-only crime statistics collection system.
