the incident occurred. The address number and street should both be entered.
When an address is mapped, it will return all possible results for the given address. If more than

submitted is an exact match, one result will be returned.
For example, 5401 S 19th St., Hometown, WA or 5401 South 19th St., Hometown, WA returns
one match, and that is the address that will be used. The system recognizes that “South” and “S”
are the same. If the “S” is omitted, it will return all matches for that address including 5401 N
19th St., Hometown, WA, if it exists and the geocoder will choose the first address.
Address suffixes such as Dr., Ave., and St. should be used with caution. If the suffix is incorrect,
the address will not be properly geocoded. If the suffix is omitted, MapPoint will pick the first
address on the list.

Data Quality Issues
The following are examples of some of the most common discrepancies found in the NIBRS incidents
submitted:
Burglary (offense code 220) and Larceny-Theft (offense codes 23 A-H) should not automatically
be reported in the same incident. For NIBRS purposes, Larceny-Theft is an element of Burglary.
However, if at the same time and place as a Burglary, items are stolen from outside the structure,
both offenses of Larceny and Burglary should be reported.
Too often, structures from where the property was stolen are used as property descriptions rather
than locations. Please be careful not to include as the Property Description (Data Element 15),
any of the following: (29) Structures-primarily structures single, (30) Structures other dwellings,
(31) Structures other commercial/business, (32) Structures industrial/manufacturing, (33)
Structures public/community.
Aggravated Assault (offense code 13A) should include either a weapon or injuries. If neither
exists in an incident, consider reporting a Simple Assault (offense code 13B).
Incest (offense code 36A) must have a relationship code indicating it was within the family.
Relationship codes such as FR (friend), AQ (acquaintance), ST (stranger), etc. are not valid for
this offense.
Incest (offense code 36A) and Statutory Rape (offense code 36B) should typically not have
victims under the age of eight (8) since children this young do not have the mental capacity for
consensual sex; offenses against children under age eight (8) should be considered as forcible.
Data Element 3, Incident Date/Hour of “00”, is used often in many incidents for NIBRS. This
indicates the offense occurred on or between midnight and 0059. If the incident hour is
unknown, the hour should be left blank or the hour should be estimated. NOTE: for offenses
with a law enforcement officer listed as the victim, a valid incident hour must be submitted;
blank (unknown) is not a valid submission for this type of victim.
For sex offenses, personal weapons (40) are often indicated in Data Element 13 (Type
Weapon/Force Involved): The definition infers that some force is used during the commission of
the offense. Personal weapons should not be submitted automatically for every forcible sex
offense, especially in cases where the victim gives in to the offender out of fear. Weapons
should be indicated when the victim sustains minor injuries, when the offender uses a weapon or
displays it in a threatening manner, or when the victim suffers obvious severe or aggravated
bodily injury involving apparent broken bones, loss of teeth, possible internal injury, severe
laceration, or loss of consciousness.
Shoplifting (offense code 23C) should not have an Individual as Data Element 25 (Type of
Victim) but most likely will have a Business as the Type of Victim.
89
Some NIBRS data indicate a broad range for Victim/Offender ages (Data Element 26). An
example is 01-99 as the victim/offender age reported in a particular incident and the NIBRS
program will indicate the middle of the range as 49. It is important to narrow the range of age,
for example, 25-35 (ten years or less).
Be aware when entering the age for the Relationship(s) of Victim to Offender(s) Data Element
(35); if entered incorrectly, the data may indicate a 10-year old as being a parent because the
relationship is being submitted with the relationship type in reverse.
The special category in Data Element 15 of Property Description (99) = (blank) is reserved for
use by the national UCR Program to compile statistics on certain designated types of property,
e.g., cellular phones, which are the object of theft fads. Do not use the Property Description 99.
Be aware that entering 99 in the Age of Victim Data Element (26) indicates the victim is 99
years old; if the age is unknown, enter 00.
When stereos are stolen from a motor vehicle, typically the Property Description should be
Vehicle Parts/Accessories (38).
