The FBI reporting system includes the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for law enforcement data, the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) for detailed crime incidents, and the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) for public cybercrime complaints. [1, 2, 3]
Crime Data and Statistics Systems
- Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR): Collects overall crime and arrest numbers voluntarily provided by thousands of local, state, and federal law enforcement groups. [1]
- National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS): Captures deep details on individual crimes—such as location, time, weapon usage, and victim-offender relationships—serving as the modern national standard. [1, 2]
- Crime Data Explorer (CDE): Provides an online tool for the public and researchers to search, view, and download compiled UCR and NIBRS data. [1, 2]
Public Tip and Complaint Portals
- Electronic Tip Form: Allows people to securely report suspicious or criminal activities online via the FBI Tips Page.
- Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3): Functions as the primary intake platform for reporting online scams, cyber-enabled frauds, and digital identity theft. [1, 2, 3, 4]
