On January 1, 2016, the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) started collecting data on animal cruelty incidents under its National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). Since animal control officers (ACOs) and humane law enforcement (HLE) officers are the first responders to many, if not most, incidents of animal neglect and cruelty, this professional community must play a key role in ensuring accurate and comprehensive reporting of animal cruelty crimes.

The Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) in partnership with the National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA) developed the NIBRS User Manual for Animal Control Officers and Humane Law Enforcementto ensure ACOs and HLE are aware of and fully equipped for their new and critical role in reporting animal cruelty incidents to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Prior to the creation of the NIBRS animal cruelty category in 2016, ACOs and HLE were not NIBRS reporters.

Written by former NACA Vice-President, Daniel DeSousa (San Diego County Department Animal Services), this manual helps bring HLE and animal control agencies into the NIBRS reporting system.
In addition to providing an introduction to the NIBRS animal cruelty incident report and guidance on reporting, the manual contains:
- a reporting form, developed in cooperation with the FBI, compatible with the NIBRS reporting system requirements;
- a template for a memorandum of understanding that can be used to formalize relationships between the animal control, or HLE agency, and the local police department for sharing data on animal cruelty incidents; and
- a map of current NIBRS participation states (as of February 7, 2016).

National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) Statistics
The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), implemented to improve the overall quality of crime data collected by law enforcement, captures details on each single crime incident—as well as on separate offenses within the same incident—including information on victims, known offenders, relationships between victims and offenders, arrestees, and property involved in the crimes.
Unlike data reported through UCR’s traditional Summary System—an aggregate monthly tally of crimes— NIBRS data goes much deeper because of its ability to provide circumstances and context for crimes. It includes all offenses within a single incident and additional aspects about each event, like location, time of day, and whether the incident was cleared. More information about crime data reported under NIBRS can be found within the FBI’s National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) User Manual.

Ultimately, NIBRS will improve the detail and overall quality of crime data, which will help law enforcement and communities around the country use resources more strategically and effectively.
