NIBRS COMPLIANCE / TRANSCRIPTION UNIT

The National Incident-Based

Reporting System (NIBRS) Unit is

currently staffed by two full-time

employees and one part-time clerk.

The part-time Clerk is primarily responsible for the transcription, and the Chief

Records Clerk oversees these employees who report directly to the Inspectional

Services Captain.

The Data Entry Transcriptionists / NIBRS Unit's primary responsibility is transcribing

reports into the department’s computer system via the dictating system or any other

recording media, reviewing the reports to assure their compliance with national, state,

and local Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR), National Incident-Based Reporting System

(NIBRS), and compiling applicable statistics as required by state and federal laws. This

unit also works with the Network manager to resolve Information Management

Corporation (I.M.C.) issues related to police reporting methods.
