I. INTRODUCTION
SCOPE
The Criminal Justice Statistics Center (CJSC) collects criminal justice data from law
enforcement agencies in California through the Monthly Arrest and Citation Register (MACR)
reporting system. Using this information, the CJSC publishes regular reports, conducts special
studies, and responds to special requests for statistical data.
PURPOSE
The MACR reporting system collects information on all adult and juvenile arrests and citations
in California. Information developed from the system provides statistical arrest data for local,
county, regional, and state agencies and is used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in
their annual accounting of arrests in California and the United States.
AUTHORITY
California law enforcement agencies are required to forward monthly reports to the Department
of Justice (DOJ) under the authority of California Penal Code Sections (PC) 13010-13012 and
13020-13023.

II. GENERAL INFORMATION
SUBMITTING THE MACR REPORT
DUE DATE
The MACR report is due within ten (10) working days after the end of each calendar month. For
example, February data is due the 10th working day of March.
DELINQUENT MACR REPORTS
The DOJ will contact agencies that have not submitted their MACR reports in a timely manner:
DAYS PAST DUE CONTACT MADE
30 days telephone call or e-mail to the designated agency contact
60 days letter to the Records Supervisor
90 days letter to the Chief or Sheriff
RESOLVING ERRORS
Agencies that submit data that do not meet the DOJ reporting requirements will be contacted by
telephone, letter, or field visit to resolve questions and/or reporting requirements. Contributing
agencies should provide the CJSC with a current list of telephone numbers and individuals who
may be contacted when questions arise or reporting errors need to be resolved.
INQUIRIES TO THE CJSC
Any inquiries regarding the MACR system should be directed to:
CRIMINAL JUSTICE STATISTICS CENTER
P.O. BOX 903427
SACRAMENTO, CA 94203-4270
Telephone: (916) 227-3516
Fax : (916) 227-3561
REPORTING METHODS
The MACR report can be submitted in the following formats:
MANUAL REPORTS
Arrest and citation data can be reported by completing a Monthly Arrest and Citation Register
form (JUS 750).
Submission: Completed JUS 750 forms must be mailed to the Criminal Justice Statistics
Center, P.O. Box 903427, Sacramento, CA 94203-4270.
2
Example of the Monthly Arrest and Citation Register form (JUS 750).
3
COMPUTER PRINTOUTS
Computer printouts for the MACR are acceptable provided they are in the same format as the
JUS 750. Race should be reported with the appropriate alpha code. Sex, Level, Status, and Law
Enforcement Disposition should be reported with the appropriate numeric code. Birthdate and
Date of Arrest should be eight-digit numeric codes (e.g., 01/06/1945).
If more than one page of the register is filled out during the month, number the pages
consecutively. The juvenile arrest data should follow the adult arrest data. For example, if there
are 20 pages of adults and 5 pages of juveniles, pages 1-20 should be adults and pages 21-25
should be juveniles. A sample printout should be sent to the CJSC to resolve problems PRIOR
to submitting actual data.
Submission: Computer printouts must be mailed to the Criminal Justice Statistics Center, P.O.
Box 903427, Sacramento, CA 94203-4270.