Offenses of Credit Card/Automatic Teller Machine Fraud (26B) with Data Element 14 (Type
Property Loss/Etc.) as Stolen (7) should not have a Property Description of Credit/Debit Cards
(09). The credit/debit card may have been previously stolen; however, the property which was
purchased with the stolen credit card should be described.
Credit Card/Automatic Teller Machine Fraud is defined as “The unlawful use of a credit (or
debit) card or automatic teller machine for fraudulent purposes.” This offense does not apply to
the theft of a credit/debit card but rather its fraudulent use.
The offense of Robbery (120) should include individuals, not just businesses/financial
institution, etc., as the victim in Data Element 25 (Type of Victim): Include those persons toward
whom the robber(s) directed force or threat of force in perpetrating the offense. For example,
although the primary victim in a bank robbery would be the Financial Institution, the teller
toward whom the robber pointed a gun and made a demand should also be reported as a victim.

Frequently Asked Questions and Examples
The following pages list a few frequently asked questions.
General
I uploaded a NIBRS batch file yesterday and never received an error report. Why?
First, locate the file on your computer that was uploaded and confirm the naming format. It should
be your agency’s ORI followed by a period, then two-digit month and two-digit year; example:
WA0400000.1216. If it is named correctly and you still have not received an error report, call or
email the WASPC CJIS Department.
A woman came in and reported that over a two-year period, her father’s caregivers have taken
more than $50,000 out of his bank account for services not rendered. What date should we use?
Use the date that the offense was reported to your agency.
Murder
How do you classify an incident when there is a murder and the suspect commits suicide? In
addition, both the victim and the suspect are on medication for depression. The investigation
could not determine if the victim had asked the suspect to kill her. Is this a “Mercy Killing” or
“Other Circumstances?”
The classification is 09A Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter, one victim. The UCR Program
does not collect data on suicide victims. Since the investigation did not determine that the victim
had asked the subject to kill her, the agency should use “other circumstances” to best describe the
situation.
Drug Offenses
In drug seizure situations, determining drug weight and type presents a problem in terms of time
and logistics for most police officers. How precise do measurement and type determination have
to be?
Determining the nature and extent of the illicit drug problem and the law enforcement response is
one of NIBRS many objectives. However, the NIBRS policy requires the seizing officer/agency to
report only the “Suspected Drug Type” and “Estimated Quantity.”
Drugs purchased by undercover agents or drug task force members pose a problem for reporting
as separate incidents. What is the best method for reporting drug violations from undercover
drug operations?
Undercover operations involving drugs may be reported as a single incident as long as the activity
is deemed to constitute a single criminal transaction. In a “single” incident, all drugs purchased
during the investigation should be reported as seized and totaled with any other drugs seized in a
search or arrest situation for reporting purposes.
How do we classify an offense when for drugs being smuggled (contraband) into prison or jail? Is
this an “All Other” (90Z) or “Drugs/Narcotics” (35A)?
The Offense Lookup Table lists Smuggling/Contraband as a Group B/All Other Offenses (90Z)
with the caveat (Other offenses may have been committed, e.g., Drug/Narcotic Offenses). If the
smuggled drugs are “illegal” drugs, then two (2) offenses have actually occurred, 35A =
Drug/Narcotic Violations and 90Z = All Other Offenses (Smuggling/Contraband).
91
In this case, law enforcement should report the Group A offense 35A = Drugs/Narcotic Violations
as the offense in the offense segment of the incident. Although a Group A offense usually take
precedence over the Group B offense, it is up to the reporting agency’s discretion to determine
which was the most serious offense to be reported as the Arrest Offense Code.
The Group B offense 90Z = All Other Offenses (Smuggling/Contraband), most likely would not be
reported. In addition, contraband is not necessarily limited to drugs; agencies should also report
other forms of contraband, such as Pornography/Obscene Material (370), Drug Equipment
Violations (35B), Weapon Law Violations (520), Liquor Law Violations (90G), and cigarettes
(90Z).
Stolen Property
A car is reported to be stolen in Seattle and the offender (with the vehicle) is stopped in
unincorporated Pierce County. Does Pierce County SO report the vehicle as Recovered?
