NIBRS Two Day Training
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Training Instructors are pleased to announce the first session of our new condensed virtual training of the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) open to all states on April 8-9, 2025, from 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. Eastern Time.
This will be a free virtual NIBRS course on the Microsoft Teams platform. 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.
Registration is OPEN NOW and will close when the class reaches 275 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 8: NIBRS Fundamentals and Crimes Against Persons
- Wednesday, April 9: Crimes Against Property, Crimes Against Society, and Group B Offenses
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.
