8 <br /> <br />CRIME REPORTING <br /> <br />The Lino Lakes Police Department participates in the FBI’s National Incident-Based Reporting <br />System (NIBRS) to calculate and report crime statistics. NIBRS was developed to provide a more <br />detailed and comprehensive view of crime compared to the traditional Uniform Crime Reporting <br />(UCR) system. <br /> <br />The previously used UCR system only captured the most serious offense committed during an <br />incident, while NIBRS records all distinct offenses that occur during a single incident and includes a <br />broader range of offense types. As a result, one incident may have multiple offenses associated with <br />the incident. <br /> <br />Under NIBRS, offenses are categorized into two groups: Group A and Group B. Group A offenses are <br />classified into one of three categories: Crimes Against Persons, Crimes Against Property, or Crimes <br />Against Society. These classifications encompass 24 Group A offense categories (e.g., Assault <br />Offenses), which are further broken down into 52 specific offense types (e.g., Aggravated Assault, <br />Simple Assault, Intimidation). There are 10 Group B offenses which only reflect arrest data for <br />specific crime types. See the table below for examples. <br /> <br /> <br />GROUP A - EXAMPLES <br />Crime <br />Against <br />Person <br />Offense Category Offense Type <br /> Assault Offenses  Aggravated Assault <br /> Simple Assault <br /> Intimidation <br />Crime <br />Against <br />Property <br /> Fraud Offenses  Credit Card Fraud <br /> Identity Theft <br /> Hacking/Computer Invasion <br />Crime <br />Against <br />Society <br /> Drug Narcotic Offenses  Drug/Narcotic Violations <br /> Drug Equipment Violations <br /> Prostitution Offenses  Prostitution <br /> Assisting or Promoting Prostitution <br /> <br />GROUP B – ARREST TYPES <br />Arrest Data <br />for Targeted <br />Offenses <br />1. Bad checks <br />2. Curfew/loitering/vagrancy <br />violations <br />3. Disorderly conduct <br />4. Driving under the influence <br />5. Drunkenness <br />6. Family offense, nonviolent <br />7. Liquor law violations <br />8. Peeping tom <br />9. Trespass of real property <br />10. All other offenses <br /> <br /> <br />The data presented in this report reflects a snapshot in time based on when the analytical reports <br />were generated. These figures may change due to updates to incident dispositions, the addition of <br />new reports, or corrections to offense codes. While minor fluctuations may occur, the data remains <br />reliable and sufficiently accurate for illustrating criminal offenses in Lino Lakes. <br /> <br />Page 18 of 52
