ANNOUNCEMENT OF RELEASE
California Incident-Based Reporting System (CIBRS)
Flat-File Technical Specifications Document
The California Department of Justice (CA DOJ) is pleased to announce the release of the CIBRS
Flat-File Technical Specifications version 2020.1. This document provides the technical
language, validation rules, and logic for the CA DOJ’s expansion of the FBI’s National Incident-
Based Reporting System (NIBRS) Technical Specifications which includes additional CA values
for existing NIBRS fields and new CA data elements. The CIBRS Flat-File Technical
Specifications version 2020.1 must be used in addition to the FBI’s NIBRS Technical
Specifications version 2019.1. The FBI’s NIBRS Technical Specifications version 2019.1 can be
found at: https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/ucr/ucr-2019-1-nibrs-technical-
specification.pdf/view.
The CIBRS Flat-File Technical Specifications document should used solely for the Flat-
File data submission method, as it will not provide the specifications for any other submission
types. The CIBRS XML Technical Specifications will be released in March 2020.
All CIBRS Technical Specifications documents will be updated on an as-needed basis,
or when the FBI’s NIBRS Technical Specifications is updated with changes that would affect the
existing CIBRS specifications.
The CA DOJ will be scheduling webinar sessions with our CIBRS repository vendor,
Optimum Technology, to facilitate answering questions related to both technical specification
documents. In order to optimize the webinars, the CA DOJ is asking that all questions be pre-
submitted by participating agencies and their vendors to CANIBRS@doj.ca.gov. This will allow
the CA DOJ to prepare for the webinar discussion to ensure that it is timely and productive. The
webinar details will be forthcoming.
Please submit all questions related to the CA DOJ’s NIBRS transition effort and documentation
to CANIBRS@doj.ca.gov.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this CIBRS Flat-File Technical Specifications document is to provide
details regarding the additional data the California Department of Justice (CA DOJ) will
collect beyond what is collected for a National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS)
submission. This Technical Specifications document covers the NIBRS data elements
with any additional California (CA) data values and new California-specific data elements.
This document covers only the additions made to the FBI’s NIBRS Technical
Specifications to accommodate additional CA data values and data elements. This
document should be used in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI)
NIBRS Technical Specification Version 2019.1.
1) NIBRS Data Elements with Additional CA Values: For some of the NIBRS data
elements, CA DOJ will expand them to collect additional values.
Example: For NIBRS Data Element 28 (Race of Victim), CA DOJ will collect
four additional values and roll them up to one NIBRS value upon transmission
to the FBI. This is detailed for each additional CA value and an example is
displayed in the table below:
Table 2 - Example of NIBRS Data Element with Additional CA Values
Additional CA Values NIBRS Value
X = Native Hawaiian The additional CA values will be sent to the FBI as
Y = Pacific Islander P = Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander
Z = Samoan
V = Guamanian
Note: The highlighted values in the table are the additional CA values the
CIBRS Repository will collect and store. The CIBRS Repository will then
logically convert the additional CA Values and roll them up to the appropriate
NIBRS value when they are sent to the FBI. All validations will be performed
on the rolled-up NIBRS value.
2) Additional CA-Specific Data Elements: The additional CA data elements are
collected in four new segments. The four new segments are: Segment 8, Segment
9, Segment B, and Segment A.
For Group A Incident Reports, the additional fields are collected in:
a) Segment 8 (Level 8)
b) Segment 9 (Level 9)
c) Segment B (Level B)
For Group B Arrest Reports, the additional fields are collected in:
a) Segment A (Level A)

CA DOJ CIBRS Repository Flat File Technical Specifications Document
Each new segment’s layout designs are in-line with standard NIBRS segments.
The new segments have:
a) the same header information as in standard NIBRS segments
b) Data Element 1 (ORI) and Data Element 2 (Incident Number) for Group A
Incident Reports
c) Data Element 1 (ORI), Data Element 40 (Arrestee Sequence Number), and
Data Element 41 (Arrestee Transaction Number) for Group B Arrest
Reports
Note: The purpose, layout, list of fields, and validations for each segment are
covered in the subsequent sections.

2. OVERVIEW OF NIBRS DATA ELEMENTS AFFECTED BY CA CUSTOMIZATIONS
This section details the NIBRS Data Elements that are impacted by the CA
customizations. Please read this section carefully.
1) Format Changes to the FBI NIBRS Data Elements: There are some format changes
to the FBI NIBRS Data Elements to accommodate additional CA values.
Example: Per the FBI’s NIBRS Technical Specification, the format of Data
Element 9 (Location Type) is: 2-Character Numeric. The format is changed to a 2-
Character Alphanumeric to accommodate the additional CA values and avoid a
future clash in values in case the FBI extends the values of a particular NIBRS
data element.
2) NIBRS “Dropped” Values (FBI NIBRS Values Not Submitted by LEAs): To
accommodate the additional CA values, some of the FBI’s NIBRS values are “dropped”
or not used by LEA’s when submitting data to the CA DOJ.
Example: For Data Element 9 (Location Type), the value: ‘53 = School–
Elementary/Secondary’ is dropped and should not be reported by LEA’s. Instead,
LEAs should report using one of the three additional values displayed below:
S1 = School- Elementary
S2 = School- Junior High
S3 = School- High School
3) NIBRS Data Elements with Additional CA values: Additional CA values are added
to each of the following FBI NIBRS Data Elements listed below:
1) Data Element 8A (Bias Motivation)
2) Data Element 9 (Location Type)
3) Data Element 13 (Type Weapon/Force Involved)
4) Data Element 15 (Property Description)
5) Data Element 25 (Type of Victim)
6) Data Element 27 (Sex of Victim)
7) Data Element 28 (Race of Victim)
8) Data Element 30 (Resident Status of Victim)
9) Data Element 31 (Aggravated Assault/Homicide Circumstances)
10) Data Element 35 (Relationship of Victim to Offender)
11) Data Element 38 (Sex of Offender)
12) Data Element 39 (Race of Offender)
13) Data Element 48 (Sex of Arrestee)
14) Data Element 49 (Race of Arrestee)
15) Data Element 51 (Resident Status of Arrestee)
16) Data Element 52 (Disposition of Arrestee Under 18)

Reproductive Rights Crime (ARRC) Indicator, Identity Theft Indicator, Gang Activity
Indicator, Gang Type, Hate Crime Offensive Act, and CA Offense Code details for the
offenses reported in a Group A Incident Report.
1) Segment 8 (Level 8) can be reported only once for each Group A Incident Report.