E-CARS (version 5.0) - No internet access required
If your agency does not have access to the Internet, the Electronic-Crime and Arrest Reporting
System (E-CARS) software (available on CD-ROM) contains two reporting programs: Crime
and Clearance and the Monthly Arrest and Citation Register. E-CARS allows law enforcement
agencies that do not utilize a record management system to easily collect and report statistical
data. Agencies can collect criminal statistics, ensure the data is complete and correct, maintain a
statistical database, and generate agency reports. Statistical data are exported on to a diskette or
CD-ROM for submitting to the DOJ.
For agencies with record management systems, report layout specifications are available to
generate files that adhere to the DOJ reporting requirements and conditional checks. Data files
must be submitted to the DOJ on a diskette or CD-ROM. See record layout specifications on
Submission: Diskettes and CD-ROMs must be mailed to the Criminal Justice Statistics Center,
P.O. Box 903427, Sacramento, CA 94203-4270.
E-CARS PLUS - Internet access required
If your agency has access to the Internet, E-CARS Plus is a web-based application that consists
of three reporting programs: Crime and Clearance, Monthly Arrest and Citation Register, and
Anti-Reproductive-Rights Crimes.
This application can be used by agencies with or without a records management system. If your
agency does not have a records management system, data can be directly keyed into E-CARS
Plus. For agencies that utilize a records management system, data in the proper format (see
record layout specifications on pages can be uploaded into E-CARS Plus. No matter
which method is used, the data are run through edits and conditional checks to ensure they are
complete and correct. Error resolution and corrections to data are also handled within this
electronic environment. The data are secure within the DOJ network and received within
minutes of submission. E-CARS Plus eliminates the risk of losing data in the mail and reduces
your agency’s mailing costs. Expenses for media, such as floppy diskette and CD-ROM, are also
eliminated.
For a “hands-on” demonstration of E-CARS Plus, an interactive training CD is available upon
request. Additional features of the web application include on-line help and built-in statistical
reports. For more information about reporting your statistical data via E-CARS Plus, please
contact the CJSC at (916) 227-3564.
Submission: Data are electronically submitted to the DOJ over a secure network.

III. REPORTING STANDARDS
Arrest/Citation Data
The MACR reporting system collects information on all adult and juvenile arrests and citations
in California. Information developed from the system provides statistical arrest data for local,
county, regional, and state agencies and is used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in
their annual accounting of arrests in California and the United States.
The MACR system includes arrest data on all persons processed by arrest, citation, or summons
for committing an offense within the reporting jurisdiction. Include: (1) Those persons arrested
and released without a formal charge being placed against them. An arrest has occurred when a
law enforcement officer detains an adult with the intention of seeking charges against the person
for a specific offense and a record is made of the detention; (2) Juveniles taken into custody or
arrested and are merely warned and released without being charged.
Data on persons taken into custody for other jurisdictions should not be reported by the arresting
agency. The agency for whom the arrest was made, i.e., the jurisdiction where the offense
occurred, will report the arrestee data, and thus, duplication in reporting will be avoided.
Because of the wider range of police involvement in juvenile control than in the control of adults,
a major problem is to specifically define police contacts that, for statistical purposes, are arrests
and those that are not considered arrests. The word “arrest” as it applies to juveniles is intended
to mean the law enforcement handling of all juveniles (under age 18) who have committed a
crime and are taken into custody under such circumstances that, if the juvenile were an adult, an
arrest would have been reported. An adult is usually held for prosecution for some charge or is
released for future handling in court.
Juvenile Arrests for Statistical Purposes
• Contacts that require an action subsequent to the initial contact are arrests. Contacts of
this type include those that result in the transportation of juveniles to the officer’s
headquarters and a subsequent arrest report or booking record completed whether
released to parents, placed in a juvenile hall, jail, or other detention facility, or released on
their own recognizance. Included in the group are juveniles released after they have been
issued citations wherein they agree to appear at the probation department, before a
juvenile officer, or other person within the police agency for further consideration of the
case. Note that each type of action listed requires an action subsequent to the initial
contact.
• Some situations require only initial contacts to qualify as an arrest. These are contacts
where the juvenile’s responsibility for an offense is admitted, but the incident is recorded
and closed by the police during the initial interview. For example, a juvenile has stolen
9
property from a neighbor. The officer called to the scene may apprehend the juvenile,
reprimand him, secure the return of the property, and conclude the entire case without the
necessity of subsequent action.
• Any situation where a juvenile, in lieu of an actual arrest, is summoned, cited, or notified
to appear before a juvenile or youth court or similar authority for a violation of the law
should be reported as an arrest.
Not Considered Juvenile Arrests for Statistical Purposes
• Contacts that do not require subsequent action generally are in the field contact or field
interrogation category and are not considered an arrest. They involve situations where
juveniles are stopped, questioned, or identified, and possibly reprimanded or requested to
disperse or return home. In these situations, no further action is taken by the police and
the matter is closed.
• Requests during field contacts for juveniles to call at the officer’s headquarters or some
other specified location for an interview are not considered an arrest. These
appointments, usually investigative interviews, are considered voluntary actions by the
juvenile. If the juvenile refuses to comply with the officer’s request, and is thereafter
ordered to comply, his compliance would then be considered an arrest.
• Instances wherein juveniles are taken into custody for their own protection (e.g., neglect
cases) should not be recorded as arrests.
• “Call backs” or “follow up contacts” with juveniles by officers for the purpose of
determining their progress should not be counted as “arrests.”
10
TYPES OF RECORDS TO REPORT:
Bench warrants
See the “Warrants" section on pp. 20-21 for more information.
Bookable arrests
Bookable arrests for criminal and traffic offenses.
Citations for misdemeanor offenses
Such as shoplifting, petty theft, possession of marijuana, etc., where the maximum penalty
involved is more than a fine.
Civil drunk arrests

