NIBRS reporting

NIBRS designed in, not exported after.

Most systems treat incident-based reporting as an export at the end of the month — and spend the next month fixing rejections. TenCode builds the NIBRS record as the report is written.

Entry

Validated as it’s written

Offense codes, victim and offender data and property segments are checked against FBI edit rules while the officer works.

Approval

Re-checked at review

Supervisors see outstanding NIBRS issues alongside the report, and can return it with notes before it ever leaves the agency.

Submission

Submitted clean

The canonical NIBRS record is serialized to NIEM NIBRS XML or the legacy flat-file format your state accepts.

State programs

Your state’s rules are configuration.

State NIBRS programs add their own codes and edits on top of the FBI specification. TenCode handles those variations as configuration, so a state change doesn’t wait for a software release.

  • NIEM NIBRS XML serialization alongside legacy flat-file output.
  • One source of truth — the NIBRS record is fed by the same linked people, property and offenses as the report.
  • Readiness at a glance — dashboards show which reports are ready to submit and which need attention.
