Crime Data#

Law enforcement agencies report crime data to state and federal agencies. For many years, Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Summary was the primary method of providing this information. This system organizes data into Part I and Part II crimes and only captures the most serious charge in an incident (i.e. robbery + homicide is recorded as a homicide). 

In an effort to "provide more useful statistics to promote constructive discussion, measured planning, and informed policing," the FBI is retiring the UCR Summary system and moved to UCR National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). NIBRS captures more detail and provides a comprehensive picture (i.e. robbery + homicide is recorded as robbery + homicide). 

FCPS has reported both standards to state and federal agencies for years. Our website has featured UCR Summary data. As we continue to provide more transparent, accessible data to the community, this page will feature NIBRS data going forward.
