AR NIBRS Program

ACIC was created to assist law enforcement agencies in the war against crime. One way this is done is by identifying when and where crimes occur, as well as the characteristics of suspects and victims. The traditional Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program was not designed to collect or portray these details. Therefore, in its place is a program called the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS). It is being strongly encouraged by the FBI and other organizations nationwide. It produces the additional details needed by local agencies for budget justifications, grant proposals, and setting local agency priorities.

This section is dedicated to assisting local law enforcement in the transition to incident based reporting. Any comments or questions should be forwarded to ACIC at (501) 682-2222.

The following information and manuals are available for download.
