ID Records Taskforce
The Association of Transportation Safety Information Professionals have created a taskforce to identify potential challenges regarding state reporting of impaired driving arrest records to the FBI UCR/NIBRS systems.
The FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program has been providing crime statistics since 1930. Currently, the UCR program includes data from more than 18,000 city, university and college, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies.
The objective of the Uniform Crime Reporting program is to produce reliable crime statistics for law enforcement administration, operation, and management, students of criminal justice, researchers, the media, and the public. Recently, the National Incident-Based Reporting System, or NIBRS, has been implemented to improve the overall quality of crime data collected by law enforcement. In 2021, the historic Summary Reporting System (SRS) data collection, which collected more limited information than the more robust NIBRS, was phased out.
Often, the UCR SRS impaired driving arrests data reported by States has been under-reported or incomplete. For this reason, ATSIP, has developed a task force to understand how States report impaired-driving arrests to these systems. The objective of the task force is to identify potential challenges preventing States from reporting impaired driving arrest information to the former UCR SRS and current NIBRS system and to provide guidance for States to overcome these challenges.
SURVEY
Below is a link to a survey developed by the task force to collect general information on impaired driving arrest data reporting to these databases. We encourage you to please participate in this survey. If you feel that you are not the appropriate person to participate, please forward this survey to the appropriate person, or email the contact information of the person who is best suited to answer these questions to TaraED@ATSIP.org.