Only the agency that first reported property missing or stolen; regardless of the agency that
recovered it, the originating agency should report the property’s recovery. This does not apply to
offenses for which property can be recovered without being stolen within the same incident, i.e.,
Counterfeiting/Forgery and Stolen Property Offenses.
In this particular situation for Pierce County SO, Data Element 14 (Type Property Loss/Etc.) must
be entered. If the recovering agency can determine that the stolen property came from another
jurisdiction (in this case, Seattle), the recovering agency (PCSO) must enter the property loss code
of 1 = None. Seattle P.D. would submit a Type of Property Loss code of 5 = Recovered to update
the original incident report (with a type property loss of 7 = Stolen) following the actual physical
recovery of the property from Pierce County to Seattle.
When the location of an incident is a motel, hotel, or self-storage unit, and several rooms/units are
broken into, is that counted as more than one burglary?
No; the Hotel Rule applies in this instance: “If a number of units under a single manager are
burglarized and the offenses are most likely to be reported to the police by the manager rather than
the individual tenants/renters, the burglary should be reported as a single incident”.
In NIBRS, the FBI expanded this rule to include mini-storage/self-storage facilities. The number of
rooms, units, suites, storage compartments, etc., which were broken into is reported in Data
Element 10 (Number of Premises Entered).
When more than one car is stolen in a single incident, how is the actual number of motor vehicle
offenses generated?
Agencies should use Data Element 18 (Number of Stolen Motor Vehicles) to generate offense
counts for Motor Vehicle Theft.
Exceptional Clearances
If the prosecutor returns a case as “nolle pros”, which means there will be no prosecution, can the
incident be cleared by exception, prosecution declined?
The circumstance of “prosecution declined” may be used to exceptionally clear an incident
provided that the prosecutor declines prosecution for a reason other than a lack of probable cause,
such as limited resources.
92
Fraud/Counterfeiting/Forgery/Embezzlement
A vehicle is rented with false identification and/or a stolen credit card, what offense is reported?
The offense reported would be Fraud. If a credit card was used to perpetrate the fraud, the offense
would be classified as Credit Card/Automatic Teller Machine Fraud.
An 18-year-old college student borrows a driver’s license from someone who is 21 years of age and
uses the license to purchase beer or liquor. His intent is only to be able to purchase alcohol. In
most cases, the 18-year-old will be arrested for underage drinking. Should we include the offense
of Identity Theft, which would turn a Group B arrest report into a Group A offense report?
Yes; if the law enforcement agency determines that the buyer used another person’s driver’s license
to make the purchase, this should be reported to UCR as a Fraud-Identity Theft (26F) offense.
A person gave a friend an item, such as a car, to borrow or use. The friend decided to sell the car
for money. He was entrusted with the item and then misused it. Is that embezzlement?
No; the scenario described would be classified as Fraud because the offender originally had lawful
possession of the property. The property was either rented, loaned, or the person was in some way
entrusted with its possession and there was an implicit promise to return the car; however, through
deceit, the offender kept the property. For the offense of Embezzlement, the victim to offender
relationship is generally that of employer to employee.
If a clerk at a local market is at work, then leaves work and takes home a loaf of bread and a
gallon of milk, would this be considered embezzlement?
Yes; the NIBRS defines embezzlement as “the unlawful misappropriation by an offender to his/her
own use or purpose of money, property, or some other thing of value entrusted to his/her care,
custody, or control”. Since property of the store is deemed to be entrusted to the employee’s care,
custody, or control, this scenario is properly classified as embezzlement.
How do you classify an incident involving forged prescriptions?
At the very least, this incident would be classified as counterfeiting/forgery, which is defined as
“The altering, copying, or imitation of something, without authority or right, with the intent to
deceive or defraud by passing the copy or thing altered or imitated as that which is original or
genuine ....” However, incidents involving forged prescriptions may also contain additional
offenses depending on the circumstances of the incident.
Which offense classification(s) should be used to enter prescription fraud?