Federal offenses
Give the specific offense, for example illegal alien, narcotic offense, or military (AWOL). For
statistical purposes, federal offenses are always classified as “felony-level (3)” offenses, status is
“booked (2),” and the disposition is “turned-over (2).”
Juvenile contacts handled beyond a mere field interview
See the “Juvenile Arrests for Statistical Purposes” section on pp. 9-10 for an explanation.
Misdemeanor Traffic Violations
Defined in California Vehicle Code Sections 40000.5 - 40000.25. Some misdemeanor traffic
violations are optional for reporting to the CJSC. Arrests for these traffic violations will be
shown on the CJSC tabulations as “Misd. Traffic” under “Other Reported Offense” and not
included in misdemeanor arrest totals. (See Appendix 4, Misdemeanor Traffic Violations.)
Probation and parole violations
If a subject is arrested on a local charge and for violation of probation or parole, only the most
serious charge should be reported. If the probation or parole violation is the most serious charge,
specify if the offense is a felony (F) or misdemeanor (M) violation.
Traffic warrants
e.g., 40508(A)-(C) VC - failure to appear (for this type of warrant, specify the violation as
“40508 VC” rather than the original traffic offense) and 42005(G) VC - failure to attend traffic
school.

WARRANTS
It is necessary to identify the specific type of warrant served because warrants are reported
differently on the MACR (e.g., local warrants of arrest, local bench warrants, local traffic
warrants, and outside warrants).
Type of Warrant Description
Local Warrant of A warrant issued by the court for a crime committed within your
Arrest jurisdiction, accusing the defendant named and described. This is the
first time the defendant is arrested for the crime. DO NOT indicate
warrant arrest.
Example: A crime of felony 459 PC occurred on January 31. An investigation was completed
and on February 18 an arrest warrant was issued and served on Gerald Eugene Smith for this
offense.
Local Bench Warrant A warrant issued by the court for a defendant’s arrest because he/she
(Failure to Appear has missed a scheduled court appearance on an original charge. DO
Warrant) NOT report the original charge.
Example: Henry James White was arrested on January 27 for felony 459 PC. He was booked
into jail and released on a citation to appear on January 30. When he failed to appear, a bench
warrant was issued. On February 1, he was picked up on the bench warrant.
Local Traffic Warrant These are issued when a person fails to appear for vehicle code
violations and should be recorded as “40508 VC.” DO NOT record
the original traffic offense. This includes those served by your
agency who pay the fine at the counter in lieu of an actual booking or
those who report and pay the fine directly to the court. However, a
person picked up on another agency’s traffic warrant should be
reported as an outside warrant.

