    Overview

    Seminar Overview

    Who should attend:

    Executives needing a practical understanding of NIBRS. Note: some of the material in this course overlaps with our Writing Reports NIBRS Style course.  If you have taken that course, we don’t recommend taking this one as well.  This is strictly designed for administrative/executive personnel.

     

    Reading a NIBRS report is one thing; articulating the numbers to those who ask about them is something entirely different. We teach you what you need to know to understand, explain, review, and report your crime statistics correctly. Learn the common mistakes in crime reporting that lead to questioned crime stats. Ensure your agency stays out of the headlines and free of questionable crime reporting.

    Topics include:

    • Is your agency recording and reporting crime correctly?
    • The difference between NIBRS definitions and state statutes.
    • Are your officers reporting multiple offense cases correctly?
    • Validating and presenting NIBRS stats.
    • How are crimes counted?
    • How are cases cleared?
    • Arrests vs. clearances.
    • When can you really exceptionally clear a case?
    • Learn the most common causes of erroneous stats.