An incident in which a fraud is perpetrated in order to obtain a controlled drug or narcotic substance
may involve an offense of Fraud (26) and possibly Drug/Narcotic Violations (35A). The
circumstances of the incident will dictate the type of fraud, whether an additional offense of
Counterfeiting/Forgery (250) was committed, if the incident involved additional offenses of
Drug/Narcotic Violations (35A), and/or whether the incident was attempted or completed.
We have had several different scenarios with prescription fraud. We have had offenders steal the
prescription pads, forge them, and pass them; offenders create prescriptions on the computer and
then pass them at the pharmacy, or; offenders call the pharmacy pretending to be the doctor and
request prescriptions be filled, then they go to the pharmacy and pick-up the medication. How
should these be reported?
93
The offenses of forging prescription pads or altering a prescription without authority or right should
be classified as Counterfeiting/Forgery (250); passing the prescription constitutes Fraud - False
Pretenses/Swindle/Confidence Game (26A). In addition, there is also an offense of Drug/Narcotic
Violations (35A). If an offender calls a pharmacy pretending to be a doctor, this is an offense of
Fraud-Identity Theft (26F) with the doctor being the victim.
A victim reported to the police department that some of his checks have been stolen and passed.
The victim has been to the bank and signed an affidavit that he did not write these checks.
Although the police department is responsible for reporting the theft of the checks, multiple
jurisdictions were involved. How is this information reported to the NIBRS? Can the agency
where the victim is located report the 250 = Counterfeiting/Forgery and/or 26A = Fraud False
Pretenses/Swindle/Confidence Game?
The theft of the checks should be reported by the most local agency having jurisdiction over the
location of the offense. Each check that is forged and passed should be reported by the most local
agency having jurisdiction over the location of those offenses.
For example, if checks were stolen as a result of a purse-snatching that occurred in Moses Lake, the
Moses Lake Police Department would report the Larceny/Theft, Purse-Snatching, (23B). When the
checks were forged and passed in Ellensburg, the Ellensburg Police Department would report an
incident of Forgery (250) and Fraud (26A) for each check passed in a different location (separation
of time and place) in Ellensburg. If the checks had been forged and passed in Moses Lake, the
Moses Lake Police Department would report an incident of Forgery (250) and Fraud (26A) for each
check passed in a different location in Moses Lake (again using separation of time and place as
criterion for an incident).
A clerk works in a department store and a friend of the clerk comes in to make a purchase. When
the friend gets to the check-out, the clerk rings up the merchandise at a lesser price. What is the
proper classification for this scenario?
The offense category is Fraud. The classification is 26A = False Pretenses/Swindle/ Confidence
Game.
If a person displayed a revoked or suspended license to an officer during a traffic stop and tried to
pass it off as a valid license, should this be classified as a 26A-False Pretenses/Swindle/Confidence
Game, or should the offense be treated as a traffic offense and not reported to the UCR/NIBRS
Program?
The UCR/NIBRS Program considers this a traffic offense that is not reportable to the UCR/NIBRS
Program.

Overview of the Washington State NIBRS Program
The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) was developed in the 1980s to illustrate the
volume, diversity, and complexity of crime more effectively than the original Summary Reporting
System (SRS) method of submitting Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR). Washington State became
certified to begin submitting NIBRS data to the FBI in December 2006. After an agency is certified to
submit to the state repository via NIBRS, WASPC will no longer accept SRS submissions from that
agency; only agencies with approved extensions for certification have been allowed to submit SRS
reports past the January 1, 2012, deadline for NIBRS conversion.
The differences between the NIBRS and SRS are significant in that the level of information collected in
NIBRS is in greater detail. The SRS method was a monthly count of the ten (10) Part One offenses,
based on a hierarchy value of offenses within an incident; the values of property stolen were submitted
as well as counts of arrests. There was no method of linking property stolen or arrests to the offense
counts in SRS. NIBRS is incident-based with each incident containing offense, property stolen, and
arrest information that is relational.
While SRS collected only counts on ten (10) offense types, NIBRS collects information on fifty-three
(53) different offenses. Some of the additional offenses in NIBRS are Forcible and Non-Forcible Sex
Offenses, Fraud, Kidnapping, and Drug Violations.
