* Effective January 1st , 2023, the Riverside
Police Dept. transitioned from the Uniform
Crime Reporting (UCR) system to
the National Incident Based Reporting
System (NIBRS). This State mandated
reporting requirement through the Dept.
of Justice (DOJ) dictates the methodology
and criteria which Law Enforcement
Agencies report crime incidents to State
and Federal governing bodies.
The key change in this requirement under
NIBRS is the reporting of multiple crimes
that may occur at a single incident unlike
previous UCR reporting standards that
only captured the most significant crime.
