The FBI UCR Program started with the Summary Reporting System (SRS) method of
submitting crime statistic data; the SRS method remained virtually unchanged, other than adding
the Arson offense in 1979 and Human Trafficking Offenses in 2013. The National Incident-Based
Reporting System (NIBRS) was a result of a 1970s law enforcement study to improve crime
statistics with the guidelines and specifications developed and based on recommendations and
collaboration during the 1980s. A pilot was conducted during 1987 in South Carolina and at a
national UCR conference in early 1988; the consensus of attendees was that the FBI should
continue its efforts to implement NIBRS nationally. In February 2016, the FBI Director announced
that the FBI UCR Program would transition to a NIBRS-only data collection by January 1, 2021.
The Washington State UCR Program was activated in October 1979 and collection of the
monthly SRS data from contributing agencies began in January 1980. In December 2006,
Washington State was certified by the FBI to officially collect and submit NIBRS data. In January
2008, based on a 2007 advisory committee recommendation, the WASPC Executive Board made
the decision to set the goal date for Washington State law enforcement agencies to convert from
the SRS method to NIBRS by January 1, 2012. Due to a number of agencies involved in records
management system (RMS) upgrades and replacements during 2011, the Executive Board agreed
to grant extensions to agencies that could not meet January 2012 deadline. In September 2018,
we achieved our goal of 100% NIBRS participation by non-tribal law enforcement agencies.
Today, the Washington State UCR Program offers on-line data entry or batch file upload
and provides various reports necessary for statistical purposes in the criminal justice system. Data
for Crime in Washington 2022 were compiled from monthly NIBRS submissions by individual law
enforcement agencies throughout the State of Washington. As mentioned, the data included in
Crime Index
In the past, the Crime Index was used as a basic measure for comparing the extent of
crime among cities, counties, and states of similar size. The index was simply the total number of
certain offenses that occurred in a given area in a given calendar period. The offenses used in the
Crime Index were the SRS offenses of Murder, Rape, Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Burglary,
Larceny-Theft, Motor Vehicle Theft, and Arson.
In June 2004, the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services Division Advisory Policy Board
approved discontinuing the use of the Crime Index in the FBI UCR Program and its publications.
Because Washington State is no longer converting NIBRS data into SRS data for the purposes of
statewide statistical comparison, we discontinued using the “term” Crime Index as a measure to
depict incidence of crime beginning with the 2012 annual report.
Crime Rate
A crime rate is based on a specific crime category, such as Crime Against Persons, Crime
Against Property, or Crime Against Society, or specific crime grouping, such as violent crimes. The
category or grouping is adjusted for variances in population by indicating the number of offenses
for each 1,000 persons (other base population increments may be used such as the number of
offenses per 100,000).
To calculate the crime rate, first divide the population of the area by 1,000, then divide the
crime category or grouping by that answer. For example, if a city has a population of 273,000 and
a crime category of 21,257, the calculations would be:
1. 273,000 divided by 1,000 = 273.0
2. 21,257 divided by 273.0 = 77.86
Thus, although a city's crime category is 21,257, its crime rate (the number of crimes for each
1,000 people) is 77.86.
Classification of Offenses
All offenses are classified on the basis of law enforcement investigation in accordance with
national UCR offense definitions and are not necessarily identical to the Revised Code of
NIBRS divides offenses into two (2) categories designated as Group A - Incident and Group
B - Arrest Only. The Group A offenses collected in the NIBRS program are: Animal Cruelty, Arson,
Assault Offenses, Bribery, Burglary, Counterfeiting/Forgery, Destruction/Damage/Vandalism of
Property, Drug/Narcotic Offenses, Embezzlement, Extortion/Blackmail, Fraud Offenses, Gambling
Offenses, Homicide Offenses, Human Trafficking Offenses, Kidnapping/Abduction, Larceny/Theft
Offenses, Motor Vehicle Theft, Pornography/Obscene Material Offenses, Prostitution Offenses,
Robbery, Sex Offenses, Non-Forcible Sex Offenses, Stolen Property Offenses, and Weapon Law
Violations; in Washington State, an additional Group A offense is collected: Violation of No
Contact/Protection/Anti-Harassment Order. Group A offenses include statistical data on the
incident, up to ten offenses, property involved, weapons involved, victim and offender
demographics, arrest information, and clearance status.
Group B offenses, for which only arrest data are collected, include: Bad Checks;
Curfew/Loitering/Vagrancy Violations; Disorderly Conduct; Driving Under the Influence;
Drunkenness; Non-Violent Family Offenses; Liquor Law Violations; Peeping Tom; Trespass of Real
Property; and All Other Non-Traffic Offenses.