The method of submitting data differs as well. Monthly SRS reports were sent to WASPC primarily as
hard copies through the mail, fax, or e-mail. Once WASPC received the reports, the data was re-keyed
into our SRS database. NIBRS data are submitted electronically: agencies use an Internet connection to
either enter incident data directly to the repository or to upload a batch file created by their NIBRS-
compliant records management system. There is no need for WASPC staff to re-key the data.
What are the Benefits to NIBRS Reporting?
NIBRS reporting has many benefits over SRS due to the details it extracts from each incident. Using
NIBRS, up to ten reportable offenses within an incident can be identified: not only the most important
offense as provided by the hierarchy rule in SRS.
Among the chief benefits to NIBRS data is the availability of detailed reports in the NIBRS web-based
repository. There are standardized reports available and can be created easily. Users can obtain reports
for other participating agencies as well as their own or produce a county-wide or state-wide report.
Ultimately, reports are the main benefit to NIBRS. On a state level, WASPC can use the detailed
reports to support legislation for public safety bills. Where the traditional SRS data were lacking,
NIBRS can provide information on sex offenses, frauds, and drug violations, among many other
offenses and incident details.
Reasons for Agency NIBRS Certification
1. After an agency becomes certified to submit NIBRS, neither the FBI nor WASPC accepts Summary
Reporting System (SRS) submissions from that agency.
95
2. Although NIBRS submission is considered voluntary as SRS had been, there are some state statutes
requiring submission to WASPC, such as domestic violence crime reporting, pursuant to RCW
10.99.030, and hate bias crime reporting, pursuant to RCW 36.28A.030.
3. There are state funding opportunities and programs tied to crime statistic reporting. For example,
RCW 82.14.310 for counties and RCW 82.14.320 for municipalities define the criminal justice
assistance accounts and the use of crime statistics for calculation in funding.
4. Some grant opportunities from federal agencies depend on crime statistics as well. For example, the
federal legislation authorizing the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program
awards is 42 United States Code (U.S.C.) § 3751(a). To be eligible, the JAG statute requires local
governments report UCR data on violent crimes for at least three (3) of the last ten (10) years.
Reference: https://www.bja.gov/Funding/JAGFAQ.pdf
5. Timely UCR submission to WASPC is a requirement for the agency accreditation program - Chapter
5, Standard 5.12.
Sanctions for Non-Compliance or Misuse
An agency may be considered non-compliant in the following circumstances:
1. Failure to submit statutorily-mandated domestic violence and malicious harassment crimes or other
crime reporting mandated by state statute.
2. Failure to enter and/or submit data to the State repository for multiple consecutive months in the
format accepted by the repository.
3. Failure to enter and/or submit data by the 15th of the following month for three (3) consecutive
months.
4. Failure to retest submissions after a records management system (RMS) upgrade or change to
another RMS.
5. Dissemination of another agency’s data without consent or authorization unless the data is part of an
official publication.
6. If an agency is found to be non-compliant or misusing data, it is subject to “de-certification” and
must apply to be “re-certified” for submission using NIBRS.
How to Begin?
To begin, you will need to determine your agency’s capabilities. Medium to large agencies should
determine if their records management system (RMS) is NIBRS-capable. If you are unsure, contact
your RMS vendor. WASPC staff will gladly assist you or your vendor to determine if your system
meets the Washington NIBRS standards. If your RMS is not NIBRS-capable, you should begin
considering how to best become NIBRS-capable.
If your agency has no RMS and generally has fifty (50) or less NIBRS incidents per month, you may
want to consider the NIBRS individual incident entry (IIE) component. If you are interested in this
method, contact the WASPC CJIS Department and the staff will assist you.
Once you have determined that you are technologically ready, you will want to ensure you or your staff
understands the basics of NIBRS and more importantly, understands where to look for assistance.
WASPC provides free regional training to agencies that are preparing to begin reporting. A NIBRS
training schedule can be found on the WASPC website, www.waspc.org. Training is necessary to
become a certified NIBRS agency.
96
Certification is required for those agencies wishing to submit NIBRS data. It is important that the
transition from SRS to NIBRS does not degrade the data. Therefore, there are three (3) qualifications to
becoming certified and to ensure that the NIBRS data from your agency will be as accurate as possible.