This includes those served by youragency who pay the fine at the counter in lieu of an actual booking orthose who report and pay the fine directly to the court. However, aperson picked up on another agency’s traffic warrant should bereported as an outside warrant.
Type of Warrant Description
Outside Warrant Refers to OUT OF AGENCY warrants, not out of county warrants.
This includes all warrants, bench warrants, and traffic warrants
issued for another agency. DO NOT record the actual charge.
Record only as "O/W-F" or "O/W-M" to indicate whether the Outside
Warrant is a felony or misdemeanor level.
Local Arrest or Local When you have a local arrest or local warrant in conjunction with an
Warrant in outside warrant, ignore the information on the outside warrant.
Conjunction with an Record only the local charge.
Out Warrant
Example: John Doe (DOB 09/06/1954) is arrested for 23152 VC (a local charge) and it is then
determined he has an outstanding warrant from another agency for 187 PC. The 23152 VC
should be recorded in the charges column. The disposition is "1" if the 23152 VC charge is
released or "3" if charges for the local offense will be filed.
Local Charge and If an individual is arrested for a local charge and a local bench
Local Bench Warrant warrant, ONLY the most serious charge should be recorded (the
charge with the lowest hierarchy number).

When manually completing the JUS 750 form, leave this field blank. This column is for DOJ
use only.
If submitting data on a computer printout, this field is a 3-digit numeric code. A paper copy or a
.txt file of the valid BCS offense codes can be obtained upon request. See the Supply Request
section (p. 8) to obtain a copy.
11. STATUS (required)
The status column describes the type of apprehension (at the time of initial contact with the
arrestee). It determines how many individuals are cited versus those actually delivered to jail.
The arresting agency is responsible for determining if it is a "cite," "book" or "other." The
arresting agency should report “book” even when the suspect is sent to another law enforcement
agency for processing. For example, many police departments send suspects that have been
arrested to the county jail to be booked. Only the arresting police department should report the
arrest to avoid duplication of data. Report only those arrests made for offenses committed within
22
your own boundaries/jurisdiction. ENTER ONE STATUS PER LINE ITEM.

3. Do I have to submit a report if we do not have any arrests or citations for the month?
If an agency does not have any juvenile or adult arrests or citations for the month, a Negative Report
must be submitted.
4. What does an “S” in the level column indicate on the Offense Look Up screen in E-CARS
Plus?
The “S” in the level column refers to “status” which is a delinquent act committed by juveniles. It is
used only when reporting 777 W&I or 601 W&I Code offenses. When reporting 601 W&I offenses,
enter the desired offense description such as runaway, truancy, curfew, or incorrigible.
5. If I have a juvenile arrest for 601 W&I or 602 W&I, do I have to specify the offense?
When a juvenile arrest is made on the authority of either 601 or 602 W&I, record the actual offense
description for the arrest. If it is a 601 W&I charge, enter the description that indicates whether it is
runaway, incorrigible, truant, or curfew violation. If it is a 602 W&I charge, enter the specific offense
(e.g., 459 PC).
6. Do I need to specify the type of warrant?
It is necessary to identify the specific type of warrant served because each type is reported differently on
the MACR. The three types of warrants accepted in the MACR are bench warrant, traffic warrant, and
outside warrant. A bench warrant or traffic warrant is issued when a person “fails to appear” in court
37
on an original charge. All warrants that are issued for agencies other than your own are outside
warrants.
7. How do I report warrants?
A “local warrant” arrest is for the first time a defendant is arrested for a crime. Do not report “warrant
arrest;” record the charge only (e.g., 484 PC).
For bench warrants, traffic warrants, and outside (out of agency) warrants, do not record the original or
actual charge.
Bench warrants or traffic warrants are reported as follows:
Felony bench warrant: “B/W-Fel.”
Misdemeanor bench warrant: “B/W-Misd.”
Traffic warrant: “40508 VC”
Outside warrants are recorded as follows:
Felony: “O/W-Fel.”
Misdemeanor: “O/W-Misd.”
Disposition: “(2) Turned Over”
8. Do outside warrants always have a “turned over” disposition?
The disposition on outside warrants must be “(2) turned over” for juveniles and adults, since the agency
which issued the warrant reports the arrest.
9. How do I record a failure to appear for vehicle code offenses?
A traffic warrant is issued when a person fails to appear (40508 VC) for vehicle code offenses and is
reported as “40508 VC.” Do not report the original traffic offense.
10. How do I report a conspiracy crime?
If the conspiracy is reported with other charges, ignore the conspiracy charge. Use the hierarchy on the
remaining charges to determine the most serious charge to report.
38
11. I do not know the disposition to enter in the law enforcement disposition column.
This column is intended for the disposition of the agency reporting the arrest or citation. Record the
disposition taken with the charge, not with the person being arrested (e.g., “released” refers to the
charge being released, not the release of the suspect). Do not report the district attorney or court
disposition. Only one disposition is allowed per entry.
12. When are the MACR reports due?
Reports are required within ten (10) working days after the end of each calendar month; e.g., February
data is to be reported by the tenth working day in March.