Counting Offenses
All crimes committed within the same incident by the same person or group of persons,
without a significant time or space interval separating them, are reported in NIBRS - a hierarchy
rule does not exist in NIBRS as it did in SRS. For example, if a Rape case involves crimes of
Motor Vehicle Theft and Kidnapping, all crimes are reported. However, if a crime is an inherent
part of another crime, only one crime may be appropriately reported. For example, Larceny is
inherent in the crime of Burglary and would not be reported as a separate crime in the incident;
however, if the suspect, upon leaving the residence, takes items outside the structure, Larceny
would be reported as a second crime. As another example, Assault is an element in Robbery and
would not be reported as a crime separately from the Robbery; however, if the suspect forces the
victim to engage in a sexual act, both a Robbery and a Sex Offense would be reported because a
forced sexual act is not an element of Robbery.
For statistical counting purposes, one offense is counted for each victim of a Crime Against
Arrests
In NIBRS, the law enforcement agencies collect detailed data elements related to incidents
and arrests. The Group A - Incident Reports are comprised of segments (Administrative, Offense,
Property, Victim, Offender, and Arrestee) and within the segments are multiple data elements
identifying the incident, such as originating agency identifier (ORI), incident number, date, location,
offense, demographics, and other relevant segment categories. Therefore, unlike SRS, the NIBRS
arrests and clearances can be submitted as updates to the Group A - Incidents reported.
Clearances
In NIBRS, clearances are on the incident-level rather than the offense-level. If one offense
within an incident is cleared, all offenses in that incident are cleared. Likewise, the arrest of one
offender in an incident will clear it even if other offenders have not been arrested yet. Clearances
by arrest are automatically created when an Arrest Segment is submitted with a Group A - Incident.
An incident cannot be cleared exceptionally if there has been an arrest reported.
When reviewing the number of clearances, it is important to remember that a clearance can
be by “arrest” or by “exceptional means” and could possibly be for an offense in a prior year. The
number does not reflect the number of persons arrested in an offense. Also, in UCR terminology,
a clearance does not include a case for which the law enforcement agency could not proceed with
an investigation due to an uncooperative or unavailable witness or victim.
Individuals using the tabulations in the Crime in Washington 2022 are cautioned against
drawing conclusions by making direct comparisons between cities and/or counties due to the
existence of numerous factors which affect the amount and type of crime from place to place. It is
important to remember crime is a social problem and therefore, a concern of the entire community.
The efforts of law enforcement are limited to factors within its control.
When compiled and evaluated, the data available in the Crime in Washington 2022 can
be utilized to:
1. Identify the number of crimes reported by contributing agencies.
2. Identify the geographical distribution of reported offenses.
3. Determine whether or not reported crimes have increased or decreased.
4. Determine the number of clearances and the clearance rate for reported offenses.
5. Determine the reported number of arrests by offense, age, sex, and race.
6. Determine the number of law enforcement officers assaulted and killed.
7. Determine the number of commissioned (sworn) and civilian law enforcement employees
by gender.
8. Determine the rate per population group of commissioned (sworn) and civilian law
enforcement employees.
There are Washington State statutes requiring submission of crime data to the WASPC
CJIS Department, such as domestic violence crime reporting pursuant to RCW 10.99.035 and hate
crime reporting pursuant to RCW 36.28A.030. In addition, there are state funding opportunities
and programs tied to crime statistic reporting. For example, RCW 82.14.310 for counties and RCW
82.14.320 for municipalities define the criminal justice assistance accounts and the use of crime
Timely UCR submission to the WASPC CJIS Department is a requirement for the agency
accreditation program in Washington State - Chapter 5, Standard 5.12. Some grant opportunities
from federal agencies depend on crime statistics as well. For example, the funding eligibility and
calculations for award allocation under the federal Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance
Grant (JAG) Program are based on the violent crime reported to the FBI UCR Program.

Domestic Violence
Domestic violence (DV) crime statistics are collected as mandated by the Washington State
statute (RCW 10.99.035). These are not separate offenses from those collected in the State UCR
Program but because of the nature of the relationship between the victim(s) and offender(s)
involved, an offense may include a DV indicator. The DV data element is collected on Crimes
Against Persons and Crimes Against Property; however, the indicator is not forwarded to the FBI.
Hate Crime
Washington State statute (RCW 36.28A.030) mandates the collection of information related
to hate crime and any other crimes of bigotry or bias apparently directed against victims perceived
to be of a particular race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation,
gender expression or identity, or mental, physical, or sensory disability. Like domestic violence
offenses, “hate crimes” are not distinct, separate offenses but are traditional offenses motivated in
whole, or in part, by the offender's bias. Data collected with the hate crime indicator are forwarded
to the FBI.

The crime clock should be viewed with care. Being the most aggregate representation of the NIBRS data, it is designed to convey the
annual reported crime experience by showing the relative frequency of occurrence of Group “A” offenses. This mode of display should
not be taken to imply regularity in the commission of the offenses; rather, it represents the annual ratio of crime fixed time intervals.