In most cases, the data will be more accurate than SRS.
If you plan to submit monthly batches that are created from your RMS, your batch file will need
to have an error rate of less than 4% for three (3) consecutive months. You can begin testing
with data that has occurred in the past or using current data. If you begin with past data, you can
usually get through the test process more quickly since you can send each month without the
delay of waiting for the month to pass. However, if you have problems with a high error rate,
using current data may be easier since you can learn to avoid the errors before submitting
subsequent months. If you are using the individual incident entry (IIE) function, you need only
to check each incident for errors as you go and fix them, to have a zero error rate.
Once you have submitted your NIBRS data for an entire month, we will compare it to the SRS
that you send us for that month. We will do this for at least three (3) months but generally not
more than six (6) months. While we don’t expect the data to match exactly, it should be fairly
close and we should be able identify why the data doesn’t match. Data that are inconsistent and
dissimilar will not pass unless we see improvement with each month.
Additionally, at least one person in your law enforcement agency must attend NIBRS training
which is provided free of charge by WASPC staff. To set up a training class or to get more
information, please contact the WASPC CJIS staff at cjis@waspc.org.
Different Elements of WA NIBRS
As mentioned earlier, the main purpose to reporting NIBRS data is for the information that can be
gained from it. This information may be at the agency, county, state or national level.
Because NIBRS data can be used for legislation, departmental analysis, and by researchers, it is
imperative that the data is as accurate and as detailed as possible. If data are known or if evidence
suggests certain characteristics, you are encouraged to choose values that best depict those
characteristics. While the value of “Unknown” is available in many fields, it should not be used often as
it doesn’t really convey much information. If the data that is input is detailed and accurate, the output
will be more meaningful.
The Washington State NIBRS reports are available to all NIBRS reporting agencies. To access these
reports, a login and password must be assigned by your agency administrator. If you need assistance to
identify your agency’s administrator, please contact the CJIS Department at WASPC. There are many
different reports from which to choose; many that agencies can access for other jurisdictions and levels.
Reporting Guidelines
NIBRS data is due by midnight on the 15th of the following month. Example: If an agency is sending
data for the month of November, they should upload it or manually enter the November incidents by
December 15th. If the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline is extended to the next business
day. You can include data from previous months in this file, as well as any changes or deletions to
97
previously submitted data. If you have any difficulties during the upload or entry process, it is your
responsibility to contact the CJIS Department at WASPC. If you submit a batch entry, you will receive
an e-mail acknowledging the submission and you will be able to view your error report immediately.
It is important errors are corrected so that they can be included in the Washington State crime reports
and forwarded to the FBI. Using the error report, you may either correct your errors using the NIBRS
system manual entry incident/arrest feature or if you are a batch entry agency, you may fix the errors in
your system and resubmit them with the following month’s file.
Group A Incident Reports
Each Group A Incident Report can contain up to 10 offense types, 999 victims, 99 offenders, and 99
arrestees. Ten (10) different types of property can be entered for each of six (6) types of property loss.
Understanding Clearances
A clearance can be by “arrest” or “exceptional means” and could possibly be for an offense in a prior
year. The number of clearances does not reflect the number of persons arrested in an offense. A
clearance does not include a case for which a law enforcement agency could not proceed with an
investigation due to lack of evidence or an uncooperative or unavailable witness or victim.
In NIBRS, clearances are on the incident level rather than the offense level. If one offense within an
incident is cleared, all offenses in that incident are cleared. Likewise, the arrest of one offender in an
incident will clear it, even if other offenders have not been arrested yet. Clearances by arrest are
automatically created when you submit an Arrest Segment with your Group A incidents. An incident
cannot be cleared exceptionally if there has been an arrest.
Clearances by Exceptional Means allow your agency to clear an incident without an arrest. To do this,
certain criteria must be met. These criteria are:
1. The identity of at least one offender must be known.
2. Sufficient probable cause must have been developed to support the arrest and prosecution of the
offender.