APPENDIX 2
Glossary of Terms
Adult
A person 18 years of age or older.
Arrest
(California Penal Code Section 834)
“... taking a person into custody, in a case and in the manner authorized by law. An arrest may be made
by a peace officer or by a private person.”
(California Penal Code Section 835)
“An arrest is made by an actual restraint of the person, or by submission to the custody of an officer.
The person arrested may be subjected to such restraint as is reasonable for his arrest and detention.”
BCS Offense Code
Three-digit numeric code that groups similar statute codes into major offense group categories.
Book
An adult is actually booked into jail for any period of time or booked into jail and later released on a
citation or when a juvenile is booked into a juvenile holding facility of any type (an arrest report is
filled out).
Citation
A written order, issued by the police for a violation, to appear before a magistrate or probation officer at
a later date.
Delinquent
Those acts described under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 which involve violations by a
juvenile of any law or ordinance defining crime, or the violation of a court order of the juvenile court.
Department
A situation that has been handled within the department, e.g., settled by the arresting agency, no action
is to be taken by the juvenile probation department or the court, and the juvenile is released to his/her
parents, guardian, or the street with a warning. Also used when a juvenile is placed on a local diversion
program including, for statistical purposes, any juvenile deemed not arrested or cited.
40
Hierarchy
Assigned and used by the CJSC to prioritize statute codes from least to most severe in terms of
potential sentencing. The most serious charge has the lowest hierarchy number.
Juvenile
A person under the age of 18.
Juvenile Court
A juvenile that is referred to juvenile court or turned over to the probation department, welfare agency,
other police agency, criminal or adult court, or juvenile hall.
Law Enforcement Disposition
An action taken as the result of an arrest. Examples of police dispositions are: adults - charge is
released by law enforcement, referred to another jurisdiction, or a misdemeanor or felony complaint
sought; juveniles - handled within the department, referred to another agency, or referred to the
probation department or juvenile court.
Local Bench Warrant (Failure to Appear Warrant)
A warrant issued by the court for a defendant’s arrest because he/she has missed a scheduled court
appearance on an original charge.
Local Charge (local offense)
A violation of a charge committed within your jurisdiction. Includes California Statute Codes, Vehicle
Codes, local ordinances, county codes, and municipal codes.
Local Traffic Warrant
A warrant issued when a person fails to appear for vehicle code violations should be recorded as
“40508 VC.”
Local Warrant of Arrest
A warrant issued by the court for a crime committed within your jurisdiction, accusing the defendant
named and described. This is the first time the defendant is arrested for the crime.
Other
An adult makes bail on a warrant and is neither cited nor booked, or was detained for civil drunk
occurrences per 647(G) PC. Also used when juveniles are neither cited nor booked (e.g., detained only,
41
sent to a diversion program, referred to probation department, etc.). Use “other” when no arrest report
has been filled out.
Outside Warrant
Refers to OUT OF AGENCY warrants, not out of county warrants. This includes all warrants, bench
warrants, and traffic warrants issued for another agency.
Release
Each arrest released under 849(B) PC, or other sections, when no further action is planned by the
arresting agency. Refers to the release of the charge, not the person.
Status
The status column describes the type of apprehension at the time of initial contact with the arrestee. It
determines how many individuals are cited versus those actually delivered to jail.
Turned Over
Indicates the arresting agency has turned the matter over to another law enforcement agency for
prosecution.
