National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) 

In January of 2022, the Tempe Police Department completed a major transition in how crimes data is reported, moving from the FBI Uniform Crime Report program to the enhanced National-Incident Based Reporting System, or NIBRS. NIBRS is now the required reporting method for the FBI. The Uniform Crime Report (UCR) Program's traditional Summary Reporting System (SRS) was limited in comparison to NIBRS, which offers more detailed data collection that provides a deeper understanding of crime and its circumstances. 

NIBRS captures a wider range of details on crime incidents and can reflect separate offenses occurring during the same event, including information on victims, known offenders, relationships between victims and offenders, arrestees, and property involved in the crimes.  With greater specificity in reporting offenses, NIBRS provides for more accurate and detailed crime-related information, and helps give context to specific crime issues while affording greater analytic capability of crime.  Below is the link to Tempe-specific NIBRS reports. Use the drop-down filters to select Tempe PD, the year, and the type of report.
