As of January 1, 2021, the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) became the national crime data collection program.

NIBRS was implemented to improve the overall quality of crime data collected by law enforcement, by capturing details on each single crime incident, as well as on separate offenses within the same incident. The historic Summary Reporting System (SRS) data collection, which collects more limited information than the more robust NIBRS, was phased out to make Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) a NIBRS-only data collection.

Coming soon, look for a new dataset based on NIBRS, which will provide more complete and comprehensive data for law enforcement, researchers, and the public.

Used to document all city data assets, regardless of whether the dataset is published to the open public data portal. Refer to the section in the Data Coordinator Guidebook, “Metadata Standard – Required Fields” table for help completing this form.
