NIBRS Two Day Training - April

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Training Instructors are pleased to announce another session of our virtual training of the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) open to all states on April 7 - 8, 2026, from 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. Eastern Time. 

This will be a free virtual NIBRS course on the Microsoft Teams platform and will be available to law enforcement personnel representing state, county, city, university and college, and tribal agencies. Training will include NIBRS Fundamentals, detailed instructions on classifying Group A offenses (Crimes Against Persons, Crimes Against Property, Crimes Against Society), Group B offenses, and practice scenarios. Data elements will not be included in this 2-day training.

We ask that UCR State Programs handle sending this information to any/all agencies you would like to participate. When disseminating to agencies, please be sure to include the registration link below.  Registration will open at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 9 and will close when the class reaches 290 participants.  It has been our experience that class reaches maximum capacity very quickly, often within hours.  We advise to register as soon as possible.   

Instruction will be a total of 8 hours over a two-day span with a 30-minute lunch each day. Participants must attend both days of training to receive a completion certificate. The tentative agenda for the course is as follows:   

• Tuesday, April 7:  NIBRS Fundamentals, Crimes Against Persons, Crimes Against Property
• Wednesday, April 8:  Crimes Against Property (cont’d), Crimes Against Society, and Group B Offenses   

REGISTRATION   

Registration will open at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 9, 2026, and will close at 11:45 p.m. on April 2^nd or when class reaches maximum capacity.   
Space is limited to 290 individual logins on a first-come, first-served basis.
An informational flyer with registration information is attached.
We will contact participants soon after registration closes to confirm registration.

We highly recommend that agencies share a single login/computer, when possible, to allow for more registrants.  If sharing a single login, only one person from a group will need to register and serve as the primary registrant. There is no FBI limit to the number of participants who may view the training from a shared login.  For example, multiple participants may view the training in a conference room on a shared screen and would only need to register one person.  All participants who attend both days of NIBRS training will receive a certificate of completion.
