Background The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has used the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) system to collect crime data since it was created in 1929. In 1989, the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) was developed to create a more accurate method of collecting crime data about victims, offenders, property, and arrests. In January 2021, NIBRS became the FBl's national standard for law enforcement crime data reporting in the United States. Because California has several crime classifications that are not federally recognized, the California Department of Justice (CA DOJ) created the CIBRS for California agencies. The Automated Regional Justice Information System (ARJIS) transmits crime data to the CA DOJ for local law enforcement agencies in San Diego County. ARJIS began transmitting CIBRS data to the CA DOJ in 2021 while simultaneously collecting UCR data for statistical comparison. As of December 31, 2023, ARJIS will no longer collect UCR data, and the San Diego Association of Governments (SAN DAG) will only release annual and mid-year crime rate reports using CIBRS data. As a result, the Carlsbad Police Department will only collect and report data using the CIBRS crime classifications. Discussion The benefits of collecting CIBRS data include: • Collecting more accurate data • Arrests and clearances are linked to specific incidents • Addition of crimes against society • Documents animal cruelty, extortion, and identity theft offenses Police Department 2560 Orion Way I Carlsbad, CA 92010 I 442-339-2100 t Council Memo -California Incident-Based Reporting System (Districts -All) September 28, 2023 Page 2 • Gives context to crimes, including the relationship between victims and offenders, types and quantities of drugs involved, and types of property that were damaged or stolen • Provides greater analytical flexibility Key Differences CIBRS 22 crime classifications and 58 offenses reported : 8 crime classifications reported Up to 10 offenses per incident are reported i Employs a hierarchy rule and only reports the I highest offense Date of offense is reported (statistics are counted i Date of report taken is reported (statistics are I in the month of the incident); crime rates will ' counted in the month the report was taken and change as crimes are reported uploaded); crime rates are static Sprees counted as one incident I One crime report for each victim in a spree Co-conspirators: Offenders must admit to Co-conspirators: All offenders were assumed to knowingly participate in each event . have knowledge of each event -- Auto theft: Commercial victims are not counted; Auto theft: All victims of auto theft are included embezzled vehicles from commercial victims are counted as fraud or embezzlement.

Impact on Crime Statistics • The crime index report using CIBRS data will look much different than what was previously reported using UCR. • Possible increases in crime rates due, in part, to the elimination of the hierarchy rule and the allowance of reporting up to 10 offenses in a single incident. • Possible decreases in crime rates due, in part, to the change in definition of victims for certain crimes (i.e. auto theft) or separation of crime classification (i.e. sex offenses). • Monthly crime statistics are expected to be more accurate because they are reported based on the incident date, as compared to the report date. Council Memo -California Incident-Based Reporting System (Districts -All) September 28, 2023 Page 3 Next Steps The Police Department will produce crime index comparisons using CIBRS. There is minimal impact on daily police operations. Attachment: A.
