NIBRS Conversion Services
Conversion Services
The FBI is phasing out the UCR summary reporting program. By 2021, NIBRS will be in place nationwide. Not to be taken lightly, converting to NIBRS requires planning, deep expertise in data management and NIBRS standards, RMS and field reporting technology and more.
How We Can Help
From needs assessment, planning and conversion to training and implementation, PRI can make NIBRS happen for your agency. In addition to comparing data and calculating how your numbers will change, we can manage the project and/or do the technical stuff too from databases and pick-lists to coordinating with your vendor. Our end-to-end services include project management, system assessments, implementation, testing, education/training, and certification. We can complete this time consuming work on your behalf.

NIBRS Segments
There are 58 numbered data elements and 11 structural data elements comprising the NIBRS data structure. They are grouped into 8 segment levels as follows:
• Level 1–Administrative Segment
• Level 2–Offense Segment
• Level 3–Property Segment
• Level 4–Victim Segment
• Level 5–Offender Segment
• Level 6–Arrestee Segment
• Level 7–Group B Arrest Report Segment
• Level 0–Zero Report Segment
NIBRS Coding
Each data element contains a variety of alphanumeric values representing the data that is reported to NIBRS for offenses and arrests.
Some of these values are mandatory and some are conditional based upon the type of offense being reported.
NIBRS offenses are grouped into “Type A” and “Type B” categories as well as offense types of persons, property and society related crimes.
