T D.2: NIBRS
Expand the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) data fields for distribution to law enforcement and others throughout
the United States.
Other Information:
The System of Services Information Sharing Initiative requires participants to utilize an “enhanced NIBRS” data set for the
data input to support the information sharing process. This enhanced data set combines the current 53 NIBRS crime descriptors
with the specific personal and event identifiers which form the core of most police department incident reports. Many states
collect more information than the current 53 NIBRS data elements describing incidents for their own in-house purposes. To
realize the full potential of the information sharing capabilities of NIBRS data, additional identifying data (e.g., victim,
offender, and suspect) must be included, which will provide law enforcement additional investigative leads. This information
will serve as a valuable tool in criminal and national security matters. Priority Actions: Closely coordinate with state,
local, and federal NIBRS stakeholders in the development of an implementation plan.
