Use of Force Data Collection Training

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Training Instructors are pleased to announce a virtual training of the National Use-of-Force Data Collection on:

Tuesday, June 24, 2025 from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. EST (1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. CST)

This will be a free virtual course on the Microsoft Teams platform. Training will include a brief history and overview of the data collection and a live demonstration of the submission portal.

Registration is OPEN NOW and will close at 11:45 p.m. on June 20 or when the class reaches 275 participants. 

We 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 this training will receive a certificate of completion.
