DPD Incidents (UCR NIBRS Reporting)

This data represents incident reports written to capture incidents of crime that are reported to law enforcement, based on the FBI’s UCR Program Data Collections for the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). Historical data is available back to 10/1/2018, before which the agency was using the Summary Reporting System (SRS). While the data collected is similar, it is not comparable across reporting systems. Available fields include: Case Number – Unique numerical identifier of the incident, which can be joined to the calls for service and arrests datasets. Report Date – The date when the crime occurred, or when it was reported to police, if the date of occurrence is not known. Report Time – The time when the crime occurred, or when it was reported to police, if the time of occurrence is not known. Status – The status of the case at the time the dataset was last updated. Sequence – All offenses per incident are reported in NIBRS. This is the sequence by order of severity. ATT/COM – Designation of whether the crime was attempted or committed. UCR Code – The FBI’s alphanumeric identifier for the type of crime being reported. Address – The block number and street or intersection of the incident. X – Mapping coordinate of the incident, projected as NC State Plane (feet). Y – Mapping coordinate of the incident, projected as NC State Plane (feet). District – The patrol district where the incident occurred. Beat – The patrol beat where the incident occurred, which is a sub-division of the district. Premise – The type of location where the incident took place. Weapon – The primary weapon used in violent crimes. Tract – The census tract where the incident occurred, based on 2010 census data. This dataset is updated annually. However, other resources for incident data are available and updated nightly, including the DPD Crime dataset on the City and County of Durham Open Data Portal and Community Crime Map web site by LexisNexis.