3. The offender’s exact location must be known.
4. There must be a reason, outside law enforcement’s control which prevents the arrest.
If no exceptional clearance exists, N = Not Applicable must be indicated in Data Element 4 – Cleared
Exceptionally.
The Concept of Time and Place as Used in NIBRS
The concept of time and place is based on the premise that if more than one crime was committed by the
same person or group of persons and the time and space intervals separating them were insignificant, all
of the crimes make up a single incident. It’s important that even if it is considered a single incident, all
offenses are reported.
98
If, however, the offender and the victim are the same but the crime has occurred multiple times over a
long period, one incident should be submitted. An example of this would be forcible fondling of a child
by a trusted caregiver over the course of a year: This scenario should be submitted as one incident.
Acting in Concert
The Acting in Concert rule requires that the offenders actually commit or assist in the commission of the
crime(s). The offenders must be aware of and consent to the commission of the crime or even if non-
consenting, their actions assist in the commission of the crime. If they were not aware or if they tried to
stop an offense from being committed, then there would be two (2) separate incidents. This is important
since the possible arrest of one suspect will clear all offenses in the incident. Otherwise, if one suspect
did not commit or condone an offense and that suspect is arrested, the offense would be cleared even
though the suspect committing the offense was not arrested.
The NIBRS Data Element 2 (Incident Number) provides a viable way to report two (2) incident numbers
by allowing up to 12 characters in length. The initial incident number should be used for one of the
incidents, and a suffix can be added to the incident number for the second incident. This way, the
incidents can still be tied together for police record keeping, while still reporting the situation correctly
for NIBRS.
For example, a robbery is taking place at a convenience store. One of the robbers leaves the building to
rob gas pumping customers and this person also commits a rape outside of the view of the other
offenders. This should be submitted as two (2) separate incidents; one for the robbery and one for the
rape. The rape would only have one offender; the robberies would show multiple offenders.
Mutually Exclusive Offenses
Mutually Exclusive offenses are ones that cannot occur to the same victim by UCR definitions. A
Lesser Included offense is one that is an element of another offense and should not be reported as having
happened to the victim along with the other offense. Lesser Included and Mutually Exclusive offenses
are defined as follows:
1) Murder - Aggravated Assault, Simple Assault, and Intimidation are all lesser included offenses
of Murder. Negligent Manslaughter is mutually exclusive.
2) Aggravated Assault - Simple Assault and Intimidation are lesser included offenses of Aggravated
Assault.
3) Simple Assault - Intimidation is a lesser included offense of Simple Assault.
4) Intimidation - Intimidation is a lesser included offense of Murder, Aggravated Assault, Rape,
Sodomy, Sexual Assault with an Object, Fondling, and Robbery.
5) Negligent Manslaughter - Murder, Aggravated Assault, Simple Assault, and Intimidation are
mutually exclusive offenses. The FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook, NIBRS Edition,
defines Negligent Manslaughter as “The killing of another person through negligence”. The
same publication indicates that Assault offenses are characterized by “unlawful attack[s]”.
6) Rape - Aggravated Assault, Simple Assault, Intimidation, and Fondling are lesser included
offenses of Rape.
7) Sodomy - Aggravated Assault, Simple Assault, Intimidation, and Fondling are lesser included
offenses of Sodomy.
99
8) Sexual Assault with an Object - Aggravated Assault, Simple Assault, Intimidation, and Fondling
are lesser included offenses of Sexual Assault with an Object.
9) Fondling - Simple Assault and Intimidation are lesser included offenses of Fondling.
10) Incest - Rape, Sodomy, Sexual Assault with an Object, and Fondling are mutually exclusive
offenses. Incest involves consent, while the prior offenses involve forced sexual relations
against the victim’s will.
11) Statutory Rape - Rape, Sodomy, Sexual Assault with an Object, and Fondling are mutually
exclusive offenses. Statutory Rape involves consent, while the prior offenses involve forced
sexual relations against the victim’s will.
12) Robbery - Aggravated Assault, Simple Assault, Intimidation, and all Theft offenses (including
Motor Vehicle Theft) are lesser included offenses of Robbery.
See the following chart for more explanation. Mutually exclusive offenses when occurring to the same
person:
