6 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
This book was published in an effort to help law enforcement better understand KIBRS reporting guidelines and
the subtle nuances that go along with it. This book is designed for KIBRS reporting guidelines only
. Your local
prosecutor may want reports differently. That does not make one right and one wrong; just different. As such,
separate reports for KIBRS and prosecutors may need to be submitted in some cases.
Please look through this document, take the knowledge it offers, and use it as a guide to incident based reporting.
Questions will arise and should be directed to the KIBRS Section of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
While it is virtually impossible to include every scenario you will encounter, we have attempted to show the
versatility of Uniform Crime Reporting.
Any future updates to this handbook will be accompanied by a change document to show the evolution of all
modifications. Suggestions for future updates can be forwarded to the IBR Section.

WHY PARTICIPATE?
Incident Based Reporting offers a unique tool to law enforcement. IBR reports are designed to reflect the true
nature of the crime by keeping reporting uniform across the state regardless of agency differences and
prosecution amendments. While the Kansas Criminal Rapsheet offers information regarding an individual, the
IBR databases can offer even more information.
In law enforcement, information is a currency: you can never have too much.
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 7
These forms are designed for multiple purposes and allow the agency to use the same form for
prosecutors, the KBI, and their own local needs. However, this does not mean prosecutors will
want the same information as is needed by KIBRS. This handbook is designed to explain
the requirements of incident based reporting. There may be times when reports will need
to be submitted differently to a prosecutor than to KIBRS. By participating in NIBRS, the
KBI has agreed to follow the guidelines established by the FBI for national reporting.
The collection of crime data in Kansas began in the mid-1970’s after legislation was passed (Kansas State Statutes
21-2501a and 21-2504) authorizing the Attorney General to collect information necessary to determine the true
condition of crime in Kansas. The Attorney General assigned the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) to establish a
statewide program for the collection of Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) data for submission to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI). Subsequent activities resulted in nearly 100% coverage of the state and timely reporting to the
FBI’s UCR Program by 1978.
In 1982, the KBI, with the aid of a local law enforcement user’s group, began to study the usefulness of establishing an
Incident Based Reporting (IBR) system in Kansas. As a result, in 1986, the first Kansas Incident Based Reporting
System (KIBRS) was implemented to collect relevant information on the occurrence and composition of crime in
Kansas. Pursuant to state statute, law enforcement agencies at state and local levels began reporting standardized data
on criminal offenses in their respective jurisdictions using a format approved by the Attorney General. The state
program then converted the data to UCR format for submission to the FBI.
Throughout its first 60 years of operation, the FBI’s UCR Program remained virtually unchanged in terms of the data
collected and disseminated. As time progressed a broad utility evolved for UCR data. This allowed law enforcement to
expand its capabilities to supply crime information. In the late-1970’s, the law enforcement community called for a
thorough evaluative study of UCR with the objective of recommending an expanded and enhanced UCR program to
meet law enforcement needs into the 21st century. The result was the implementation, in 1988, of the National Incident
Based Reporting System (NIBRS).
In 1991, the KBI, with the aid of a second local law enforcement user’s group, began a comparative study of KIBRS
against NIBRS. As a result, in 1993 the KBI implemented a new KIBRS program meeting the requirements of NIBRS.
This resulted in new standardized forms and created formats for reporting data to the KBI electronically.
With the arrival of incident based reporting, offense and arrest reports are now being used for much more than annual
statistics. The expansion of data fields that are collected will assist Kansas in moving into the future by using these
reports to assist in criminal investigations. In addition, IBR data will offer:
(1) More detailed, accurate, and meaningful data than produced by the traditional summary UCR Program;
(2) Common denominator links among agencies both statewide and nationally;
(3) Extensive, specific crime information concerning similar jurisdictions, allowing the identification of common crime
problems or trends;
(4) Statistics to enable law enforcement agencies to supply a better accounting of their activities to their governing
bodies:
(5) Legislators, municipal planners / administrators, academicians, penologists, sociologists, and the general public the
ability to better assess the state’s crime problems using the extensive data supplied through KIBRS;
(6) Availability of KIBRS data through the Kansas Criminal Justice Information System (KCJIS) web-server.
(7) Information necessary to acquire funding from grants to combat crime for a law enforcement agency.
(8) Development of investigative tools to assist law enforcement agencies as they examine cases, leads and other
investigations. KIBRS Views and the FBI’s National Data Exchange (N-DEX) are two examples of this type of
tool.
2. HISTORY / INTRODUCTION
8 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
3. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND POLICIES
The reporting of crime data in Kansas is mandated in three state statutes. Other policies govern the release of information
and jurisdictional guidelines.
DATA SUBMISSION
Kansas Statutes Annotated (K.S.A.) 21-2501a governing the maintenance of records was enacted in 1969; K.S.A. 21-2504
enacted in 1939 and amended in 1977 allows the Attorney General to call for crime information. These are two of the state
statutes creating the mandatory requirements for reporting in Kansas. In 2006, language was added by the Kansas
Legislature that requires uniform reporting of meth lab seizures and thefts of anhydrous ammonia. Both statutes call for
use of forms approved by the Attorney General of Kansas. (See box below.)
21-2501a
Chapter 21.—CRIMES AND PUNISHMENTS
Article 25.—IDENTIFICATION AND DETECTION OF CRIMES AND CRIMINALS
21-2501a. Maintenance of records of felony and misdemeanor offenses by law enforcement agencies; reporting of meth
lab seizures or dump sites, theft of anhydrous ammonia; reports to Bureau of Investigation; form. (a) All law enforcement
agencies having responsibility for law enforcement in any political subdivision of this state, on forms approved by the attorney
general, shall maintain a permanent record of all felony and misdemeanor offenses reported or known to have been committed
within their respective jurisdictions. (b) All law enforcement agencies having the responsibility of maintaining a permanent
record of offenses shall file with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, on a form approved by the Attorney General, a report on
each offense for which a permanent record is required within 72 hours after such offense is reported or known to have been
committed. (c) It is hereby made the duty of every sheriff, police department or countywide law enforcement agency in the state
to report within 30 days, on forms approved by the Attorney General, any methamphetamine laboratory seizures or dump sites
and any theft or attempted theft of anhydrous ammonia that occurs in such agency’s jurisdiction.
21-2504
Chapter 21.—CRIMES AND PUNISHMENTS
Article 25.—IDENTIFICATION AND DETECTION OF CRIMES AND CRIMINALS
21-2504. Attorney General may call upon designated officers for information; forms. (a) For the purpose of controlling
crime and obtaining reliable statistics about crime and criminals, the Attorney General may call upon and obtain from the clerks
of district courts, sheriffs, police departments and county attorneys all information that said attorney general may deem
necessary in ascertaining the true condition of the crime situation; and it shall be the duty of the above-mentioned officers to
furnish the information so requested by the attorney general. (b) The Attorney General shall provide, upon request, forms for
fingerprint impressions, for the permanent record of offenses, and for the reports of offenses required by K.S.A. 21-2501 and 21-
2501a.
22-2307
Chapter 22.—
CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
Article 23.—PRELIMINARY PROCEEDINGS
222307.DomesticviolencecallsSec. 11. K.S.A. 22-2307, as amended by section 8 of chapter 101 of the
2010 Session Laws of Kansas, is hereby amended to read as follows:
22-2307. (a) All law enforcement agencies in this state shall adopt written policies regarding domestic violence calls as provided
in subsection (b). These policies shall be made available to all officers of such agency. (b) Such written policies shall include,
but not be limited to, the following: (1) A statement directing that when a law enforcement officer determines that there is
probable cause to believe that a crime or offense involving domestic violence, as defined in section 11 of chapter 136 of the
2010 Session Laws of Kansas, and amendments thereto, has been committed, the officer shall, without undue delay, arrest the
person for which the officer has probable cause to believe committed the crime or offense if such person’s actions were not an
act of defense of a person or property as provided in section 21, section 22, section 23, section 28 or section 29 of chapter…..
(11) whether an arrest is made or not, a standard offense report shall be completed on all such incidents and sent to the Kansas
bureau of investigation.
State Approved Forms
When selecting a record management system the local agency should make certain their vendor is aware of this requirement.
Agencies submitting electronic data MUST have the ability to print reports on an approved form in order to be certified.
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 9
Domestic Violence Tips
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Occurrences of domestic violence are tracked through KIBRS. K.S.A. 22-2307 and 22-2308 require all law enforcement agencies to
have written policies regarding domestic violence that include a statement of policy which requires law enforcement officers to make
an arrest when they have probable cause. For KIBRS purposes
, domestic violence should be defined as any harmful physical contact
or threat thereof, or destruction of property between associated individuals or formerly associated individuals, used as a method of
coercion, control, revenge or punishment.
Review House Bill 2517 which includes much more information than listed here.
(A) “Dating relationship” is defined as a social relationship of a romantic nature. A dating relationship shall be
presumed if a plaintiff verifies, pursuant to K.S.A. 53-601, and amendments thereto, that such relationship exists.
In addition to any other factors the court deems relevant, the court shall consider the following factors in making a
determination of whether a relationship exists or existed:
(1) nature of the relationship;
(2) length of time the relationship existed;
(3) frequency of interaction between the parties; and
(4) time since termination of the relationship, if applicable.
(B) ‘‘Family or household member’’ means persons 18 years of age or older who are spouses, former spouses,
parents or stepparents and children or stepchildren, and persons who are presently residing together or
have resided together in the past, and persons who have a child in common regardless of whether they have been
married or have lived together at any time. Family or household member also includes a man and woman
if the woman is pregnant and the man is alleged to be the father, regardless of whether they have been married or
have lived together at any time. Note: this does exclude siblings and juveniles.
The requirement to submit reports on domestic violence is mandated in K.S.A. 22-2307 which specifies in
paragraph (11) “whether an arrest is made or not, a standard offense report shall be completed on all
such incidents
and sent to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.” The KSOR will document the origin and nature of the call,
disposition of the parties involved, and all circumstances surrounding the incident, including the presence of
children. A KSAR is also submitted when an arrest is made.
1) “Domestic Violence with Children Present” means a child under the age of 18 (and not
the victim or suspect) was present
during this incident. They do not have to have been in the same room, just present.
2) The Incident Activity section must be completed even if the domestic battery statute is listed as the offense. KIBRS does not
recognize an incident as DV without the appropriate Incident Activity Code.
Required on All Domestic Violence Reports
Victim and Suspect must both be known individuals.
Victim data must include Race, Sex, Ethnicity, Resident / Non-Resident, and either Age or DOB.
Incidents that are reported as aggravated assault or homicide must indicate a valid circumstance code.
Victim to Suspect relationship required for all victims to all suspects (even if not related).
Type of injury to victim required. (If no injury is inflicted then report “N” = none.)
Incident activity on method of operation section needs to be marked DV or DV with Children Present.
Suspect data must include Race, Sex, Ethnicity, Resident / Non-Resident, and either Age or DOB.
10 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
PUBLIC RELEASE OF OFFENSE AND ARREST DATA
3) For KIBRS purposes, if a single offense within an incident is determined to be domestic, the entire incident
becomes domestic.
4) If a suspect is thought to have been under the influence of alcohol or drugs, this should be noted under the
“Offender Suspected of Using” section.
5) When reporting a Group B offense that is determined to be domestic violence, an offense report must also
be completed with the appropriate victim and suspect information.
Records open to the public are found in the Kansas Open Records Act, in K.S.A. 45-215 et seq. Any
law enforcement agency which releases the Kansas Standard Offense Report (KSOR) information
should comply with these provisions.
The Attorney General of the state of Kansas has opined that Page One of the KSOR, which contains the name of the
victim, is an open public record and released in accordance with Kansas law (A.G. Opinion 87-25). However, victim-
specific or other identifying information being reported as the result of a sex offense shall be closed by the reporting law
enforcement agency. Disclosure of such information is an invasion of personal privacy (A.G. Opinion 92-149). Social
security numbers must be redacted from the KSOR by the reporting law enforcement agency for the same reason (A.G.
Opinion 98-38).
The Attorney General has also advised that Kansas Standard Arrest Reports (KSAR) are mandatorily closed (A.G.
Opinion 98-38). However, police blotters are public, and if arrest information is not included in a blotter, the law
enforcement agency is under an obligation to provide blotter type information for the arrest. This would consist of: the
name, address, age, sex, date, time and place of arrest, and the offense for which the person is arrested.
There are many codes associated with the KSOR and KSAR; many agencies have a sheet identifying the KIBRS specific
codes. Attorney General Opinion 93-9 states the code sheet is a public record that must be disclosed by law enforcement
agencies upon request.
Pursuant to K.S.A. 38-2209 through 38-2213, records and reports concerning child abuse or neglect received by SRS or
law enforcement agencies are confidential, and shall be kept separate and shall not be disclosed except under limited
circumstances. As a Child In Need of Care incident, the information concerning the reported abuse or neglect is
confidential, however once criminal proceedings are initiated, information concerning the alleged perpetrator, the victim
and, possibly, the reporting party may become available through the criminal process.
KIBRS reporting requirements mandate that almost all victim information be reported. This
includes juveniles. If this is
a concern to your agency, it is recommended that information regarding this individual be included in the brief narrative
section on page 2 of the KSOR. This will allow data entry staff at the KBI or in a local agency’s records department to
enter the necessary information.
An agency can redact informants, “narcs”, from the KSOR released to the public.
Victims of domestic violence, sex offenses, stalking, and protection from abuse are not required to be released to
the public. In such cases, an agency may redact the victim and location of offense information.
Victims participating in the Safe at Home program use substitute addresses on all records instead of the residential
address. Do not release the residential address for these victims. Visit www.kssos.org/safeathome for more.
Offense and arrest reports submitted to the Incident Based Reporting Section of the KBI are not released to
the public. Public request for copies of the KSOR or KSAR are referred to the originating agency.
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 11
Details concerning arrestees should be reported on a Kansas Standard Arrest Report (KSAR). In
many cases, arrests are not made at the same time as the initial KSOR. For this reason, please do not
refer to one report or the other when referencing suspect / offender information. (DO NOT USE
“See KSAR” when reporting suspect information on KSOR)
Sometimes applications for warrants are made without the police being notified of the details of the crime. When a
“Bench Warrant” is issued, the information regarding the offenses should be obtained and reported on a KSOR.
Jurisdictional Reporting Rules
Throughout the nation there are thousands of law enforcement agencies, some of which have overlapping
jurisdictions.
To be certain that data is not reported more than once by overlapping jurisdictions, the following guidelines
have been developed:
1. Police and county law enforcement agencies submit reports for incidents reported to their respective
organizations.
2. State law enforcement agencies, such as the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the Kansas Department of
Wildlife and Parks, and the Kansas Highway Patrol are responsible for preparing and forwarding a Kansas
Standard Offense Report (KSOR), and, when an arrest is made, a summons or citation is issued, a Kansas
Standard Arrest Report (KSAR) to the KIBRS Section of the KBI whenever they initiate or take the lead
in an investigation.
3. Federal agencies report offenses within their investigative jurisdictions only when they are not being
reported by a local / state law enforcement agency.
4. When two or more Federal, state, or local agencies are involved in the investigation of the same offense
there should be a written or oral agreement defining the roles of the investigating agencies, including
which agency will report the offense.
5. Law Enforcement agencies should report ONLY those arrests made for offenses reported by their
respective organizations. If an arrest is made by an agency other than the agency reporting the initial
offense, it should be recorded as an outside assist and the paperwork forwarded to the agency who
initiated the offense report. This also applies to warrant arrests.
6. Likewise, the recovery of property is reported only by the agency that first reported it missing and/or
stolen, regardless of what agency recovered it.
ORI + KSAR = Clearance
As stated above, it is extremely important for the same agency that reported the offense to
report the subsequent arrest.
When calculating clearance and arrest rates it is necessary to compare case numbers from the
KSOR and KSAR. Since many agencies use similar case numbers, we must also factor in the
Agency ORI to get a more accurate clearance rate.
If a local police department reports a homicide offense and the county sheriff’s office reports
the subsequent arrest it will be impossible for either the KBI or FBI to clear this case.
12 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
DEFINITION OF AN “INCIDENT”
An “incident” is defined for KIBRS reporting purposes as one or more offenses committed by the same offender, or group
of offenders, acting in concert
; at the same time and place.
“Acting in Concert” requires that the offenders actually commit or assist in the commission of the crime(s).
The offenders must be aware of, and consent to, the commission of the crime(s). Consent is implied if their
actions assist in the commission of the offense(s). This is important because all of the offenders in an
incident are considered to have committed all of the offenses within the incident. If one or more of the
offenders did not act in concert, there is more than one incident involved.
“Same time and place” means that the time interval between the offenses and the distance between the
locations where they occurred were insignificant. Normally, the offenses must have occurred during an
unbroken time duration and at the same
or adjoining location(s). However, incidents can also be
comprised of offenses that by their nature involve continuing criminal activity by the same offender(s) at
different times, as long as the activity is deemed to constitute a single criminal transaction. This is
commonly referred to as the “embezzlement exception”. These incidents will almost always occur at the
same location.
Example (1): Two offenders robbed a bar. The bartender was forced at gunpoint to surrender money from the
cash register. The robbers also took money and jewelry from three customers. One of the robbers, in searching
for more customers to rob, found a female customer in the restroom and raped her outside the view of the other
offender. When the rapist returned, both robbers left. There were two incidents, one involving robbery and the
other involving forcible rape, because the offenders weren’t “acting in concert” in both offenses.
Example (2): Same situation as Example (1), except that the rape occurred in the bar area and the other offender
told the rapist to stop and only rob the victim. There was only one incident with two offenses, i.e., robbery and
forcible rape. Although the other robber did not consent to the rape, by displaying a gun he prevented someone
from coming to the victim’s assistance and thereby assisted in the commission of the crime.
Example (3): Over a period of 18 months, a computer programmer working for a bank manipulated the bank’s
computer and systematically embezzled $70,000. The continuing criminal activity constituted a single “incident”
involving the crime of embezzlement.
Example (4): Over a period of 3 weeks, a suspect forged twelve checks at six different locations. Because each
forgery constitutes a separate criminal transaction, there are twelve incidents, each involving forgery and theft
but at different locations, at different times, and with different victims of the theft.
Example (5): A couple are involved in a domestic disturbance. When the officer arrives, it is determined that both
husband and wife had committed battery against the other and subsequently both are arrested. Since they were
acting in concert and it occurred at the same time and place, only one incident should be reported with each
individual listed as both a victim and a suspect.
When counting crimes remember an incident may contain more than one offense.
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 13
CLASSIFYING OFFENSES
In the reporting of data to the state it is first necessary to classify appropriate offenses within an incident as defined by the
National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS). This practice ensures that offenses with different titles under state and
local laws or United States Titles and Statutes are considered and appropriately counted at the national level. All criminal
offenses of law will be classified as either Group A or Group B in KIBRS. Both incidents and arrests are to be reported for
Group A offenses, while only arrests are required for Group B offenses.
When reporting a Group B offense within a domestic violence incident an offense report (KSOR) must
also be submitted.
Each of the Group A offenses included in KIBRS was selected based on the following criteria:
(1) The seriousness or significance of the offense;
(2) Whether law enforcement is the best channel for collecting data on the offense;
(3) The national statistical validity and usefulness of the collected data;
Law enforcement should classify and report offenses after preliminary confirmation that a crime was,
in fact, committed. Offenses known to law enforcement
are to be recorded, not findings of a
court, coroner, jury, or decision of a prosecutor since crime statistics generated from KIBRS are
intended to assist in identifying law enforcement issues.
CRIMES AGAINST PERSONS / PROPERTY / SOCIETY
KIBRS offenses are divided into three categories:
(1) “Crimes Against Persons” are those whose victims are always, Individuals,” e.g., murder, forcible rape, assault. In the
electronic version of this document Crimes Against Persons have a red heading.
(2) “Crimes Against Property” are committed to obtain money, property, or some other benefit, e.g., robbery, bribery,
burglary. In the electronic version of this document Crimes Against Property have a yellow heading.
(3) “Crimes Against Society” represent society’s prohibition against engaging in certain types of activity, e.g., gambling,
prostitution, drug violations. In the electronic version of this document Crimes Against Society have a green heading.
While robbery is a crime against property, an individual must always be listed as a victim due to
the distinct nature of the offense.
While kidnapping is a crime against persons, the property segment must be completed. If no
ransom is paid, place a 1-none in the type lost field of Property.
For counting purposes, one offense is counted for each victim of a “Crime Against Person”; one offense
is counted for each distinct operation for “Crime Against Property” (except motor vehicle theft, where
one offense is counted for each stolen vehicle); and one offense is counted for each “Crime Against
Society.

SUBMISSION TYPES
Manual (Paper) Submission
Agencies submitting offense and arrest reports on paper should mail reports to
KIBRS
1620 SW Tyler
Topeka, KS 66612
When submitting paper reports, it is very important to include the Agency Name, Agency ORI, and to staple pages of
reports together. Loose papers can get lost, misfiled, or not entered. Reports without agency identification cannot be
entered and are unlikely to ever make it into the KIBRS database.
Electronic Submission
If your agency is interested in electronic certification you must contact a Program Consultant at the KBI at 785-296-4373.
Your agency must have software, usually a Record Management System, built to specification with the KIBRS Gateway.
A Program Consultant can assist you in determining if your agency has the technological capability for submission. The
KBI does offer a free Record Management System for medium to small agencies.
Summary Agencies
Some agencies that are not electronic but are too large for the IBR staff at the KBI to enter are considered “summary”
status. These agencies submit only numbers of crimes on a quarterly basis using special documents provided by the IBR
Research Analyst.
SUBMISSION DEADLINES
Quarterly and yearly deadlines are posted in the KCJIS newsletter disseminated by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
Every agency must meet those deadlines, regardless of submission method. If you have questions regarding the deadlines,
please contact the Incident Based Reporting Section at the KBI.
AUDITS
The State of Kansas is audited by the Federal Bureau of Investigation every three years. The FBI chooses roughly 10
local agencies to participate in the state audit. These audits are performed on-site at the departments.
The KBI IBR Section performs audits every year, in addition to the FBI audit. Each local agency will have an on-site
audit every three years from the KBI. Agencies are notified via mail with preparation information and the audit date.
Training
Training is available through the KBI. If your agency would like to host or attend training, please contact the IBR
Section. Training is also announced in the KCJIS newsletter. Hosting or attending training is free.
INVESTIGATION TOOLS
Every offense and arrest report submitted to the KBI is available through two investigative databases.
KIBRS Views is token based and accessed via https://www.kcjis.state.ks.us/Information/kibrs_views.
Users need to notify the IBR Section if they desire to access KIBRS Views.
National Data Exchange (N-DEx) is provided by the FBI and accessed through www.leo.gov. Leo.gov is
not token based, making it free. Many states participate in N-DEx, allowing a search across the U.S.
N-DEx also includes several other types of reports, not just offense and arrest reports.
Remember, these are investigative tools only.
Users are audited under the same standards as any other KCJIS service
.
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 15
4. GROUP A OFFENSES
The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR) collects and reports crime incident data for
the Nation. Essential to the maintenance of uniform and consistent data is the utilization of standard definitions of the offenses
used. The standard KIBRS definitions for Group A offenses are set forth and explained on the following pages.
These definitions, which were developed for NIBRS, are not meant to be used for charging persons with crimes. The
purpose for UCR, is to provide a “universal” and consistent language, which transcends varying local and state laws. State
statutes and local ordinances must be very specific in defining crimes so that persons facing prosecution will know the exact
charges being placed against them. On the other hand, the definitions used in KIBRS / NIBRS are more generic in order not to
exclude varying state and federal statutes relating to the same type of crime.
Accordingly, the offense definitions in NIBRS are based on the common-law definitions found in Black’s Law Dictionary, as
well as those used in the Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook and the NCIC Uniform Offense Classifications. Since most state
statutes are also based on the common-law definitions, even though they may vary as to specifics, most should fit into the
corresponding NIBRS offense classifications.
Kansas state statute definitions occasionally cross the NIBRS definitions and vice versa. In these cases, the non-
conforming offenses should be reported to KIBRS according to their NIBRS offense classifications.
ARSON (Crimes Against Property)
NIBRS OFFENSE CODE 200
To unlawfully and intentionally damage, or attempt to damage, any real or
personal property by fire, explosion or incendiary device.
REPORTING TIPS FOR ARSONS
Only fires determined to have been unlawfully and intentionally set are to be classified as Arson. Attempts to
burn should be included, but fires of suspicious or unknown origin should not be reported.
One incident should be scored for each distinct arson operation originating within the reporting jurisdiction. If
an arson is perpetrated in one locale and spreads to another, it would be reported by the jurisdiction in which the
fire originated.
Incidents in which persons are killed as a direct result of an arson involve both homicide and arson. Similarly,
the number of persons injured during an arson should be reported as assaulted along with the arson.
Arson related deaths and injuries of police officers and firefighters, unless a result of willful murders or assaults,
are excluded due to the hazardous nature of these professions. (NIBRS Requirement)
If a structure is occupied at the time of the arson, the offense of aggravated arson should be reported. Example:
an inmate in the local jail sets his mattress on fire. Aggravated arson would be reported due to other inmates, staff,
etc in the building.
REQUIREMENTS FOR REPORTING ARSON OFFENSES
Victim Type: Cannot be “S” (Society / Public)
Aggravated Arson: at least one victim must be “I” (Individual) - Victim Section
Property Segment: Property Section must be completed with quantity Property Section
Property Codes “1201-1207” should be used for the structure that was involved
The value of property burned, including damage resulting from fighting the
fire should also be reported
Type of Loss: Attempted - “1” (None) or “8” (Unknown)
Completed - “2” (Burned)
16 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
ASSAULT OFFENSES
An unlawful attack by one person upon another.
REPORTING TIPS FOR ALL ASSAULT OFFENSES
An individual is always going to be the victim of assault offenses
Victim/Suspect relationship codes must be provided for each victim to each suspect
An injury code must be provided, even if that code is N-none.
AGGRAVATED ASSAULT / BATTERY
(Crimes Against Persons)
NIBRS OFFENSE CODE 13A
An unlawful attack by one person upon another wherein the offender uses a weapon, or displays
it in a threatening manner, or the victim suffers obvious severe or aggravated bodily injury involving apparent
broken bones, loss of teeth, possible internal injury, severe laceration, or loss of consciousness. This also includes
assault with disease (as in cases when the offender is aware that he / she is infected with a deadly disease and
deliberately attempts to inflict the disease by biting, spitting, etc.).
REPORTING TIPS FOR AGGRAVATED ASSAULT / BATTERY
For the purposes of the above definition, a “weapon” is a commonly known weapon (a gun, knife, club, etc.) or any
other item which, although not usually thought of as a weapon, becomes one when used in a manner that could cause
the types of severe bodily injury described in the above definition.
A “loss of consciousness” must be the direct result of force inflicted on the victim by the offender.
By definition, there can be no “attempted assaults.”
Administration of an unlawful substance in order to have unlawful sexual contact where no contact is achieved would
be classified as an aggravated assault.
Although only one aggravated assault offense occurs, the KIBRS scoring provisions dictate that one offense per
victim is to be reported. For example, if ten individuals were in immediate proximity of a drive by shooting all 10
would be considered victims of aggravated assault, not just the parties that were injured.
HINTS TO AVOID COMMON ERRORS
On occasion, it is the practice to charge assailants in assault cases with simple assault or battery even though a knife,
gun, or other weapon was used in the incident. For KIBRS purposes, this type of assault or battery is to be classified
as aggravated.
A “severe laceration” is one which, even if declined, should receive emergency medical attention. Cuts and
scrapes should be classified as “minor injuries”.
All assaults by one person upon another with the intent to kill, maim, or inflict severe bodily injury with the use of
any dangerous weapon are classified as Aggravated Assault / Battery. It is not necessary that injury result from an
aggravated assault when a gun, knife, or other weapon is displayed which could cause serious personal injury.
Take care when reporting Aggravated Assault / Battery incidents indicating personal weapons or no weapon was used
and no injury or minor injury was sustained. As part of our audit procedures we may ask for additional information to
clarify the classification.
Abuse of a Child is classified as an Aggravated Assault / Battery and a circumstance code is required.

the same victim along with the other offense. Lesser included offenses for Aggravated Assault / Battery are:
Simple Assault Simple Battery Intimidation Criminal Threat
SIMPLE ASSAULT / BATTERY (Crimes Against Persons)
NIBRS OFFENSE CODE 13B
An unlawful physical attack by one person upon another where the offender does not

REPORTING TIPS FOR SIMPLE ASSAULT / BATTERY
Included are offenses such as minor assault, hazing, and injury caused by culpable negligence.
As with Aggravated Assault / Battery there are no attempted simple assaults.
An assault / battery where a deadly weapon is displayed or used will be scored as an Aggravated Assault /
Battery for reporting purposes, even though the offender may be charged by the prosecutor with Simple
Assault / Battery.

18 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
LESSER INCLUDED OFFENSES OF SIMPLE ASSAULT / BATTERY
A lesser included offense is one that is an element of another offense and should not be reported as having happened to the
same victim along with the other offense. Lesser included offenses for Simple Assault / Battery are:
Intimidation Criminal Threat
Example (1): Following an auto accident, Canseco pulls a baseball bat from his car and swings at the victim but misses
her. This crime should be classified as Aggravated Assault / Battery even though no injury was suffered because a weapon
was shown that could have caused serious injury. Weapon code should be “30” (Blunt Object). The injury code should be
“N” (None).
Example (2): During a bar fight, Cliff bashed Norm’s head into the corner of a pool table causing a cut that required
stitches. Norm refused treatment. Due to the seriousness of the injury, this crime should be classified as an Aggravated
Assault / Battery. Report “30” (Blunt Object) as the weapon. The injury code should be “L” (Severe Laceration).
Example (3): Lucy and Ricky are involved in a domestic dispute. During the scuffle Ricky scrapes Lucy with a butcher
knife causing a minor scrape that does not require medical attention. This offense should be classified as Aggravated
Assault / Battery because of the weapon used even though the injuries were minor. Report “20” (Knife) as the weapon
used.
Example (4): John Boy and Mary Ellen get into a wrestling match because one was making fun of the other. No severe
injuries are sustained and the only weapons used were their hands and feet. This offense should be classified as Simple
Assault / Battery. Report “40” (Personal Weapons) as weapon used.
Example (5): The prosecutor’s office obtains an arrest warrant for Ricky in Example (3) charging him with Simple
Assault / Battery. The offense report sent to KIBRS should still list the offense as aggravated because that is the offense
that occurred.
AN AID IN CLASSIFYING ASSAULTS
Careful consideration of the following factors should assist in classifying assaults:
1. The type of weapon employed or the use of an object as a weapon;
2. The seriousness of the injury;
3. The intent and capability of the assailant to cause serious injury.
Usually, the weapons used or the extent of the injury sustained will be the deciding factors in distinguishing
aggravated from simple assault. In only a very limited number of instances should it be necessary to examine the
intent and capability of the assailant.
Prosecutorial policy in a jurisdiction should not influence classification or reporting of KIBRS law
enforcement offense data. It is necessary that assaults in each jurisdiction be examined and classified according
to the standard KIBRS definitions, regardless of whether they are termed felonies or misdemeanors by local
definitions. Agencies will be evaluated on correct reporting of classifications during audits.
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 19
Victim Type: Must be “I” (Individual) - Victim Section
Property Segment: Property Section must be completed with quantityProperty Section
Type of Loss: Attempted - “1” (None) or “8” (Unknown)
Completed - “1” (None), “7” (Stolen), “8” (Unknown)
“5” (Recovered) only if “7” (Stolen) is also reported.
REPORTING TIPS FOR BRIBERY
The phrase, “The offering giving, receiving, or soliciting of any thing of value…” includes such things as
gratuities, kickbacks, favors, or anything else used illegally to influence the outcome of something that is
governed by law, fair play, contractual agreement, or other guideline.
The bribe would bring the outcome of an event outside any realm of reasonableness, the result of which
could be predicted based on the offering or influence given to the person(s) in a position to render decisions.
If bribery involves changing the outcome of a sporting contest or event, it should be reported under
Gambling Offenses as Sports Tampering, not Bribery.
INTIMIDATION / HARASSMENT (Crimes Against Persons)
NIBRS OFFENSE CODE 13C
To unlawfully place another person in reasonable fear of bodily harm through the use
of threatening words and / or other conduct, but without displaying a weapon or
subjecting the victim to actual physical attack. This offense includes stalking
.
REPORTING TIPS FOR INTIMIDATION / HARASSMENT
Intimidation involves an offender making some type of threat to the victim without actually using or displaying a
weapon. Such threats can be made in person, over the telephone, or in writing.
Type of Criminal Activity: “J” (Juvenile Gang), “G” (Other Gang), or “N” (No Gang)
Offense Section
Type of Weapon: Weapon codes “11” through “99” – Offense Section
Victim Type: Must be “I” (Individual) - Victim Section
Relationship of Victims to Offenders: Relationship codes are found on page 71. Should have as many relationships
reported as victims-suspects reported. Victim Section
HINTS TO AVOID COMMON ERRORS
Bomb threats / terroristic threats should be reported under this category. Even if the threat is directed at a
building there must still be an individual listed as the victim. The victim should be the person who received the
threat (phone call, message, note). The victim may also be listed as the individual responsible for the building
(principal, manager, CEO).
Must include a type of weapon. Report the weapon the suspect threatened to use.
If an actual explosive device is discovered
, even if not detonated, report as an Aggravated Assault.
REQUIREMENTS FOR INTIMIDATION / HARASSMENT
BRIBERY (Crimes Against Property)
NIBRS OFFENSE CODE 510
The offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of anything of value (i.e., a bribe, gratuity, or
kickback) to sway the judgment or actions of a person in a position of trust or influence.
REQUIREMENTS FOR BRIBERY
20 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
BURGLARY (Crimes Against Property)
The unlawful entry into a building or other structure with the intent to commit a
felony, a theft, or a sexual battery.
For KIBRS purposes, offenses locally known as burglary (any degree); unlawful entry with intent to commit a
larceny or felony; breaking and entering with intent to commit a larceny; and housebreaking; should be
classified as Burglary.
Burglary almost always includes some type of larceny offense. Because Burglary is defined by the FBI UCR
Program in terms of theft, only the burglary is to be reported, not the accompanying larceny.
Burglaries to a Motor Vehicle with the intent to commit a theft are reported as a theft of property from
the motor vehicle; theft of motor vehicle parts or accessories, or a motor vehicle theft based on the nature
of the theft. The FBI does not recognize Burglary to a Motor Vehicle. DO NOT
USE the Burglary
to a Motor Vehicle statute when reporting to KIBRS. This is for KIBRS purposes only. The burglary
should be reported to your prosecutor and can still be charged as a felony crime.
When a structure is burglarized, any owners of stolen property are victims of the burglary, even if they
do not own or reside in the structure, e.g., Tom Cat left his computer at Mary Mouse’s house which is
Burglarized and the computer taken. Tom Cat and Mary Mouse are both victims of Burglary.
Kansas is one of only a few states with a statute for Burglary to a Motor Vehicle. In order to keep national
crime data reporting as consistent and comparable as possible, certain concessions must be made. KIBRS will
continue to make every effort possible to capture information that is valuable to both the FBI and the local
agencies.
A structure consists of four walls, a door, and a roof.
The method of entry is to be reported as either “F” (Force) or “N” (No Force). If both force and unforced entries
are involved, enter “F” (Force). Method of entry must be supplied for offenses of Burglary.
An unforced entry is one where the unlawful entry is achieved through an unlocked or open door or window.
Anything more constitutes a forced entry to include using a key.
Criminal damage is not a lesser included offense of Burglary. If damage occurs during the Burglary it must
be reported as a secondary offense and the property damaged added to the property section.
Hotel / Motel / Storage Unit Rule allows multiple burglaries within a hotel or rental storage facility to be reported
as one incident. (See page 16 for more details.)
HINTS TO AVOID COMMON ERRORS
Theft / Larceny is a lesser included of Burglary and will be ignored by the KIBRS system.
When a hotel, motel, inn, or other temporary lodging, or a rental storage facility is burglarized, the number of
premises, rooms, suites, units, storage compartments, entered is to be reported under Number of Premises not the
number assigned to the room.
If a person is inside the structure during the Burglary, the offense is upgraded to Aggravated Burglary. Any
persons inside the structure would be reported as victims in that circumstance.
REPORTING TIPS FOR BURGLARIES
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 21
REQUIREMENTS FOR REPORTING BURGLARY OFFENSES
Method of Entry: “F” (Force) or “N” (No Force) – Offense Section
Premise Code: Can NOT
be any of the following:
“01” (Parking Lot / Parking Garage) “21” (Automatic Teller Machine)
“02” (City Street) “37” (Park Trail/Open Rec Areas)
“03” (Alley) “38” (Fields / Woods)
“04” (Highway) “39” (Oil Fields)
“05” (Rural Road) “40” (Lake / Waterway / River)
“06” (Vacant Lot) “41” (Construction Site)
“99” (Other)
Number of Premises: Must be completed if the Premise code is: “33” (Hotel / Motel / Inn) or
“35” (Rental Storage Facility) Offense Section
Victim Type: Can not be “S” (Society / Public) - Victim Section
Property Segment: Property Section must be completed with quantity Property Section
Type of Loss: Attempted - “1” (None) or “8” (Unknown)
Completed - “1” (None), “7” (Stolen), “8” (Unknown)
“5” (Recovered) only if “7” (Stolen) is also reported.
LESSER INCLUDED OFFENSES OF BURGLARY
A lesser included offense is one that is an element of another offense and should not be reported as having happened in
the same incident with the other offense.
All Larceny / Theft offenses
Example (1): Farmer Mitchell found his barn door kicked in and his John Deere tractor was missing. The report
should include a burglary and criminal damage. Do not report a larceny offense as that is considered part of the
burglary.
Example (2): In the overnight hours someone broke into 15 storage units at U-Stor-It. The manager called the police
and reported the crimes then notified the renters of the units. Only one incident should be reported. Report “15” in
the Number of Premises field.
HOTEL / MOTEL RULE
If a number of units under a single manager are burglarized and the offenses are most likely to be reported to the
police by the manager rather than the individual tenants / renters, the burglary should be reported as a single incident.
Examples: hotel / motel rooms and commercial storage units. Simply report the number of units burglarized in the
Number of Premises field.
If the individual living areas in a building are rented or leased for a period of time, which would preclude the tenancy
from being classified as transient, then the burglaries would most likely be reported separately by the occupants.
Such burglaries would be reported as separate incidents. Examples: apartments and offices in a commercial building.
22 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
COUNTERFEITING / FORGERY (Crimes Against Property)
NIBRS OFFENSE CODE 250
The altering, copying, or imitation of something, without authority or right, with the
intent to deceive or defraud by passing the copy or item altered or imitated as that which
is original or genuine; or the selling, buying, or possession of an altered, copied, or
imitated thing with the intent to deceive or defraud.
REPORTING TIPS FOR COUNTERFEITING / FORGERY
HINTS TO AVOID COMMON ERRORS
Even if a name is fictitious, that name should still be reported as the victim of forgery.
Forgeries should be reported by the jurisdiction where the offense took place. If checks were
stolen out of Topeka and forged in Wichita, Topeka reports the theft of checks and Wichita would
report the forgery and theft of property resulting from the forgery.
Each act of forgery should be reported as a separate incident as they each constitute a new
criminal transaction.
The theft of a check and forgery should each be a separate incident as they almost always occur at a
separate time and place.
The business that accepted the forged check is a victim of the theft even if they are reimbursed and
not out any money.
Included in this category are offenses such as altering and forging public and other records;
making, altering, forging or counterfeiting drafts, tickets, checks, credit cards, etc.; forging wills,
deeds, bonds, etc.; erasures; signing the name of another or fictitious person with intent to
defraud; counterfeiting seals, trademarks, plates, banknotes, checks, etc.; possessing forged or
counterfeited instruments; using counterfeited labels; possession, manufacture, etc., of
counterfeiting apparatus; and selling goods with altered, forged, or counterfeited trademarks.
Although Counterfeiting / Forgery offenses can involve elements of fraud, they are treated separately
due to their unique nature.
Altering, forging or counterfeiting prescriptions to fraudulently obtain a prescription medication is
reported under Counterfeiting / Forgery, instead of Drugs/Narcotics Violations.
While counterfeiting money, bills, or coins is not included in Kansas statutes for counterfeiting, they
should be reported through KIBRS using Making a False Information statutes. This will, in turn, be
reported to the FBI as Counterfeit / Forgery.
The person whose name was forged should be listed as the victim of a forgery.
Report the document or item that was forged, reproduced, or signed in the property section as
counterfeit / forged.
Forgery is the act of altering an item with intent to defraud NOT the actual theft of items
resulting from a forgery. If the forgery was completed and passed to an individual, business, etc, a
theft by deception should also be included. Whatever person or entity that received the forged item
should be listed as the victim of theft by deception. Any property gained from that transaction would
be reported as stolen.
Report an additional charge of Identity Theft if the suspect falsely represents his/herself as another
individual by providing personal identifying information such as date of birth
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 23
REQUIREMENTS FOR REPORTING FORGERY OFFENSES
Type of Criminal Activity: Appropriate choices are: “C” (Manufacturing / Publishing),
“D” (Distributing / Selling), “B” (Buying / Receiving), “P” (Possessing), or
“T” (Transporting) – Offense Section
Victim Type: Type of victim for forgery should be “I” (Individual) - Victim Section
Property Segment: Property Section must be completed with quantity Property Section
Type of Loss: Attempted - “1” (None) or “8” (Unknown)
Completed - “3” (Counterfeited / Forged), “8” (Unknown)
“5”(Recovered) only if “3”(Counterfeited / Forged) is also reported.
Example (1): A suspect presents a counterfeit $100 bill for payment of services in a restaurant. Since money is not
included in the state statute for counterfeiting, this should be reported as Making a False Writing. (The victim would be
listed as the United States Treasury. The restaurant would be the victim of the associated theft by deception or theft of
services. Report property as Type Loss “3” (Counterfeited / Forged); Property Code “0101” (U.S. Currency);
Description “counterfeit $100 bill”. Also, Type Loss “7” (Stolen); Property Code “1198” (Services); Description
“Meal”.
Example (2): A suspect presents a prescription to her local pharmacy for oxycontin. It is obvious to the pharmacist that
the 10 was changed to 40. The offense should be classified as Counterfeiting / Forgery using Obtaining A Prescription
Only Drug by Fraudulent Means. The victim of the forged document would be the doctor that issued the prescription. The
pharmacy would be the victim of the associated theft. Report property as Type Loss “3” (Counterfeited / Forged);
Property Code “0135” (Prescription); Description “prescription for oxycontin”. Also, Type Loss “7” (Stolen); Property
Code “0927” (Other Narcotics); Description “Oxycontin”.
Example (3): Upon receiving her bank statement, a woman makes a report to the Lenexa Police Department that someone
has been writing checks on her account. She conveys to the officer that she thought she had ordered two boxes of checks
but when only one was delivered she assumed she ordered wrong. The bank statements showed five checks written at five
different locations (all in Overland Park). The Lenexa Police Department would ONLY report to KIBRS the theft of the
box of checks as it is the only crime committed within their jurisdiction. A report should be taken from the victim on the
forgeries and forwarded to the Overland Park Police Department. Overland Park should report to KIBRS five (5)
incidents with separate case numbers to reflect the various locations of offense for each crime. Just because Lenexa would
not submit the forgery report to KIBRS does not preclude them from issuing an informational report to the victim.
Example (4): A suspect phones his local pharmacy, pretending to be a doctor, and relays information to the pharmacist in
order to obtain 20 tablets of the prescription drug Lortab. Even though no actual written document is produced the
offense would be classified as Obtaining A Prescription Only Drug by Fraudulent Means. The victim would be the doctor.
The additional offense of False Impersonation would also be warranted listing the doctor as victim. The Property reported
should include; Type Loss of “7” (Stolen) Quantity of “20”, Type of Drug Measure of “DU” (Dosage Units), Property
Code of “0927” (Other Narcotics) with a Property Description of “Lortab”. The agency should also report the following
for the forged prescription; Type Loss of “3” (Counterfeited / Forged), Quantity of “1”, Property Code of
“0135” (Prescription) with a Property Description of “telephoned prescription”.
24 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
This offense includes a broad range of damage to property, i.e., from deliberate, extensive destruction of
property to mischievous, less extensive damage. It does not include destruction or damage to property
caused by arson.
Incidental damage resulting from another offense is also to be reported in this offense category. However,
for the crime of Arson, incidental damage resulting from fighting the fire should be included as part of
the loss caused by burning.
CRIMINAL DAMAGE TO PROPERTY (Crimes Against Property)
NIBRS OFFENSE CODE 290
To willfully or maliciously destroy, damage, deface, or otherwise injure real or personal
property without the consent of the owner or the person having custody or control of it.
REPORTING TIPS FOR CRIMINAL DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
HINTS TO AVOID COMMON ERRORS
The destroyed property listed for this offense should not be motor vehicle parts and accessories if those
parts were attached to the vehicle at the time of the incident. In the case of criminal damage to any part of
a motor vehicle, always report the actual vehicle as property damaged. You should list exact parts in the
description. (See Example #1 below.)
Similarly, when part of a structure is damaged, such as a window, report the damaged property as the
structure not the window. Window can be included in the description of property reported. (See Example
#3 below.)
REQUIREMENTS FOR REPORTING CRIMINAL DAMAGE OFFENSES
Victim Type: Cannot be “S” (Society / Public) - Victim Section
Property Segment: Property Section must be completed with quantity Property Section
Type of Loss: Attempted - “1” (None) or “8” (Unknown)
Completed - “4” (Destroyed / Damaged / Vandalized)
Example (2): Victim reports that while at work someone slashed four tires that were stored along the side of her house. This
offense should be classified as Criminal Damage to Property with the property listed as “1151” (Auto Parts and accessories).
The property description box should state “all-weather tires”.
Example (3): Upon arriving home from vacation, the victim discovered gang symbols spray painted on the front door of his
house. While the offense is still classified as Criminal Damage to Property, the property should be listed as “1201” (Single
Occupancy Dwelling). The property description box should state “front entry door”.
Unlawfully Obtaining Prescription Only Drug
In order for a case to qualify under the “unlawful obtaining a prescription” statute, the suspect must
have forged a prescription that was not issued or
called in a prescription that was not issued or
altered a prescription issued and / or
represent themselves falsely as the individual issued the prescription
The victim of Unlawful Obtaining would be the medical professional whose name was used in the
commission of the crime.
If the suspect obtained the drugs successfully, a second offense of Theft by Deception should be
reported with the pharmacy as the victim.
Individuals caught with stolen prescription drugs would not
be classified under this offense.

DRUG / NARCOTIC OFFENSES
The violation of laws prohibiting the production, distribution, and / or use of certain controlled substances and
the equipment or devices utilized in their preparation and / or use.
REPORTING TIPS FOR ALL DRUG / NARCOTIC OFFENSES
Property is required, whether that is paraphernalia, drugs, or both. Do not leave property blank. Reports will be
returned that are missing property.
Society is the victim for all Drug / Narcotic offenses.
DRUG / NARCOTIC VIOLATIONS (Crimes Against Society)
NIBRS OFFENSE CODE 35A
See chart on page 121-122 for specific drugs
The unlawful cultivation, manufacture, distribution, sale, purchase, use, possession, transportation, or
importation of any controlled substance or narcotic drug.
REPORTING TIPS FOR DRUG OFFENSES
Must report a Suspected Drug Type using the appropriate drug property code.
Must report an ESTIMATED Drug Quantity and Drug Measurement. This is required to process the report. The
form clearly states that this quantity is an estimation. If an agency chooses, they may report a quantity of “1” and
a measurement of “XX” until results are returned from the lab. When using “XX”, the agency MUST update the
report once a true measurement has been received. In most cases these results are returned within thirty days.
When reporting drug property only one entry for each suspected drug type may be reported. If drugs are found in
the trunk of a car, and the same drug is also found under the driver’s seat, the weights should be combined into
one entry. The exception to this is if processed marijuana is seized along with marijuana plants.
Due to the drastic differences among locations, property values are not reported for drugs unless they are reported
stolen.
HINTS TO AVOID COMMON ERRORS
Use the provided statute cheat sheet on page 121-122
When lab results are returned, an agency must update their report to show the drug quantity. Agencies with
reports of drug measurement “XX” that are older than 3 months will be contacted and expected to update these
reports.
Agencies should use accurate estimates. An agency that uses a particular measurement excessively will be asked
to verify the drug measurements as accurate.
When listing a fraction of an amount use the fraction field and a decimal format. Do not use the quantity
field to report fractions.
Report trace / residue as .001 GM in the fraction field, even if your prosecutor denies all trace cases

How to Report Theft of Anhydrous Ammonia
With the growing number of thefts of anhydrous ammonia by offenders using it to manufacture
methamphetamines, it is recommended we use the following example for reporting this crime.
Report theft statute
Victim: Individual who owned the property
Property Type Loss: stolen (7)
Property Code: “1138” (Anhydrous Ammonia)
Property Description: “(measurement unit*) of Anhydrous Ammonia” must be listed
Estimated quantity: number of measurement units stolen
Value: estimated value of stolen property
* gallon/quart/etc.
This offense covers cases involving drug paraphernalia, equipment, chemicals, illegal labs, etc.
Drug paraphernalia value is required and should be estimated to the best value possible. It is understood
paraphernalia can be worthless objects, i.e. burnt spoons, pieces of foil. $1 is still the minimum value.
In drug cases, the property code for drug paraphernalia is always “0915”. Even if the item could fit into another
category if it were not being used as paraphernalia.
An exact description is required rather than using the generic term of “drug paraphernalia”.
When reporting the seizure of a meth lab, please itemize all paraphernalia property and also list
an additional entry of “meth lab” as paraphernalia seized.
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 27
EMBEZZLEMENT (Crimes Against Property)
NIBRS OFFENSE CODE 270
The unlawful misappropriation by an offender, to his / her own use or purpose, of money,
property, or some other thing of value entrusted to his / her care, custody, or control.
REPORTING TIPS FOR EMBEZZLEMENT
This does not include failure to return a vehicle from an authorized test drive; this would be scored as criminal
deprivation of property (or theft if they never plan to bring it back) with a theft type of “V” (motor vehicle).
The victim type should not be “S” Society or “U” Unknown.
In general, an employer / employee or legal agent relationship must exist.
It is not unusual for this type of crime to be ongoing over a long period of time. Despite the differences in time,
embezzlement is an exception to the “same time and place” rule
. For this reason, only one incident is reported.
The time span is captured in the date offense started and date offense ended fields.
Embezzlement goes far beyond “money”. Any property that an employee has access to, is entrusted with, and
knows is owned by the employer can be embezzled. Money stolen from co-workers out of purses / wallets is not
embezzlement.
HINTS TO AVOID COMMON ERRORS
Since the nature of this crime involves an ongoing event, only one incident (case number) needs to be reported.
Joyriding, not returning an automobile from a test drive, or any other act where an offender was given the item
but failed to return it should NOT be classified as Embezzlement. For KIBRS purposes, criminal deprivation (or
theft if they never plan to bring it back) is the best way to report these offenses.
In-home care providers stealing from their charges would count as embezzlement as they are allowed into the
home with a certain sense of trust that the individual’s belongings will be safe with the provider.
REQUIREMENTS FOR REPORTING EMBEZZLEMENT OFFENSES
Type of Theft: “E” (Embezzlement) – Offense Section
Victim Type: Can not be “S” (Society / Public) - Victim Section
Property Segment: Property Section must be completed Property Section
Type of Loss: Attempted - “1” (None) or “8” (Unknown)
Completed - “1” (None), “7” (Stolen), “8” (Unknown)
“5” (Recovered) only if “7” (Stolen) is also reported.
Example (1): Miss Hathaway, a secretary at a law firm, deposits checks made out to the law firm into her own personal
account over the course of several months. Only one report should be submitted for Embezzlement using the date started
and date ended fields to show the span of time for which these thefts occurred. The property field should have one entry
with the total of all monies acquired.
Example (2): A manager at an auto parts store steals several items to fix his car. Since these items were entrusted in his
care, the offense should be reported as Embezzlement.
Example (3): Brad and Angelina are shopping for a new car. They take a 2008 Cadillac Escalade for a test drive and do
not return it. This offense should be classified as Criminal Deprivation of Property (or theft if they never plan to bring it
back) (Motor Vehicle Theft) rather than as Embezzlement.
28 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
EXTORTION / BLACKMAIL (Crimes Against Property)
NIBRS OFFENSE CODE 210
To unlawfully obtain money, property, or any other thing of value, either tangible or intangible, through the use of
threat of force, misuse of authority, threat of criminal prosecution, threat of destruction of reputation or social
standing, or through other coercive means.
REPORTING TIPS FOR EXTORTION
Even though persons are involved or victimized in Extortion / Blackmail cases, this offense is
considered a crime against property. Like robbery, which is also a crime against property, the object or
target of Extortion / Blackmail is to obtain money or property; therefore, it is classified as such.
Extortion includes offenses where threats are made in non-confrontational circumstances and the
victim is not in fear of immediate harm.
If during a demand for money, property, etc., there is a personal confrontation between the victim
and offender and the threat of force or violence could be carried out immediately, the offense
should be reported as Robbery.
Racketeering offenses should be classified as Extortion / Blackmail.
If the property gained from Extortion / Blackmail is intangible, it should be reported as “1199”
(Miscellaneous). Intangibles are anything that cannot be perceived by the sense of touch.
They can be benefits, e.g., a right or privilege, a promotion, enhanced reputation, etc.; or a
detriment, e.g., loss of reputation, injured feelings, etc.
If the suspect does not gain any property, the Extortion / Blackmail is reported as Attempted.
REQUIREMENTS FOR REPORTING EXTORTION OFFENSES
Victim Type: Cannot be “S” (Society / Public) - Victim Section
Property Segment: Property Section must be completed – Property Section
Type of Loss: Attempted - “1” (None) or “8” (Unknown)
Completed - “7” (Stolen), “5” (Recovered) only if “7” (Stolen) is also reported.
Example (1): The suspect telephoned the victim stating that if he did not give the suspect $10,000 by the end of the week
she would go to the police and report his thefts from his business. The victim does not give the suspect anything. Since no
property was gained, report the blackmail as Attempted with a type loss of 1-None in the property section.
Example (2): The same suspect confronts the same victim at his place of employment. She tells the victim that she knows of
his thefts and if he does not give her a $10,000 cut she will kill him. The victim can see a handgun in her purse and fears
she may use it. This offense would be classified as Robbery and not Extortion.
Example (3): The suspect tells the victim that if he does not divorce his wife she will tell the wife about their lengthy affair.
This would be classified as an Extortion / Blackmail and the property would be “1199” (Miscellaneous). The property
description box would state “divorce”.
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 29
By definition, fraud involves either the offender receiving a benefit or the victim incurring a detriment.
The benefit or detriment could be either “tangible” or “intangible.” For example, if a person
impersonates a doctor to gain entrance to a restricted area of a hospital, the benefit to the offender
(entry to the restricted area) is “intangible.” Intangibles are anything which cannot be perceived by
the sense of touch. They can be benefits, e.g., a right or privilege, a promotion, enhanced reputation,
etc.; or a detriment, e.g., loss of reputation, injured feelings, etc.
Whenever the circumstances fit the definition of more than one of the subcategories listed below,
the most specific subcategory of fraud should be reported. Most frauds would fit the definition
of False Pretenses / Swindle. But, if a credit card was used to perpetrate the fraud, the offense
would be classified as Credit Card / ATM Fraud.
When classifying fraud cases other than the most obvious ones, i.e., con games, swindles, etc.,
care should be used in applying the facts of the case to the definition of fraud. Often questions
arise as to whether or not the facts of a case describe a fraud or a larceny. Whereas both offenses
can involve theft, it is the method used to steal that makes the difference between the two. Fraud
is achieved through deceit or lying, whereas larceny is the physical taking of something.
FRAUD OFFENSES
The intentional perversion of the truth for the purpose of inducing another person, or other entity,
in reliance upon it to part with something of value or to surrender a legal right.
REPORTING TIPS FOR GENERAL FRAUD OFFENSES
REQUIREMENTS FOR REPORTING ALL FRAUD OFFENSES
Victim Type: Cannot be “S” (Society / Public) - Victim Section
Property Segment: Property Section must be completed – Property Section
Type of Loss: Attempted - “1” (None) or “8” (Unknown)
Completed - “1” (None), “7” (Stolen), “8” (Unknown)
“5” (Recovered) only if “7” (Stolen) is also reported.
FALSE PRETENSES / SWINDLE / CONFIDENCE GAME
(Crimes Against Property)
NIBRS OFFENSE CODE 26A
The intentional misrepresentation of existing fact or condition, or use of some other
deceptive scheme or device, to obtain money, goods, or other things of value.
This category includes obtaining both tangible and intangible property, e.g. employment
Common offenses in this category include Theft by Deception, Theft of Services, Identity Theft, and Identity
Fraud.
Theft by Deception includes telephone / teletype / email etc scams, e.g., an individual calls the victim posing as a
grandchild in need of bail money or a caller informs the victim he / she has won a lottery but must send a
processing fee. Checks drawn against closed accounts should also be reported as a theft by deception.
Theft of services includes any unlawful use of utilities (water, electricity, natural gas) or telephone and cable
services. Unlawful connections through use of wires, cables, and / or disconnecting wires, cables, utility meters
should be reported under theft of services.
Report any corresponding forgery offenses.
30 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
HINTS TO AVOID COMMON ERRORS
Use the following guidelines when determining differences between Identity Theft and Identity Fraud:
Identity Theft is knowingly and with intent to defraud for any benefit, obtaining,
possessing, transferring, or using one or more identification documents or numbers of another person.
Examples: Using a social security number to obtain employment, using another identity to obtain an
account for services, e.g. cable, telephone
Identity Fraud is willfully and knowingly supplying false information intending that the information be
used to obtain an identification document or; making, counterfeiting, altering or amending any
identification document with the intent to deceive.
Identification documents are; any card, certificate or document or banking instrument
including, but not limited to, credit or debit card, which identifies or purports to identify the
bearer of such document, whether or not intended for use as identification, and includes, but is
not limited to, documents purporting to be drivers’ licenses, non-drivers’ identification cards,
certified copies of birth, death, marriage and divorce certificates, social security cards, and
employee identification cards.
Example 1: Victim 1 reports to your agency that they were unable to obtain a Verizon Wireless cell phone account
because an account under the Victim’s name was already opened and was in default. Report identity theft on the
offense report because the suspect used the victim’s personal information to obtain a cell phone account.
Example 2: Suspect Brenda alters her sister, Sue’s driver’s license to add the Brenda’s picture in order to purchase
alcohol. Brenda would be charged with identity fraud due to altering the identification document. Sue would be
reported as the victim. The altered driver’s license would be reported as counterfeit property.
Example 3: An elderly victim answers the telephone and is informed by the caller that he has won the Jamaican
national lottery but in order to obtain the full winnings, the victim must send the caller $400 to process his winnings.
The victim sends $400 to the required location. Two weeks later, the caller phones the victim again and states the
victim must send $400 more to the location. When the victim refuses, the caller threatens the victim with harm, and
then the victim hangs up and does not send more money. This scenario would mean two separate offense reports. The
first offense report would report a theft by deception charge with $400 shown as stolen. Report criminal threat on the
second offense report without any stolen property, as the victim did not send any more money.
Example 4: Suspect 1 removes several wires from the utility meter outside her house, disabling the meter from reading
the correct amount of electricity used. The suspect would be charged with theft of services. The electricity would be
reported as stolen with a property code of 1198-Services. The victim would be the electric company.
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 31
CREDIT CARD / AUTOMATIC TELLER MACHINE FRAUD
Crimes Against Property)
NIBRS OFFENSE CODE 26B
The unlawful use of a credit (or debit) card or automatic teller machine for fraudulent
purposes.
REPORTING TIPS FOR CREDIT CARD FRAUD
Items obtained using credit / debit card should be reported as stolen property. Be specific on property
descriptions. Do not lump items together using “Misc. Merchandise”, “Misc. Items” etc
Victim of this offense should be the individual issued the card, the place where the card was used, and the
bank or lending institution that issued the card can be listed as an ADDITIONAL victim. The place where
card was used is a victim since the property obtained in the fraud came from their location.
HINTS TO AVOID COMMON ERRORS
Unlawful use of a Vision Debit card is considered Welfare Fraud, not Unlawful Use of a Credit Card.
Only report the fraudulent use of the financial card. The theft of the card will require a separate
incident.
DO NOT REPORT an additional theft with a Criminal Use of Financial Card. Theft is already included.
EXAMPLE (1): Mrs. Dillon reported that she received her USA Bank Visa bill in the mail and someone used her card number to
purchase $100.00 of internet membership from “Girls Gone Wild” on July 5, 2007. The offense would be classified as Credit Card /
ATM fraud using Criminal Use of a Financial Card. The victims would be Mrs. Dillon, Girls Gone Wild, and USA Bank. Report the
property as Type Loss “7” (Stolen); the Property Code “1198” (Services); the Description “internet porn service”. NOTE: Mark
“computer equipment” in the Offender Suspected of Using data field in the offense section.
EXAMPLE (2): Ms. Dahl reports receiving her Discover card statement and finding unauthorized charges to Sears on March 15 in
the auto center for $75, JC Penney on March 15 in the hair salon for $125, and K-Mart on March 16 in the jewelry department for
$500. The same time and place rule requires three (3) offense reports to be completed for these charges. The victims on the first of-
fense report would be Ms. Dahl, Discover, and Sears. Report the property as Type Loss “7” (Stolen); the Property Code would be
“1198” (Services); the Description would be “auto services”, the Value would be $75.
The victims on the third offense report would be Ms. Dahl, Discover, and K-Mart. Report the property as Type Loss “7” (Stolen);
Property Code would be “0250”(Jewelry); Description would be” jewelry”, Value would be $500.
The victims on the second offense report would be Ms. Dahl, Discover, and JC Penney. Report the property as Type Loss
“7” (Stolen); the Property Code would be “1198” (Services); the Description would be “hair salon services”, the Value would be
$125.
Although the agency and victim will not have all property information at the time of the initial report, as much information that can
be provided is required. Agencies should make modifications to the cases as information is received so the most accurate property
information can be tracked.
32 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
IMPERSONATION (Crimes Against Property)
NIBRS OFFENSE CODE 26C
Falsely representing one’s identity or position and acting in the character or position thus unlawfully assumed,
to deceive others and thereby gain a profit or advantage, enjoy some right or privilege, or subject another
person or entity to an expense, charge, or liability which would not have otherwise incurred.
HINTS TO AVOID COMMON ERRORS:
False impersonation requires the offender to be representing oneself as a public officer, public employee,
or a person engaged in any profession or vocation for which a license is required by the laws of the State
of Kansas, with knowledge that such representation is false. Do not include using false identification for
someone who is not a public officer, public employee, or for a person not required to have a state issued
license for their profession as False Impersonation.
If the impersonation is used during a criminal proceeding of any type; i.e. signature on a ticket, bail bond,
or court papers, there does not need to be a licensing requirement. However, the classification would then
be AGGRAVATED
False Impersonation.
Example
(1): Following an accident at work, the victim was approached by the suspect who claimed he was an attorney. The
investigation proved he was not a licensed attorney. The offense should be classified as False Impersonation as he was
pretending to have a position that he did not and that position required licensure by the State of Kansas.
E
xample (2): A suspect assumed the identity of another person in order to obtain employment in a factory. He could not be
legally employed as he was an illegal alien. This would NOT be classified as False Impersonation but as Identity Theft / Fraud.
E
xample (3): A suspect assumed the identity of his twin brother after he was stopped and arrested for DUI. Since this was part
of a criminal proceeding the classification should be Aggravated False Impersonation.
WELFARE FRAUD (Crimes Against Property)
NIBRS OFFENSE CODE 26D
The use of deceitful statements, practices or devices to unlawfully obtain welfare benefits.
REPORTING TIPS FOR WELFARE FRAUD
Unlawful use of a Vision Debit card is considered Welfare Fraud, not Unlawful Use of a Credit Card.
If the suspect is attempting to fraudulently obtain welfare assistance and does not
use another’s identity
Government should be the only victim reported. If the suspect poses as another individual, report an additional
offense of identity theft.
If the suspect steals a vision card, WIC checks, etc the theft should be reported as a different case.
When the suspect uses the welfare assistance a new report should be completed. Victims in those cases would be
the individual issued the assistance, Government, and wherever the welfare assistance was used.
If the suspect signs anything during the commission of Welfare Fraud, report an additional offense of Forgery.
See page 17 for more information on Forgery.
HINTS TO AVOID COMMON ERRORS:
Government must always be listed as at least one victim. More victims are allowable beyond
Government.
Property is required.

HOMICIDE OFFENSES
The killing of one human being by another.
Traffic related deaths resulting from either an individual driving under the influence or
unwillful deaths of a bystander or police officer when it is the result of an attempt to evade or
elude the police are not reported to KIBRS as a homicide.
(NIBRS Requirement)
MURDER & NON-NEGLIGENT MANSLAUGHTER
(Crimes Against Persons)
NIBRS OFFENSE CODE 09A
The willful (non-negligent) killing of one human being by another.
REPORTING TIPS FOR HOMICIDE OFFENSES
As a general rule, any death due to injuries received in a fight, argument, quarrel, assault, or commission of a
crime is classified in this category.
Although offenders may be charged with lesser offenses, e.g., Involuntary Manslaughter, if the killing was
“willful” or intentional it must be reported as Murder and Non-negligent Manslaughter.
The findings of a court, coroner’s inquest, etc., DO NOT affect the reporting of offenses in this category.
Offenses should be reported as seen through the eyes of law enforcement.
Suicides, accidental deaths, and traffic fatalities are not classified as Murder or Non-negligent
Manslaughter.
Situations where the victim dies of a heart attack or stroke as a result of a robbery or witnessing a crime
likewise do not meet the criteria in this classification.
Attempted Murder will be classified as a completed Aggravated Assault / Battery, but the report should still show
Attempted Murder as the offense. If a victim dies after the case has been reported, the agency must modify the
offense to show a completed Homicide.
REQUIREMENTS FOR REPORTING HOMICIDE OFFENSES
Type of Criminal Activity: “J” (Juvenile Gang), “G” (Other Gang), or “N” (No Gang)–Offense Section
Type of Weapon: Weapon codes “11” through “95”. “99”(None) not accepted

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS WHEN REPORTING A HOMICIDE
Supplemental Homicide Report (SHR)
: This is a required form to be submitted whenever an agency reports a
Negligent, Non-Negligent, or Justifiable Homicide. Forms can be obtained from the KIBRS section of the KBI. (See
pages 106-108 for details)
Hardcopy of Offense and Arrest Report
: Even if submitting data electronically, each agency MUST submit paper
copies of all offense and arrest reports for all Negligent, Non-Negligent, and Justifiable Homicides.
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 35
NEGLIGENT MANSLAUGHTER (Crimes Against Persons)
NIBRS OFFENSE CODE 09B
The killing of another person through negligence.
REPORTING TIPS FOR NEGLIGENT MANSLAUGHTER
This offense does not include “Vehicular Manslaughter”. If a vehicle was involved in the death and it
was not accidental
it is reportable as a Murder and Nonnegligent Manslaughter.
Included in this offense are killings resulting from hunting accidents, gun cleaning, children playing with
guns, etc.
Not included are deaths of persons due to their own negligence; accidental deaths not resulting from gross
negligence; and accidental traffic fatalities. Accidental traffic fatalities include those killed by a driver
involved in a police chase.
REQUIREMENTS FOR REPORTING NEGLIGENT HOMICIDE OFFENSES
Type of Criminal Activity: “J” (Juvenile Gang), “G” (Other Gang), or “N” (No Gang)–Offense Section
Type of Weapon: Weapon codes “11” through “95”. “99”(None) not accepted
Offense Section
Victim Type: Must be “I” (Individual) - Victim Section
Relationship of Victims to Offenders: Relationship codes found on page 71. Should have as many relationships
reported as victims-suspects reported Victim Section
Type of Injury: MUST BE LEFT BLANK
Victim Section
Special: Aggravated Assault / Homicide Circumstances required
(May enter only one)
Example (1): Colonel Mustard, a suspect in a brutal homicide case involving a candlestick, strikes a plea deal with the prosecutor to
an involuntary manslaughter charge. KIBRS only collects actual facts of the case and not final charges brought by the prosecutor.
Since it was the opinion of the reporting officer that a Murder / Nonnegligent Manslaughter was committed, that is the offense that
should be reported to KIBRS and not the involuntary manslaughter.
E
xample (2): While leaving the scene of a robbery, the suspect becomes involved in a high speed police chase. The suspect runs a
red light and crashes into another vehicle killing all five passengers. By FBI standards this would NOT be classified as Murder /
Nonnegligent Manslaughter or Involuntary Manslaughter. KIBRS would recommend reporting this using Vehicular Homicide.
LESSER INCLUDED OFFENSES NEGLIGENT MANSLAUGHTER
A lesser included offense is one that is an element of another offense and should not be reported as having happened to the same
victim along with the other offense. Lesser included offenses for Negligent Manslaughter are:
Aggravated Assault/Battery Simple Assault/Battery
36 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
Justifiable Homicide is not an actual “offense” and is not included in an agency’s homicide
counts. However, your agency is required to submit offense reports for any and all Justifiable
Homicides. Report using statute 00-8888 which is used for KIBRS purposes only.
Do not count a killing as justifiable or excusable solely on the basis of self-defense or the action of a
coroner, prosecutor, grand jury, or court. The willful killing of one individual by another is being
reported, not the criminal liability of the person or persons involved.
Justifiable Homicide, by definition, often occurs in conjunction with other offenses. The crime that
was being committed when the Justifiable Homicide took place must be reported as a separate
incident.
If the “justified” killer (officer or civilian) committed another offense in connection with the
Justifiable Homicide (e.g., illegal possession of the gun he / she used) that offense would
constitute a third incident.
JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE
NIBRS OFFENSE CODE 09C NO Official K.S.A, USE 00-8888 for KIBRS purposes
The killing of a perpetrator of a serious criminal offense by a law enforcement officer in the
line of duty; or the killing, during the commission of a serious criminal offense, of the
perpetrator by a private individual.

VEHICULAR HOMICIDE
Vehicular Homicide is the unintentional killing of a human being committed by the operation of an automobile,
airplane, motor boat or other motor vehicle in a manner which creates an unreasonable risk of injury to the person
or property of another and which constitutes a material deviation from the standard of care which a reasonable
person would observe under the same circumstances.
Vehicular Homicide is reportable as a Group B offense (90Z - All Other). An arrest report is all that is required
for this offense.

without the consent of his / her custodial parent(s) or legal guardian.
REPORTING TIPS FOR KIDNAPPING
This offense includes not only criminal restraint and abduction, but hostage situations as well.
Although the object of a kidnapping may be to obtain money or property, this category is intended to
capture information on the persons actually kidnapped or abducted, not those persons or organizations
paying ransoms.
This offense includes Interference with Parental Custody.
This offense requires a property segment because of the possibility of a ransom being paid. If no ransom
is paid the property should have a Type Loss of “1” (None). If a ransom is requested but not paid the
property should also have a Type Loss of “1” (None).
HINTS TO AVOID COMMON ERRORS
The victim of Interference with Parental Custody is always the child and not the parent.
Property segment must be reported. If no ransom is paid report Type Loss of “1” (None).

million ransom for his safe return. This would be classified as a kidnapping with the amount of money paid for the ransom
listed as property.
Example (2): During his weekend visitation with his children, the suspect decides to leave the state and not return the
children to their mother. This would be reported as an Aggravated Interference with Parental Custody with the children
listed as the victims. Property is required but since no ransom was sought, it should be listed with a Type Loss “1”(None).

be classified as a Burglary and not Theft From a Building or Theft From a Coin Operated Machine.
Example (2): A coca-cola vending machine sits outside on the sidewalk. Sometime early in the morning, a suspect breaks the
locking mechanism and steals the coinbox. This qualifies as Theft From a Coin Operated Machine as no element of Burglary
exists. A Criminal Damage should also be reported for damage to the machine.
REPORTING TIPS FOR THEFT FROM COIN OPERATED MACHINE
Example (1): The victim held a party at her apartment. Before the party started, the victim’s laptop was in her bedroom.

REPORTING TIPS FOR THEFT FROM MOTOR VEHICLE
Kansas State Statutes would classify this offense as a burglary. However, for KIBRS purposes, it
should be reported as a Theft From a Motor Vehicle.
This type of larceny includes thefts from automobiles, trucks, buses, motorcycles, motor homes, or other
recreational vehicles.
This category includes thefts from any area of the motor vehicle, e.g., the trunk, bed of a truck, glove
compartment, or other enclosure.
Some items stolen in this type of theft are cameras, suitcases, clothing, packages, etc., or any items which are
not an integral part of the vehicle.
Do not include items that are automobile accessories if attached or installed onto the vehicle, they fall under
Theft of Motor Vehicle Parts or Accessories.
If a Theft From a Motor Vehicle occurs in conjunction with a Motor Vehicle Theft, the incident will most
often be reported as a Motor Vehicle Theft with the stolen property recorded within the appropriate
property-type categories.
In larceny situations where both motor vehicle parts and accessories and articles from the motor
vehicle are stolen, report the offense resulting in the greatest value of property loss.
Report all of the property stolen.
The premise must be where the vehicle was located at the time of the incident.

the coat accounted for as property stolen in connection with the automobile theft.
Example (2): The victim’s car was broken into and his installed stereo was stolen as well as a briefcase with a laptop
computer. Since the value of the computer was more than the value of the stereo; this offense should be classified as Theft
From a Motor Vehicle and NOT BURGLARY TO A MOTOR VEHICLE.

ROBBERY (Crimes Against Property)
NIBRS OFFENSE CODE 120
The taking, or attempting to take, anything of value under confrontational
circumstances from the control, custody, or care of another person by force or threat of
force or violence and / or by putting the victim in fear of immediate harm.
REPORTING TIPS FOR ROBBERY
Robbery involves the offender taking or attempting to take something of value from the victim, aggravated by
the element of force or threat of force. The victim, who usually is the owner or person having custody of the
property, is directly confronted by the perpetrator and is threatened with force or is put in fear that force will be
used.
If there is no direct confrontation and the victim is not in fear of immediate harm, Extortion should be reported.
Cases involving pretended weapons or where the weapon is not seen by the victim, but the robber claims to
possess one, are also classified as Robbery and the alleged
weapon should be reported. If an immediate “on-
view” arrest proves that there was no weapon, the offense is classified as Robbery, but the weapon is reported as
“99” (None).
An assault should not be reported as a separate crime as long as it was performed in furtherance of the
robbery, because some type of assault is an element of the crime of Robbery, . However, if the injury results in
death, a Homicide offense must also be reported. Exceptions are if one victim was assaulted and another
robbed, an agency would report both robbery and assault due to the different victims.
The “victims” of a robbery include not only those persons and other entities (businesses, financial institutions,
etc.) from whom property was taken (or was attempted to be taken), but also those persons toward whom the
robber (s) directed force or the threat of force in perpetrating the offense. Therefore, an individual victim must
always be listed.
Carjackings are robbery offenses where a motor vehicle is taken through force or threat of force. Report only
the Robbery, not a Motor Vehicle Theft. Do not forget to flag the incident activity code as Carjacking.

Aggravated Assault / Battery Intimidation Simple Assault / Battery All Theft Offenses
Example (1): A gunman enters Kwik Gas and demands the clerk give him all the money in the drawer. The clerk gives
the suspect the cash as ordered after the gunman shows the firearm to the clerk. Report offense of Robbery with
victims of the clerk and Kwik Gas. The cash would be reported as 7 (Stolen).
Example (2): Same scenario as above but the gunman points the firearm at another customer in the store to prevent
the customer from using her cell phone to dial 911. In this event, the customer would be added as a third victim along

Aggravated Assault

ammonia
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 55
FAILURE TO APPEAR
PROBATION AND PAROLE VIOLATIONS
In order to provide accurate information on crime rates it is important for agencies arresting individuals on contempt of
court, failure to appear, probation violations, parole violations and worthless check violations to ensure they are only
reporting those arrests that they should be reporting. The agency that is considered the “holder” of the warrant will be
the agency that is responsible for submitting the arrest report to the IBR Section (the “holder” of the warrant is the
agency that would confirm the warrant to be active).
Example (1): John Doe is arrested by Topeka Police Department on July 4, 2010, for felony driving under the influence
of alcohol. Mr. Doe is released from jail and given the court date of August 18, 2010. Mr. Doe fails to appear on August
18 and a warrant is issued by the Shawnee County District Court on August 23, 2010 for failure to appear. Mr. Doe is
arrested by Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office on October 2, 2010 during a routine traffic stop and found to have a
failure to appear warrant out of Shawnee County. Shawnee County Sheriff’s Office confirms the warrant to be active;
Jefferson County notifies the sheriff’s office they are conducting an arrest. For reporting purposes Shawnee County
should submit the KSAR (using a new case number) since Shawnee County is considered the holder of the warrant.
Jefferson County does not submit the KSAR to the IBR Section.
While a KSAR is required, fingerprints and palmprints are not required to be submitted for these offenses:
Probation Violations
Parole Violations
Contempt of Court
The Records section at KBI will
accept fingerprints/palmprints for the above list.
A KSAR and a fingerprint card is required for failure to appear offenses.
When completing the arrest report for Probation Violations, Parole Violations, Contempt of Court, and
Failure to Appear a new case number should be assigned to the report. These are considered “new offenses”
committed by the offender and are not referred back to the original case.
HINTS TO AVOID COMMON ERRORS
Offender Registration: Failure to Register is a Group B crime. An arrest report is required to be submitted.

6. KANSAS STANDARD OFFENSE REPORT
A Kansas Standard Offense Report (KSOR) is submitted to the KBI for ALL violations of KIBRS Group A Offenses.
When you see “STATE REQUIRED” this means that the field is required on every offense report that is completed. No
offense reports should be submitted with these fields blank.
Once the initial report has been submitted, agencies can modify; add information; or request deletion of a report. To
modify or add information to a report, the agency must submit the corrected report using the same ORI number, case
number and date of offense. The appropriate action should be marked on the upper left side of the form. The action
choices are:
INITIAL – this is a new report being submitted for the first time.
MODIFY – some of the data reported in the initial submission is being changed. For example, the value of a
stolen vehicle was listed at $15,000 and further investigation determined that the value was only $5,000.
ADD – data is being added to the report. For example, the case is being cleared by Exceptional Means or
additional stolen property has been identified.
DELETE – this action is used when a case is unfounded and needs to be removed from the database. A case
can not be deleted because prosecution refuses to charge the offender.
When submitting a request to delete a case, a detailed explanation of the reason for deletion IS REQUIRED. No
case will be deleted unless this is furnished. Electronic agencies have a separate form to request deletions.
If a case has been determined to be unfounded due to a false report being filed by the “victim”, a KSOR
, must
also be submitted to KIBRS reflecting the false report.
Do not use Delete to modify a report. If it is discovered that one of several pieces of property was not stolen, a
modify should be done to the report as opposed to deleting the case. If a suspect should be taken off the report,
submit a modified report. Do not mark Delete. The entire case would then be deleted from the system.
INCIDENT SECTION
An incident section must be completed for each reportable event. This portion of the report uniquely identifies
each criminal incident reported to KIBRS, along with common characteristics of all offenses within each incident,
e.g., the date and hour the incident occurred. If additional pages are required, the ORI number, case number and
date of offense must be indicated on each page completed.
PAGE NUMBER – indicates the number of pages in the report and what page is currently being viewed.
HOW CALL WAS RECEIVED – indicates how the officer was made aware of the incident.
“DISPATCHED” – was assigned the call by the agency dispatch center.
“CITIZEN” – while on routine patrol or while working an assignment the officer was approached
by a citizen with no action being initiated by the dispatch center.
“ON VIEW” – while on routine patrol or while working an assignment the officer viewed the
incident and made the report with no action being initiated by the dispatch center.
NAME OF AGENCY – the name of the agency submitting the report. Do not abbreviate. STATE REQUIRED.
AGENCY ORI NUMBER – the nine-character NCIC Originating Agency Identifier (ORI) number that is
assigned to the reporting agency. Do not abbreviate. STATE REQUIRED.
CASE NUMBER – the number assigned by the reporting agency to uniquely identify a specific incident being
reported. STATE REQUIRED.
59
KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
DATE / TIME OFFENSE STARTED – indicates the date and time of the offense. If the incident occurred at an
unknown time, use the first date / time of the approximate time frame. Use military time. Note: 2400 and 0000
are not valid times in KIBRS. Report the following minute for these times. STATE REQUIRED.
DATE / TIME OFFENSE ENDED – indicates the last date / time of the approximate time frame that an
incident may have occurred. Use military time. Note: 2400 and 0000 are not valid times in KIBRS. Report the
following minute for these times. STATE REQUIRED.
DATE OF REPORT – is the date the incident was reported to law enforcement. Can not be prior to the date of
incident. STATE REQUIRED.
EXCEPTIONAL CLEARANCE DATE – the date it was determined the incident should be cleared by
exceptional means. ONLY INCLUDE THIS DATE IF ASSIGNING AN EXCEPTIONAL CLEARANCE.
EXCEPTIONAL CLEARANCE INDICATOR - The Exceptional Clearance Indicator describes the
circumstances of the exceptional clearance being taken. If no exceptional clearance is being submitted or an
arrest report exists, report as “N” (Not Applicable). STATE REQUIRED.
In KIBRS, the submission of an arrest report in connection with the incident automatically clears all offenses within
that incident. Incidents can likewise be cleared by exceptional means when some element beyond law enforcement
control precludes a physical arrest. Any exceptional clearance in an incident clears all related offenses.
Exceptional
clearances can be made and should be reported under one of the following five circumstances:
“A” – (Death of the Offender) – offender dies after a warrant is obtained but before an arrest was made.
“B” – (Prosecution Declined) – the prosecutor, for other than lack of probable cause, declines to file charges.
“C” – (Extradition Denied) – the offender is prosecuted by state or local authorities in another city and an
attempt is made to return the offender for prosecution, but the other jurisdiction will not allow the release.
“D” – (Victim Refuses to Testify) – the prosecutor declines to file charges because the victim refuses to
cooperate. This should seldom have matching incident and exceptional clearance dates. This does not include the
victim refusing to cooperate with law enforcement.
“E” – (Juvenile / No Custody) – the handling of a juvenile without taking him / her into custody or seeking
prosecution in any manner but rather by giving notification to the parents or legal guardian. Kansas does not
allow prosecution for individuals under 10 years old. This code would be used for those juveniles.
“N” – (Not Applicable) – case is not being cleared by exceptional means.
In a multiple-offense incident, the exceptional clearance of one offense clears the entire incident. An incident cannot
be cleared exceptionally if anyone
was arrested in connection with the incident. (The incident has already been
“cleared by arrest”.)
In order to clear an offense by exceptional means, EACH of the following four conditions MUST be met:
1. The investigation must have clearly and definitely established the identity of at least one offender.
2. Sufficient probable cause must have been developed to support the arrest, charging, and prosecution of the
offender.
3. The exact location of the offender must be known so that an arrest could be made.
4. There must be a reason outside the control of law enforcement that prevents the arrest.
Instances may occur when an offender already in custody or serving a sentence confesses to an uncleared crime. This
situation is actually a variation of a true clearance by arrest and should not be exceptionally cleared. Arrestee data
should be reported on the offender who, although not “apprehended,” will be prosecuted on the new charge.
CASE NUMBERS
Case numbers are essential to retrieving offense and arrest reports. Please use a consistent format when assigning and
reporting case numbers. The KIBRS system views case number 07-001 as a different case than 07001. An arrest report sent
in for case 07001 will not clear 07-001.
60
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition
It is recognized that internal policy in various law enforcement agencies permits the discontinuance of an
investigation and the administrative closing of cases when all productive investigation has been completed. The
administrative closing of a case or the “clearing” of it by departmental policy does not permit exceptionally
clearing an offense unless all four criteria listed on page 55 have been met.
The recovery of property does not clear a case for KIBRS purposes.
These fields regarding suspect are required in order to take an exceptional clearance.
If any of these identifiers are not known, an exceptional clearance may not be used.
Name
Race
Sex
Date of Birth
Example (1): Two suspects are wanted in connection with a homicide. One suspect is arrested just hours following the
offense. The second suspect is discovered two days later barricaded in a house. Before he could be apprehended he
took his own life. Since this case was already cleared through the arrest of the first suspect, NO EXCEPTIONAL
CLEARANCE may be taken.
Example (2): The suspect of a liquor store robbery is identified by the owner of the store as the man lying on the floor
with a gunshot wound to the head. The suspect is pronounced dead at the scene. The robbery may be cleared by
exceptional means using Death of the Offender.
Example (3): When arriving at the scene of a domestic disturbance, the reporting officer is told by the victim that she
does not wish to pursue charges against her boyfriend. An exceptional clearance would not be warranted unless the
prosecutor decides not to file charges (prior to an arrest being made) because the victim refuses to cooperate. The
offense report should still be submitted as it was known by law enforcement to have happened.
61
KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
LOCATION OF OFFENSE – where the offense occurred. This information will be used for geographical mapping
of crime occurrences. A location of offense must be provided on the KSOR. STATE REQUIRED. The format is:
217 1/2 N Broadway ST W APT 21 Topeka KS 66614
Digital Number of address
Structure Address Suffix
Primary Street Directional
Street Name
Street Type
Secondary Street Directional
Occupancy Code

The full address is preferred. However, KIBRS accepts that full addresses are not always possible.
KIBRS will accept crossroads or hundred blocks of streets. Always provide the City, State, and Zip
Code.
When an offense occurs on a state highway or interstate, the following format should be used:
Direction of Travel (in the Street Direction field)
Nearest mile marker (in the Street Name field)
Highway or Interstate Number (in the Street Name field)
City, State, Zip Code-required
Do not “make up” an address for reporting purposes.
VALID STREET TYPES:
Avenue AVE Junction JCT

TIME REPORTED – the time the incident was reported to the local law enforcement agency.
TIME ARRIVED – the time the officer arrived at the location of the incident or met with the reporting party.
TIME CLEARED – the time the officer cleared from the location of the incident or completed the interview with the
reporting party.
62
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition
OFFENSE SECTION
The following information and requirements apply to each offense within every incident. Since all Group A offenses
occurring in an incident are to be reported, care must be taken to identify each and every offense committed in an incident.
Information on at least one offense must be included in each Kansas Standard Offense Report (KSOR) submitted.
OFFENSE NUMBER – identifies a specific offense included in the incident. Record each offense violation only once
even though there may have been more than one victim per offense. STATE REQUIRED.
The KSOR provides space for entering data for two statute violations. If more than two statute
violations are reported, additional KSOR (page one) or Supplemental KSOR forms must be
completed. Offenses are numbered sequentially beginning with one.
STATUTE NUMBER (Chapter, Section, Sub1, Sub2, Sub3) – uniquely identifies the Kansas statute reported as a
violation in a specific incident. At least one statute violation is required for each offense report. The minimum information
reported is the Chapter and Section. Some statutes are identified with sub-sections. When one of these statutes is violated,
Sub1 and Sub2 fields should be completed. STATE REQUIRED.
ATTEMPTED / COMPLETED – indicates whether the statute violation being reported was Attempted or Completed.
An attempted crime is a violation of K.S.A. 21-3301 but is reported through the use of this data element. STATE
REQUIRED.
Example (1): Offenders attempted to kidnap two men. One man struggled and was able to escape. The other was
abducted. Since one kidnapping was completed, the offense data would indicate Completed.
AID or ABETTING / CONSPIRACY / SOLICITATION – is used to indicate whether an offense is prefixed by
“Aiding or Abetting”, “Conspiracy to Commit” or “Solicitation to Commit.” An Aid / Abetting, Conspiracy, or
Solicitation crime is a violation of K.S.A. 21-3303a, 21-3302, and 21-3303 respectively. However, it is reported through
the use of this data element. One selection is allowed for each state statute violation cited. It is not necessary to add the
statute in a second offense section. If the offense does not include one of these elements, leave this section blank.
DESCRIPTION – is the Kansas State Statutes Annotated Description of the offense listed. STATE REQUIRED.
Statute File Releases
The KCJIS Statute File is released at least twice annually through the KBI. The latest version may be
downloaded from the KCJIS website: https://www.kcjis.state.ks.us/Information/Services/services.asp
. The
download is found at the bottom of the page. This is not the file used to update the KBI software, CJIS Law.
Typically these updates are released in August and January.
CJIS Law users must manually update the system with the help of a Program Consultant at 785-296-8278.
Electronic agencies must update their KIBRS Gateway at the time of the Statute file release. Directions are
emailed to the agency contact(s) on file and an Administrative message is sent via KCJIS
63
KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
PREMISE CODES
The Premise Code records the type of location or premise where the offense took place. STATE REQUIRED.
Valid Premise Codes:
“01” (Parking Lot / Parking Garage) “25” (Department / Discount Store)
“02” (City Street) “26” (Grocery / Supermarket)
“03” (Alley) “27” (Specialty Store)
“04” (Highway) “28” (Mall Commons)
“05” (Rural Road) “29” (Liquor Store)
“06” (Vacant City Lot) “30” (Tavern / Nightclub / Bar)
“07” (Abandoned Residential Structure) “32” (Restaurant)
“08” (Single Residence) includes attached garage “33” (Hotel / Motel / Inn)
“09” (Duplex / Individual Multiple Housing Units) “34” (Air / Bus or Train Terminal)
“10” (Apartment / Complex) “35” (Rental Storage Facility / Warehouse)
“11” (Nursing Home / Intermediate Care Facility) “36” (Park Buildings or Shelters)
“12” (Dormitory / Sorority / Fraternity) 37” (Park Trails / Outdoor Recreational Areas)
“13” (College / University / Proprietary School) “38” (Fields / Woods)
“14” (Public / Private Primary or Secondary School) “39” (Oil Fields)
“15” (Church / Synagogue / Temple) “40” (Lake / Waterway / River)
“16” (Government / Tax Payer Funded Building) “41” (Construction Site)
“17” (Jail / Prison / Attention Centers) “43” (Temporary Structures) i.e., barn, trailer at
“18” (Hospital) construction site, detached storage shed
“19” (Drug Store / Doctors Office including Veterinarian) “44” (Casinos)
“20” (Bank / Savings & Loan / Credit Union) “45” (Recreational Facility) i.e. gym, health / country
club “21” (Automatic Teller Machine-ATM) “46” (Car Wash)
“22” (Commercial Business / Office Building) “99” (Other)
“23” (Service / Gas Station) not inc. convenience store
“24” (Convenience Store)
IMPORTANT REPORTING TIPS REGARDING PREMISE CODES
An assault started in a bar, continued into an adjoining parking lot, and ended in the street. As the bar was the
location where the offense was initiated and best describes the circumstances of the crime, “30” – (Tavern /
Nightclub / Bar) should be reported.
Parking Lot should be used ONLY when the premise’s sole purpose is parking. For example, a city lot used
for downtown parking. However, if a parking lot is connected to a structure with its own premise code that
premise should be reported.
If a business can be classified as more than one premise, use the premise code that most accurately reflects its
primary purpose. For example, Wal-Mart should be listed as “25” (Department / Discount Store) and NOT
(Grocery / Supermarket). A gas drive off from a convenience store should be reported as “24” (Convenience
Store) and NOT “23” (Service / Gas Station).
Vehicles are no longer a valid premise code. Report where the vehicle was located. For example, if a car is
broken into while parked in an apartment complex parking lot you should report “10” (Apartment /
Complex).
64
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition
HATE BIAS MOTIVATION CODES
The object of the collection of this data is to indicate whether the offender was motivated to commit the offense because
of his / her bias against a group of people based on their race, religious beliefs, disability, ethnic / national origin, or sexual
-orientation. Because of the difficulty of ascertaining the offender’s subjective motivation, bias is to be reported only if
investigation reveals sufficient objective facts to lead a reasonable and prudent person to conclude that the
offender’s actions were motivated, in whole or in part, by bias. STATE REQUIRED.
The specific types of bias to be reported are:
Racial Bias Sexual Orientation Bias
“11” (Anti – White) “41” (Anti – Male Homosexual) Gay
“12” (Anti – Black) “42” (Anti – Female Homosexual) Lesbian
“13” (Anti – American Indian / Alaskan Native) “43” (Anti – Homosexual) Gays and Lesbians
“14” (Anti – Asian / Pacific Islander) “44” (Anti – Heterosexual)
“15” (Anti – Multi - Racial Group) “45” (Anti – Bisexual)
Religious Bias Ethnicity / National Origin Bias
“21” (Anti – Jewish) “32” (Anti – Hispanic)
“22” (Anti – Catholic) “33” (Anti – Other Ethnicity / National Origin)
“23” (Anti – Protestant)
“24” (Anti – Islamic) Muslim Disability Bias
“25” (Anti – Other Religion) “51” (Anti – Physical Disability)
“26” (Anti – Multi–Religious Group) “52” (Anti – Mental Disability)
“27” (Anti – Atheism / Agnosticism)
None / Unknown
“88” (None) no bias
“99” (Unknown) Officer believes a hate bias was involved but the type is unknown. This would be VERY rare.
If no hate bias is suspected, the code “88” (None) must be reported.
Example (1): While driving through a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood, a black male stopped his car to
repair a flat tire. A group of Hispanic males leaving a bar across the street accosted the driver and then attacked
him with bottles and clubs. During the attack, the offenders called the victim by a well-known and recognized
epithet used against blacks and told him that blacks were not welcome in the neighborhood. This incident would
be reported as “12” (Anti-Black) because the victim and offenders are of different races, the offenders used a
racial epithet, and the facts reveal no other reason for the attack than the stated one, i.e., to keep blacks out of the
neighborhood.
Example (2): A white juvenile male snatched a Jewish woman’s purse, and in doing so, knocked her down and
called her by a well-known and recognized epithet used against Jews. The offender’s identity is not known. It is
not known whether he belongs to another religious group or whether his motive was nothing more than robbery.
Because the facts are ambiguous, agencies should not report this incident as bias motivated.
Example (3): A gay Asian male finds the words “I hate you people” spray painted on his front door. It is known
that a hate bias exists but the exact type is unclear. The hate bias code “99” (Unknown) should be reported.

NUMBER OF PREMISES ENTERED this information is recorded only if the offense is Burglary and the location
is a “Hotel / Motel / Inn” or “Rental Storage Facility.” In such cases, the number of structures (premises) entered is to be
reported. Include the total number of individual rooms, units, suites, storage compartments, etc., entered. (See page 16 for
more details.) This is a state required field when reporting a Burglary to a Hotel / Motel / Inn / Rental Storage Facility.
HINTS TO AVOID COMMON ERRORS
Do not use room number or storage number.
Leave this field blank if the burglary occurs at a personal residence or other structure outside the
Hotel / Motel / Storage Unit Rule.
Example (1): A self-storage building was burglarized and 11 rented storage compartments were forcibly entered. The
owner / manager of the building reported the incident to police. Since the offense was Burglary and the location a rental
storage facility, the 11 compartments entered should be reported as one incident. The Number of Premises Entered should
state “11”.
Example (2): Three units in an apartment building are broken into. These crimes should be reported by the tenants as
separate incidents and while a burglary will be submitted, the Number of Premises Entered field should be left blank.
METHOD OF ENTRY – is used for reporting whether “F” (Force) or “N” (No Force) was used by the suspect(s) to enter
a structure. This is a state required field when reporting a burglary.
An unforced entry involves unlawful entry through an unlocked door or window. The element of trespass to the structure
is essential in this classification, which includes thefts from open garages and warehouses, open or unlocked dwellings,
and open or unlocked common basement areas in apartment houses (where entry is by someone other than by the tenant
who has lawful access.) If the structures entered were ones of open access, thefts from the premises would not involve an
unlawful trespass and would be reported as larceny.
A forced entry is where a mechanical contrivance of any kind is used to unlawfully enter a structure for the purpose of
committing a theft or felony. This act includes entry by use of tools; breaking windows, doors, transoms, or ventilators;
cutting screens, walls, or roofs; and where known, the use of master keys
, picks, unauthorized keys, celluloid, or other
devices which leave no outward mark but are used to force a lock. Burglary by concealment inside a building followed by
an exiting of the structure after the theft is included in this category.
If both forcible and nonforcible entries were involved in the crime, the offense should be reported as
having been accomplished through force.
TYPE OF THEFT – identifies the type of theft occurring during an incident. This data element is specific to KIBRS
because the Kansas Statutes for theft cannot be used to determine the NIBRS larceny/theft offense categories. This is a
state required field when reporting larceny / theft.
Valid codes are:
“A” (Theft of Motor Vehicle Parts or Accessories) “N” (Not Applicable)
“B” (Theft from Building) “O” (All Other)
“E” (Embezzlement) “P” (Pick-Pocket)
“F” (Theft from a Motor Vehicle) “S” (Purse–Snatching)
“L” (Shoplifting) “T” (Possession of Stolen Property)
“M” (Theft from a Coin Operated Machine or Device) “V” (Motor Vehicle Theft)
Note: See offense definitions for more information.
67
KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
OFFENDER SUSPECTED OF USING – indicates whether any of the offenders in the incident were suspected of
consuming alcohol or using drugs / narcotics during or shortly before the incident. It also reflects any use of computer
equipment to perpetrate the crime. Any or all of the three categories can be reported. STATE REQUIRED.
Any crime committed through the use of a computer should indicate “Computer Equipment”
in this field.
Example (1): Witnesses to an assault reported that the victim and the offender were in a bar drinking beer when
an argument broke out, and the offender attacked the victim with a knife. The report should indicate the Offender
Suspected of Using “Alcohol”.
Example (2): A rape victim advised that her attacker bragged that he had been “freebasing” cocaine just prior to
the incident. The report should read the Offender Suspected of Using “Drugs / Narcotics.”
Example (3): A victim reported that his credit card had been used to purchase over $10,000 worth of office
furniture over the internet. The report should indicate the offender was suspected of using “Computer
Equipment”.
TYPE OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY
TYPE OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY - is required for the offense categories of:
Counterfeiting / Forgery Pornography / Obscene Material
Drugs / Narcotics & Equipment Violations Stolen Property Offenses
Gambling Equipment Violations Weapon Law Violations
The Criminal Activity codes for these offenses are:
“B” (Buying and Receiving) “O” Operating / Promoting / Assisting
“C” (Cultivating / Manufacturing / Publishing) “P” Possessing / Concealing
“D” (Distributing / Selling) “T” Transporting / Transmitting / Importing
“E” (Exploiting Children) “U” Using / Consuming
Up to three types of criminal activity can be reported for one offense. Please choose the most severe applicable
before choosing lesser criminal Activities, i.e. reporting cultivation instead of using/consuming.
TYPE OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY is to be used to provide gang information in incidents involving:
Aggravated Assault / Battery Kidnapping / Abduction
Forcible Fondling Murder and Nonnegligent Manslaughter
Forcible Rape Negligent Homicide
Forcible Sodomy Robbery
Intimidation Simple Assault / Battery
The Criminal Activity codes for gang involvement are:
“G” Other Gang
“J” Juvenile Gang
“N” None / Unknown
Gang related should be used if the individual (s) were acting on behalf of the gang. A known gang member involved
in a domestic dispute outside the gang would not constitute Gang related.
Example (1): The offenders published and sold pornographic photographs they took of children. Because up
to three types of activity can be reported, “C” (Cultivating / Manufacturing / Publishing / Producing); and
“E” (Exploiting Children) should be recorded.
Example (2): Two males, aged 19, were on bicycles riding through a neighborhood when they were attacked.
Each of the attackers had identical tattoos on their upper arm. This marking was commonly associated with a
local gang. The entry should be: “G” (Other Gang).
68
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition
LOCAL CODE – is for the local law enforcement agency to record any local code, city or county ordinance number
pertaining to the offense.
TYPE OF WEAPON OR FORCE INVOLVED – up to three types of weapons / force used by the offender in
committing certain crimes can be recorded. If the weapon was an automatic firearm, “Automatic” along with the firearm
type is reported.
Type of Force or Weapon is required for the offense categories of:
Aggravated Assault / Battery Murder and Non-negligent Manslaughter
Extortion / Blackmail Negligent Homicide
Forcible Fondling Robbery
Forcible Sodomy Simple Assault / Battery
Forcible Rape Intimidation
Justifiable Homicide Weapon Law Violations
Kidnapping / Abduction
An automatic weapon is defined as any firearm, which shoots, or is designed to shoot, more than
one shot at a time by a single pull of the trigger without manual reloading. The weapon must be
fully automatic.
When reporting weapons used, select the most specific weapon-type listed, e.g., a revolver should
be reported as “12” (Handgun) rather than “11” (Firearm). If a weapon was used that could be
employed in several ways, choose the weapon-type that indicates how the weapon was used. For
example, if a bottle was used in the commission of a murder, report “30” (Blunt Object) if the victim
was beaten or “20” (Knife / Cutting Instrument) if the victim was stabbed.
If a victim is attacked from behind and does not know what weapon was used, report “95” -
Unknown.
Asphyxiation includes the use of gas and requires the victim to lose consciousness. The injury code
would then be reported as “U”-Loss of consciousness.
Valid codes are:
“11” Firearm (type not stated)
“11A” Automatic Firearm (type not stated)
“12” Handgun
“12A” Automatic Handgun
“13” Rifle
“13A” Automatic Rifle

KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
VICTIM SECTION
Victim data are collected to describe the victim (s) involved in the incident. A separate set of victim data is to be
submitted for each of the victims involved in the incident. There must be at least one set of victim data reported.
VICTIM SEQUENCE NUMBER – each victim in an incident is to be assigned a sequence number from 001 to 999.
A separate set of victim data is to be submitted for each numbered victim. The sequence numbers provide uniqueness
when there are multiple victims. STATE REQUIRED.
Some assault situations can pose difficulties in distinguishing victims. If a number of persons are
involved in a dispute or disturbance and law enforcement investigation cannot establish the aggressors
from the victims, record all persons involved as both victims and offenders.
TYPE OF VICTIM – the type of victim is to be reported for each numbered victim. STATE REQUIRED.
Only one of the following types is to be reported for each victim:
“B” (Business) “O” (Other / Non-profit)
F” (Financial Institution) “R” (Religious Organization)
“G” (Government) “S” (Society)
I” (Individual) “U” (Unknown) only used when victim is unknown
Example (1): A law enforcement officer’s house is broken into and his personal guns are stolen. The victim type
should be “I” (Individual) as it was his private home that was burglarized.
Example (2): A law enforcement officer’s police car is damaged by spray paint. The type of victim should be
“G” (Government) as it is a government agency that owns the vehicle.
Example (3): A private Catholic university is the victim of an embezzlement. The victim would be “R” (Religious
Organization).
VICTIM CONNECTED TO OFFENSE NUMBER – for each victim, report up to the 10 most serious offenses
which were perpetrated against him / her, a business, government or society during the incident. STATE
REQUIRED.
Each incident reported must have a victim and each victim must be related to an offense. Every victim
may not be affected by each offense within an incident. Report for each victim only those offenses
affecting him or her.
Example (1): Two victims, victim 001 and victim 002, were robbed and victim 001 was raped. Report both
Robbery and Rape for victim 001. Only Robbery should be reported for victim 002.

If the city listed on the victim’s mailing address is the same as the city on the mailing address for the location
of offense, the victim should be classified as resident.
Concerning university / college campuses, only persons living “on campus” (i.e., in dormitories, etc.) would
be considered “residents,” if victimized within the confines of the school property and the crime is reported
by campus law enforcement agency.
This category is not intended to reflect immigration residency status.
72
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition
Example (1): The victim of a forgery that occurred in Manhattan is a resident of Topeka. His residency status would be
“N” (Non-Resident).
Example (2): The victim of a rape that occurred in Bonner Springs is also a resident of Bonner Springs. Therefore, her
residency status is “R” (Resident).
Example (3): The victim of a homicide that occurred in rural Leavenworth County (Easton) is a resident of the City of
Leavenworth. The Leavenworth County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the homicide and should report the residency status of
the victim as “N” (Non-Resident) since the city the crime occurred in is not the same as the city where the victim lives
(Leavenworth).
VICTIM AGE - if the victim is a person (Individual), his / her age (at the time of the incident) is to be reported either as an
exact age, a range of years, or on a very rare occasion as unknown. An age is required for each

If the victim has been identified, KIBRS requires the reporting of identifying data. In these situations
“unknown” is not an acceptable submission and the reporting agency will need to correct the information.
74
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition
CIRCUMSTANCES OF A REPORTED AGGRAVATED ASSAULT / BATTERY, HOMICIDE, OR
JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE - the circumstances surrounding the Aggravated Assaults and Homicide Offenses are to be
reported for EACH
victim.
Selection of circumstances should be based on information known to law enforcement; not decisions of a
grand jury, coroner’s inquest, or other agency outside law enforcement. Always select the most descriptive
circumstances as determined by investigation.
Child abuse reports are classified as an aggravated assault / battery and also require a circumstance code.
Up to two (2) of the following can be recorded for each AGGRAVATED ASSAULT
and / or MURDER / NON-
NEGLIGENT MANSLAUGHTER victim:
“01” (Argument)
“02” (Assault on Law Enforcement Officer (s))

Select one (1) of the following for each NEGLIGENT MANSLAUGHTER victim:
“30” (Child Playing with Weapon)
“31” (Gun-cleaning Accident)
“32” (Hunting Accident)
“33” (Other Negligent Weapon Handling)
“34” (Other Negligent Killings)
Keep in mind traffic fatalities, accidental deaths, or deaths of victims due to their own negligence are not to

manslaughter regardless of prosecution action
.
Select one (1) of the following for each JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE victim:
“20” (Criminal Killed by Private Citizen)
“21” (Criminal Killed by Law Enforcement Officer)

As only one category can be reported, the most descriptive should be selected.
75
KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
VICTIM’S RELATIONSHIP TO CORRESPONDING SUSPECT NUMBER (INDICATE ALL SUSPECTS) -
along with Relationship of Victim to Suspect, the sequence number is used to link victims to suspects who have
perpetrated a Crime Against Person (Assault, Homicide, Kidnapping / Abduction, Forcible Sex Offense and
Nonforcible Sex Offense) and / or a Robbery.
These same sequence numbers must be used to identify the same suspects in the Suspect Section of the KSOR.
There should be as many relationship codes as there are victims to suspects.
Using the suspect numbers assigned, report the relationship of each
victim to each suspect listed. Relationships to be
reported are:
Within the Family
“SE” Victim is Spouse
“CS” Victim is Common-Law Spouse
“PA” Victim is Parent
“SB” Victim is Sibling
“CH” Victim is Child
“GP” Victim is Grandparent
“GC” Victim is Grandchild
“IL” Victim is In-Law

“CW” Victim is Co-Worker
“OK” Victim is Otherwise Known
“VO” Victim is Offender
“RM” Victim is Roommate

The category “VO” (Victim is Offender) is to be used in cases where participants in the incidents were victims and
offenders such as domestic disputes where both husband and wife are charged with assault / battery; double murders
(i.e., two people kill each other; or bar room brawls where many participants are arrested).
When reporting this data, keep in mind that the relationship requested is that of the victim to the offender.
76
Suspect 1 Named “A” Suspect 1 Named “B”
Victim 1 Named “A”
Victim 2 Named “B”
VO-Victim is Offender
SE-Spouse

Example (1): The following property was reported stolen as the result of a burglary to a single residence: (1) a
$200 Zune player; (2) a personal data assistant worth $600; and (3) a Blackberry phone worth $250. A double
door was torn from its hinges and crushed during the entry, damage to the door was $600. Item (1) the Zune
player would have a property code of “0627” (MP3 Player); item (2) the PDA would have a property code of
“0628” (Personal Data Asst), and item (3) the Blackberry would have a property code of “0611” (Telephone/
Cell Phone) since its primary purpose is that of a telephone. The code for the damage to the door would be listed
as “1201” (Single Occupancy Dwelling). The property description should read ”entry door”.
Example (2): Over $5,000 worth of copper wire was stolen from an electric company substation. This property
should be listed as “0222” (Copper) since the primary purpose of the theft was the value of copper and not the
wire itself.
Example (3): A handicap placard is stolen from the victim’s 2006 Buick LaCrosse. The property code should be
reported as “1159” (License Plate / Handicap Placard). The value would be listed as $1.
Example (4): Fishing rods and tackle were stolen from the back of the victim’s 1972 Chevy truck. Both the rods
and tackle should be reported using code “1180” (Sports / Recreational Equipment).
Property Description / Suspected Drug Type - is used to describe the item or items reported burned, counterfeited /
forged, destroyed / damaged / vandalized, recovered, seized or stolen. STATE REQUIRED FOR OFFENSES
REQUIRING PROPERTY.
Example (1): A bedroom set is reported stolen during a residential burglary. The bed for this set can be described
as an “Ethan Allen cherry wood queen size canopy bed”.
Example (2): Eight marijuana plants are seized during a drug raid. The plants can be described as suspected
“marijuana plants growing in 5 gallon plastic paint containers”.
ESTIMATED QUANTITY - is used to indicate the number of items reported under one property or drug code. Since no
monetary value is to be reported when drugs are seized, in order to obtain some measure of the drug problem, the
“Estimated Quantity
of seized drugs or narcotics is to be reported for each Drug / Narcotic Violation where drugs are
seized. STATE REQUIRED FOR OFFENSES REQUIRING PROPERTY.
Example (1): Five packs of Marlboro cigarettes are reported stolen out of a vehicle. The cigarettes can be listed
one time with a quantity of five (5).
Example (2): Eight marijuana plants are seized during a drug raid. The estimated quantity reported would be
eight (8).
81
KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
FRACTION - indicates a fraction measurement of an estimated quantity of a drug seized.
Example (1): A trace amount of heroin is seized during a drug raid. The estimated quantity would be listed in
the Fraction field as (.001).
Example (2): In a drug case, 1-1/2 kilograms of “crack” was seized. This should be reported as “1” in
Estimated Quantity and “.5” in Fraction.
TYPE DRUG MEASUREMENT - indicates the drug quantity measurement.
Measurements can be made in the following categories:
“GM” Gram “ML” Milliliter
“KG” Kilogram “LT” Liter
“OZ” Ounce “FO” Fluid Ounce
“LB” Pound “GL” Gallon
“DU” Dosage Unit (number of capsules, pills, tablets) “NP” Number of Plants (e.g. marijuana plants, bushes)
PROPERTY VALUE - The total dollar value of the property which was reported burned, stolen, destroyed, etc., as a
result of the incident is reported in this field. All values are rounded to the nearest dollar. Refer back to the property code
list to see which properties have a reported value of 0. For property requiring value, it must be at least $1. It is
understood that items can be valued under $1. STATE REQUIRED FOR OFFENSES REQUIRING PROPERTY.
There is no requirement to list the value of any drugs / narcotics “seized” in a Drug / Narcotic Violation.
However, when drugs are involved in other types of crime (e.g., they were stolen in a burglary or burned in
an arson) their value is to be reported.
When reporting drug paraphernalia, a property value IS REQUIRED. A property value should be estimated
to the best value possible.
Guidelines for Property Valuation
Questions frequently arise as to how to evaluate property involved in a criminal incident. The following
guidelines are suggested:
1. Use fair market value for articles that are subject to depreciation because of wear and tear, age, or other
factors that cause the value to decrease with use.
2. Use cost to the merchant (wholesale cost) of goods recovered, seized, stolen, etc., from retail establishments,
warehouses, etc. In other words, use the dollar value representing the actual cash loss to the victim without
any markup or profit added.
3. Use victim’s valuation of items such as jewelry, watches, and other similar goods that decrease in value
slightly or not at all with use or age.
4. Use replacement cost or actual cash cost to victim for new or almost new clothes, auto accessories, bicycles,
etc.
5. When the victim obviously exaggerates the value of stolen / destroyed / damaged property for insurance or
other purposes, common sense and good judgment will dictate a fair market value to be placed on the stolen
items by law enforcement.
HINTS TO AVOID COMMON ERRORS
The theft of non-negotiable instruments such as traveler’s checks, personal checks, money orders, stocks,
bonds, food stamps, etc., should be reported with a value of $0.
Negotiable instruments such as bonds payable to the bearer, etc., are valued at the current market price at
the time of the theft, seizure, etc.
Values should be rounded to the nearest whole dollar.
82
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition
Often the condition of the property is different at recovery than it was when stolen. The market
value at the time of recovery should be used even though it is less than the value reported at the
time of theft.
An agency should only report the value of property stolen in its jurisdiction. Likewise, the
value of property recovered will include only property originally stolen in its own jurisdiction. It
does not matter who recovers the stolen property; the jurisdiction from which the property was
stolen would report the value of the recovery. This procedure applies to all stolen property, in-
cluding motor vehicles. Some agencies find it valuable, of course, to maintain separate records
DATE RECOVERED - when previously stolen property is recovered, the month, day and year of its recovery is
reported in this field. If the recovery date is unknown, record the date of the report. STATE REQUIRED FOR
OFFENSES REQUIRING PROPERTY.
PROPERTY TOTAL - the total value of property as determined by the agency is listed in this field.

Uninhabited means the area surrounding the crime that has vacant land that is all natural and is
not used for residential, farming, raising livestock or commercial purposes.
Example (1): A robbery is reported at a convenience store that is located in the middle of a residential
neighborhood. The premise neighborhood would be recorded as “S” (Suburban / Residential). The premise code
would be “24” (Convenience Store).
Example (2): A burglary is reported at a warehouse in an industrial park on the outskirts of a community. The
premise neighborhood would be recorded as “B” (Urban / Business / Industrial / Commercial). The premise code
would be “35” (Rental Storage Facility / Warehouse).
Example (3): A murder / suicide is discovered at the El Dorado State Lake. The premise neighborhood would be
recorded as “U” (Uninhabited). The premise code would be “40” (Lake / Waterway). The, suicide is not reported

Removed From Premise) would be recorded in the safe entered field.
Example (2): A robbery is reported at a convenience store, the store has a safe that the suspects are aware of
but they do not ask the victim to open the safe. The code of “2” (Safe Not Entered) would be recorded in the
safe entered field.
Example (3): A suspect is arrested at Wal-Mart for shoplifting. Since there is a safe on the premises, this should
be recorded as “2” (Safe Not Entered).
84
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition
INCIDENT ACTIVITY - records the circumstance of an incident deemed by the Attorney General to be of special interest.
STATE REQUIRED.

“D” (Domestic Violence Without Children Present)
“J” (Carjacking)
“G” (Gang Related)
“S” (Drive by Shooting)

HINTS TO AVOID COMMON ERRORS
The only way the system recognizes the incident as domestic is if this field is reported correctly.
Any subsequent arrest should also be flagged as domestic violence.
“C” (Children Present) means anyone under the age of 18 that is NOT a victim or suspect in the incident. The
child does not have to be in the same room as the incident, just at the location.
Any incident involving carjacking should use this section to signify the robbery was a carjacking.
SUSPECT SECTION
Suspect (offender) data include characteristics of each offender involved in a crime incident whether or not an arrest has
been made. There are instances where no information about perpetrators is known. The object is to capture any information
known to law enforcement concerning suspects even though they may not have been identified. Make every effort to
provide any suspect identifiers, no matter how small. This includes suspect vehicles.
SUSPECT (SEQUENCE) NUMBER - each suspect in the incident is to be assigned a sequence number from “01” to “99.”
A separate set of suspect data is to be submitted for each numbered suspect. Electronic agencies would report “00” for
unknown suspect. STATE REQUIRED.
SUSPECT NAME - is used to list the last, first and middle name of the suspect. If only a portion of the name such as the
first name is known, it should still be listed. REQUIRED WHEN KNOWN.
SUSPECT ADDRESS - is used to list the address or possible address of a suspect. REQUIRED WHEN KNOWN.

SUSPECT SEX - the gender of the suspect is to be indicated as:
REQUIRED WHEN KNOWN
“F” (Female)
“M” (Male)
“U” (Unknown)

Federal, state, and county law enforcement agencies should base their determinations of residency on the
town, city, or community where the crime occurred rather than their geographical jurisdictions.
If the city in the mailing address for the suspect is the same city as the mailing address for the location of
offense, the suspect should be classified as resident.
Concerning university / college campuses, only persons living “on campus” (i.e., in dormitories, etc.)
would be considered “residents,” when the crime is reported by campus law enforcement agency.
This category is not intended to reflect immigration residency status.
AGE OF SUSPECT - the age of each numbered suspect is to be reported either as an exact number of years, a range
of years, or as unknown. Record one of the following:
01 to 98 Years Old – report the exact age
99 – Over 98 years old
00 – Unknown (cannot be used in an exceptional clearance)

EVIDENCE SECTION
This section is used by the local agency to trace the type of evidence obtained and the location of the
evidence. The evidence collector is also listed.
DESCRIPTION OF INCIDENT SECTION/NARRATIVE
This section is used to briefly describe the type of offense that was committed, where it was committed
and how it was committed. STATE REQUIRED FOR MANUAL SUBMISSION (PAPER)
AGENCIES.
The more information that is included in this section, the less likely a report will be
returned for additional information.
Always include any unusual facts pertaining to the case in this section to assist with the
proper classification of the offense.
It is acceptable for an agency to create a policy of completing a Kansas Standard
Offense Report for every offense, including Group B offenses. Agencies submitting
manually to the Incident Based Reporting Section are not required to mail any KSOR
reports for Group B crimes, even if a KSOR exists. The IBR Section will not manually
key any KSOR not reporting a Group A crime.
Common Offenses Incorrectly Submitted to the IBR Section
These are the most commonly submitted offenses that are not accepted by Incident Based Reporting.
While a report is not accepted by IBR, the Records Section of the KBI will accept fingerprints and
palmprints. Some of the crimes require mandatory submission of fingerprints and palmprints.
1) Driving While Suspended-requires fingerprints and palmprints
2) No Drivers License
3) Driving While Habitual Violator-requires fingerprints, palmprints and DNA collection
4) Refusal of Preliminary Breath Test
5) Municipal Violations not corresponding to a K.S.A. statute
6) Child In Need of Care (CINC)-Records will not
accept fingerprints/palmprints

7. KANSAS STANDARD ARREST REPORT (KSAR)
A Kansas Standard Arrest Report (KSAR) is submitted for all persons apprehended, summoned, or cited for
the commission of Group A or Group B crimes (except Justifiable Homicide).
It must be remembered that the object of this data set is to collect data on persons arrested
, not on charges lodged. For
example, a person may be arrested on several charges in connection with the same incident; in this situation, only one set
of arrestee data would be reported. Likewise, one person may be arrested many times during a given time span for similar
or different violations within a jurisdiction. Because of a separation of time between the arrests, a set of arrestee data is
to be reported for each separate arrest.
The arrestee data to be reported describes the arrestee (e.g., his / her age, sex, race, etc.) and the circumstances of the
arrest. Data are to be recorded for each of the arrestees involved in each incident. If there were no arrestees, no report is
required. Group A crime incidents will be cleared upon the receipt of the first set of data for any arrestee connected with
an incident.
Record arrest data on all persons processed by arrest, citation
, or summons for committing an offense reported by
the same agency. Include:
1. Those persons arrested and released without a formal charge being placed against them.
(An arrest has occurred when a law enforcement officer detains an individual with the
intention of seeking charges against the persons for specific offense (s).)
2. Juveniles taken into custody or arrested but merely warned and released without being charged.
Arrests by Outside Agency
Arrest data should be reported by the same agency that reported the offense.
If any other agency makes the arrest, the KSAR information should be forwarded to the originating agency who
in turn should submit the KSAR to KIBRS. This is to avoid any duplication in reporting.
Warrant arrests should also be reported by the agency that reported the initial offense, NOT NECESSARILY
BY THE AGENCY EXECUTING THE WARRANT. (See page 95 for more on warrant arrests.)
Most agencies will maintain a separate record of outside agency assists for administrative use.
93
KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
ADMINISTRATIVE SECTION
Once the initial report has been submitted, agencies may modify; add information; or request deletion of a
report. To modify or add information to a report, the agency must submit the corrected report using the same ORI
number, case number and date of offense and completing those fields that are being changed. The appropriate
action should be marked on the upper left side of the form. The action choices are:
INITIAL
– this is a new report being submitted for the first time.
MODIFY – some of the data reported in the initial submission is being changed. For example, the arrestee
provided an alias name at the time of arrest and his / her legal name has been identified.
ADD – data is being added to the report. For example, through investigation it was found that additional
cases could be cleared by this arrest.
DELETE – this action is used only when a KSAR is submitted incorrectly and no arrest of any kind was made.
This is merely a request to delete the report. Final determination will be made by the KBI after assessing the
information.
ARREST SECTION
ADULT / JUVENILE / DOMESTIC VIOLENCE – indicates the arrest category type. STATE REQUIRED
REPORT ONLY ONE using the following hierarchy:
If the arrest stems from a domestic violence incident, “Domestic Violence” should be reported.
Runaways are no longer submitted as of January 1, 2011.
If the arrest DOES NOT include domestic violence offenses, “Adult” or “Juvenile” should be reported
based on the age of the arrestee.
Remember, it is the entire incident that is considered domestic. If in the midst of a domestic violence
investigation, an offender is arrested for Assault on a LEO this a domestic violence arrest.
PAGE NUMBER – indicates the number of pages in the report and what page is currently being viewed.
NAME OF AGENCY – the name of the agency submitting the report. Do not abbreviate. STATE RE-
AGENCY ORI NUMBER – the nine-character NCIC Originating Agency Identifier (ORI) number that is assigned
to the reporting agency. Do not abbreviate. STATE REQUIRED.
CASE NUMBER – the number assigned by the reporting agency to uniquely identify a specific incident being
reported. STATE REQUIRED.
This number should correspond to the case number from the KSOR. Case number should
be exactly the same on the KSAR as on the KSOR. DO NOT USE WARRANT NUMBERS.
DATE OF ARREST – the month, day, and year the arrest took place. STATE REQUIRED.
94
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition
A Transaction Number (TN) is a unique (non-reusable) number assigned to a series of events that are related to a single
arrest (including NTA issuances and Summons). Those related events are one record transaction termed a “cycle” within
the rap sheet and are used to clearly associate the history of the actions and dispositions that occur as a result of that arrest
or summons.
Transaction Numbers also serve to associate related events within different databases such as the Automated Fingerprint
Identification System (AFIS), the Kansas Computerized Criminal History (CCH) database, and the Kansas Incident Based
Reporting System (KIBRS).
FORMAT
The transaction number is a 12 digit number created by livescan fingerprint capture devices, Records Management System
(RMS) and by the KBI on preprinted KDR forms. All 12 digits denote particular information.
Digit 1 Type of event. 1 = DOC confinement
2 = Civil submissions
3 = Adult arrest
4 = Juvenile arrest
5 = Wanted requests from FBI
6 = Personal request for identification
7 = Not assigned
8 = Not assigned
9 = Not assigned
Digits 2-4 County identifier. 000 for KBI, 001-105 for counties.
Digit 5 Device identifier. A number or letter denoting the device (RMS or
livescan) that generated the TN. This number
is assigned to a given device by the KBI. KBI issued TN’s use the number “1” in this place
Digits 6-7 Calendar year. The last two digits of the year. For example
2007 would be reflected as 07.
Digits 8-12 Sequential number. Allows for 99,999 numbers to be issued per
generating device in a given year.
An example of a livescan or RMS transaction number is 3046A0704523.
3 = Adult arrest
046 = Johnson County
A = Device A
07 = the year 2007
04523 = Sequential Number of the arrest
ARREST TRANSACTION NUMBER – KSAR’s without a transaction number will be returned.
STATE REQUIRED
95
KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
Preprinted Kansas Disposition Reports (KDR’s) bear TN’s that display the Event type of 3 On the Kansas Adult
Disposition Report (KADR) or 4 on the Kansas Juvenile Disposition Report (KJDR), the county identifier of the KBI
(000), the device identifier of 1, and a sequential number that incorporates the digits reserved for the year on the
generated TN.
An example of a preprinted KDR transaction number is 300010054829.
3 = Adult arrest
000 = KBI preprinted form
1 = Device 1
0054829 = Sequential Number of the arrest
ASSIGNMENT OF TRANSACTION NUMBERS
A Transaction Number is assigned:
When an individual is arrested for a felony, class A or B misdemeanor, or a class C assault (Criminal Records
requirement per statute),
When reporting an KSAR through KIBRS, or
Upon fingerprinting for an event in which the subject was issued a summons or notice to appear.
Transaction Numbers are assigned by:
Preprinted Barcoded KDR (KADR and KJDR) forms,
RMS generation of the number using an approved format, or
Livescan generation of the number using an approved format.
Those agencies using CJIS Law provided by the KBI should not be using “Auto Generate Transaction
numbers” unless approved. If an agency is unsure of approval, contact the Incident Based Reporting Unit.
The Barcoded KDR’s (Kansas Disposition Report: KADR and KJDR) forms are used when neither a livescan nor
records management system are used to generate the TN.
The Barcoded KDR or records management system should also be used to generate a TN when:
An offense is reportable to KIBRS but not to CCH.
An NTA or Summons has been issued for an offense reportable to CCH or KIBRS.
An event occurs, such as a probation violation, which must be reported to CCH using the original Transaction
Number, but must be reported to KIBRS using a new TN because it is a new criminal incident for
KIBRS reporting purposes.
An incident is not to be reported to CCH or KIBRS, but the local agency needs a transaction number for their
agency’s reporting purposes only.
Notes:
A Failure to Appear arrest is considered to be a new and separate event from the original offense, and fingerprints
must be submitted regardless of prior submission for the original offense. A new TN should be used for the
fingerprint card and arrest report, along with a new case number.
A probation violation is different for KIBRS and criminal history records. For criminal history records, probation
violations are considered as a continuation of the original offense resulting in the ordered probation period. It does
not require the assignment of a new transaction number or an additional fingerprint submission. For KIBRS reporting
probation violation is considered to be a new event that needs a new transaction number and a new case number.
When issuing an NTA or Summons to a Municipal Court, the agency issuing the NTA or serving the Summons
must prepare a Kansas Standard Arrest Report (KSAR) displaying a TN that may be assigned using a KDR. If the
final disposition results in a conviction in a Municipal Court, the disposition is documented on the fingerprint card
displaying the TN already assigned using the KDR but no KDR is required to be submitted. The information for
conviction is included on the fingerprint card.
96
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition
If the fingerprint submission is prepared via livescan, the formerly issued TN must be reported as an “alternate transaction
number” or the generated TN should be overwritten with the formerly issued TN so it can be matched up to the arrest
report. If actions within Municipal Court do not result in the final disposition of charges, no further action is required
until that final disposition.
If the defendant was issued a NTA or summons for DUI they must be fingerprinted upon first appearance using the same
steps as a NTA or summons. This is a STATE REQUIREMENT as per state statute. The final disposition will then be
reported on the KDR.
When issuing an NTA or Summons to a District Court, the agency issuing the NTA must prepare a KSAR and
may assign a TN by using a KDR. The defendant is fingerprinted upon first appearance. If the fingerprint
submission is prepared via livescan, the formerly issued TN must be reported as an “alternate transaction number”
or the generated TN should be overwritten with the formerly issued TN so it can be matched up to the arrest
report. Final disposition is documented on a KDR.
USE OF TRANSACTION NUMBERS
Transaction Numbers are used:
On the KDR (KADR and KJDR).
On ALL criminal fingerprint cards submitted.
On ALL KSAR’s submitted to KIBRS regardless of whether the offense is reported to CCH.
On any documents that an agency maintains locally and chooses to index using the TN, such as arrest
documentation that is not reportable to CCH or KIBRS.
The field reserved for the TN in the fingerprint card is titled “State Usage” on the front of the fingerprint card to the left of
the Name field (Not the “State Usage” field on the back of the card.).
Only one
TN may appear in the field reserved for the TN on a fingerprint card, KSAR, or KDR, regardless of the number
of charges related to the arrest.
REPORTING ARRESTS
Any subsequent charges filed after the initial arrest, regardless of whether the defendant remains in custody, should be
handled as a new arrest, with the defendant being fingerprinted and a new TN assigned.
A TN is used for only one arrest event and for only one person. Numerous charges may be under one TN and the charges
may pertain to numerous jurisdictions. If the charges pertain to more than one jurisdiction, to include Municipal versus
District Court, the arresting agency should ensure that a copy of the KDR is forwarded to all pertinent entities.
When an agency makes an arrest for another agency’s warrant it is expected that the arresting agency will forward the
transaction number and appropriate paperwork to the originating agency and the fingerprint card to the central repository.
Do not mail the fingerprint card to the originating agency. Do not submit a KSAR to the central repository when assisting
outside agencies. These are not entered. Only the originating agency should submit a KSAR, regardless of which agency
conducted the physical arrest.
OTHER IDENTIFYING NUMBERS –is used to list other numbers that the local agency may use to identify the
arrestee, i.e., local identification number, FBI number, NCIC transaction number, etc.
CAMPUS CODES
The Campus Code is used to identify a college, university, community college, junior college, or vocational school where
an arrest has occurred. STATE REQUIRED IF APPLICABLE.
KBI NUMBER – is the state criminal history identification number assigned to the individual. This field may be left
blank, if the number is unknown to the arresting agency.

TYPE OF ARREST – describes the type of apprehension at the time of initial contact with the arrestee. STATE
REQUIRED.
Report one
of the following:
On-View Arrest
– offender is placed into custody without a warrant or previous incident. It may be
easier to think of this as an On-Scene arrest. The subject is still at the scene of the
crime, and very little time has passed.
Example (1): an officer is called to a nightclub because of a domestic disturbance. When he arrives he notices a
female with a red mark on her face and a bloody lip. Upon interviewing her and her husband he arrests the hus-
band for domestic battery. This arrest would be classified as an “On-View”.
Taken Into Custody
– based on a warrant / previous incident, suspect left the scene, and / or time passed
since incident
Example (2): if the suspect in the previous example leaves the scene prior to officer’s arrival and is located later,
several miles away, the arrest would be “Taken-into-Custody”. In addition, an arrest that is the result of a complaint
being filed, an investigation being conducted, and a warrant being issued should show the arrest as “Taken-into-
Custody”
98
2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition
Summoned / Cited – not taken into custody. Notice to appear is given to an offender.
This includes a summons served by a process server.
AN ARREST REPORT IS STILL REQUIRED.
Runaway
– juvenile is taken into custody as a reported runaway. Arrest reports for runaways
are only reported when law enforcement is involved in their recovery and return to parents/
placement. Runaways are no longer reported as of January 1, 2011.
DISPOSITION OF JUVENILE ARREST – the information reported in this category relates to law enforcement
disposition of juveniles (age 17 or younger only) who are taken into custody or arrested. A juvenile may be warned by
the police and released to parents, relatives, friends, or guardians. Juveniles may also be referred to the probation
department or some other branch of the juvenile court; to welfare agencies; or to other law enforcement agencies; or in
the case of serious offenders, to criminal or adult court by waiver of juvenile court. KSAR is required no matter how
the juvenile is disposed. STATE REQUIRED.
The word “arrest” as it applies to juveniles is intended to mean the law enforcement handling of all
juveniles (under age 18) who have committed a crime and are taken into custody under such circumstances
that, if the juvenile were an adult, an arrest would have been reported. Police “contacts” with juveniles
where no offense has been committed and instances wherein juveniles are taken into custody for their own
protection should not be recorded as arrests.
One of the following dispositions is to be reported for arrestees less than 18 years of age:
Handled In Department
– e.g., released to parents; released with warning regardless of intent to seek prosecution
of the incident.
Referred to Other Authorities
– e.g., turned over to court, probation department, welfare agency, or
other police agency.
Example (1): The arrestee, age 13, who is taken into custody for vandalizing a school, is released to his parents
with a warning. The disposition would be “Handled In Department”.
Example (2): The arrestee, age 16, is taken into custody for vandalizing a school, is released to his parents but a
request for prosecution is sent to the prosecutor’s office. This disposition would be “Referred to Other Authorities”.
ARREST / CONTACT LOCATION - where the arrest occurred. STATE REQUIRED. The format is:
217 1/2 N Broadway ST W APT 21 Topeka KS 66614
Digital number of Address
Structure Address Suffix
Primary Street Directional
Street Name

KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
When an arrest occurs on a state highway or interstate, the following format should be used:
Direction of Travel
Highway or Interstate Number
Nearest mile marker
City
, State Zip Code (MUST REPORT)
VALID STREET TYPES:
Avenue AVE Junction JCT
Boulevard BLVD Landing LNDG Square SQ

Expressway EXPY Point PT View VW
Freeway FWY Ramp RAMP Way WAY
Highway HWY Road RD
WARRANT NUMBER / DATE – the warrant number and date the warrant was issued if the arrest was based on a
warrant.
REPORTING WARRANT ARRESTS:
Example (1): Jack Daniels was arrested for DUI by the Wichita Police Department. Subsequently, he was found to
have outstanding warrants from Butler County District Court for several burglary cases. These cases were originated
by Rose Hill Police Dept., Andover Police Dept., and El Dorado Police Dept. Wichita PD should report to KIBRS the
arrest for the DUI. Wichita PD should also forward a copy of the Kansas Disposition Report and arrest report,
including arrest transaction number, to Rose Hill, Andover, and El Dorado. This will allow each department to report
to KIBRS the arrest for their respective case.
Example (2): Mr. Seller is caught burglarizing at the Five-N-DIME. Although the store manager does not wish to
have Mr. Seller arrested, a report is filed through the Stafford Police Department and forwarded to the county
attorney’s office for charges to be filed. The county attorney’s office decides to file a warrant through the Stafford
County District Court for Mr. Seller on burglary charges; Mr. Seller is arrested and taken into custody by a Stafford
County deputy. The arrest report would be submitted by the Stafford Police Department with the original case number
that was generated for the burglary.

The Kansas Supplemental Homicide Report (KSHR) is completed and submitted monthly if any incidents of
Murder, Manslaughter or Justifiable Homicide are reported by an agency on a Kansas Standard Offense Report
(KSOR). Much of the information provided on this form is also on the KSOR. However, since the Front Page of

2012 KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition
C. LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS KILLED OR
ASSAULTED REPORT (LEOKA)
The form entitled “Law Enforcement Officers Killed or Assaulted” (LEOKA) is to be used by agencies to report
line-of-duty felonious or accidental killings and assaults of sworn law enforcement officers. Do not include K-9
dogs. If no officers are killed or assaulted during a given month, a zero report should be submitted in lieu
of this form. (See page 118 for details on the Zero Report.)
The section, “Officers Killed,” relates to sworn officers, with full arrest powers, killed in the line of duty. The
number of officers slain by felonious acts and those killed by accident or negligence should be entered. Do not
include nonfatal assaults on officers in this portion of the form.
Once notified of an officer’s death, the FBI will contact the victim officer’s agency for additional details
concerning the circumstances pertaining to the incident. The FBI will also furnish information on two Federal
programs – a compensation program for non-Federal law enforcement officers overseen by the U.S. Department
of Labor and the Public Safety Officers’ Benefits Program administered by the U.S. Department of Justice.
These programs provide benefits to survivors of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty, as well as
disability benefits for officers suffering duty-related injuries. Either can be contacted directly for information.
The addresses and telephone numbers are:
Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs
United States Department of Labor
P. O. Box 37117
Washington, D.C. 20013
(202) 724-0713
Public Safety Officers’ Benefits Program
United States Department of Justice
Bureau of Justice Assistance
633 Indiana Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20531
(202) 307-0635
The “Officers Assaulted” portion of the form is to be used for reporting assaults on sworn officers. Count all as-
saults which resulted in serious injury or in which a weapon was used which could have caused serious injury or
death. Other assaults not causing injury should be included if they involved more than mere verbal abuse or mi-
nor resistance to an arrest. DO NOT INCLUDE OFFICERS KILLED under this heading.
The importance of the LEOKA data cannot be overemphasized. They are the basis of an analysis of as-
saults on police officers; thus, the more complete the data collected, the more valid the conclusions. These
results are used to prevent future LEO deaths.
AGENCY IDENTIFIER - the nine-character NCIC Originating Agency Identifier (ORI) number that is as-
signed to the reporting agency. STATE REQUIRED.
TYPE OF ACTIVITY (1-11) is the type activity in which the officer was engaged at the time of assault. The
assault is recorded on the appropriate type of activity line with entries to show type of weapon used, type of as-
signment, if the assault has been cleared, whether injury resulted from the attack, and the time of occurrence.
Each of these entries should be made for each assault. STATE REQUIRED.
TOTAL ASSAULTS BY WEAPON (A) – the total number of assaults by weapon being reported is listed in
column A. STATE REQUIRED.
TYPE OF WEAPON - the type of weapon(s) used to commit the assault(s) is listed in column B through E. If
more than one type of weapon is used to commit a single assault, the weapon first encountered in moving from
column B to column E should be selected. STATE REQUIRED.
119
KIBRS Handbook-Sixth Edition 2012
TYPE OF ASSIGNMENT – column F (Two-Officer Vehicle) and columns G and H (One-Officer
Vehicle) pertain to uniformed officers; columns I and J (Detective or Special Assignment) to non-
uniformed officers; and columns K and L (Other) to officers assaulted while in other capacities, such as
foot patrol, off duty, etc. The term “assisted” refers to law enforcement assistance only. STATE
REQUIRED.
POLICE ASSAULTS CLEARED (M) – is the count of number of assaults cleared, including
exceptional clearances. Do not count the number of persons arrested for such offenses. STATE
REQUIRED.
TOTAL (12) – is the total of columns A through M. STATE REQUIRED.

reported in columns A through E. Each column must be totaled. STATE REQUIRED.
NUMBER WITHOUT PERSONAL INJURY (14) – is the total number of officers not injured by
assault as reported in columns A through E. Each column must be totaled. STATE REQUIRED.
TIME OF ASSAULTS (15) – is the total number of officers assaulted during the specified time
frames. STATE REQUIRED.
NOTE: It is important that all assaults be recorded in Sections 13, 14 and 15. The total number of
entries in these sections should equal the total number of assaults on officers for the month.
AGENCY REPORTING - the name of the agency submitting the report. STATE REQUIRED.
REPORT FOR MONTH OF - indicates the reporting month. STATE REQUIRED.
YEAR – the reporting year. STATE REQUIRED.
PREPARED BY/TITLE – the name of the individual completing the report and their
title. STATE REQUIRED.

Line M is a line of its own. Since it is a clearance indicator it will not always be equal
to line A.
Lines B through E must also equal the total reported in line 12
Lines 13 and 14 totals should also equal the total in line 12
Line 15 total should equal total in line 12.

D. ZERO REPORT FORM
An agency must submit a zero report every month unless an agency has reports of every type listed
below.
The Zero Report is used for the months that an agency does not have one or more of any of the
following:
KIBRS reportable crimes occurred
KIBRS reportable arrests occurred
law enforcement officers killed or assaulted (LEOKA)
homicides occurred
Simply, check mark any of the above that apply. DO NOT GIVE NUMBERS OR TALLY MARKS.
It is not necessary to count the number of offense reports or arrest reports.
To be able to compute valid crime rates and trends, it is necessary that the Kansas Bureau of
Investigation (KBI) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) be able to identify months during which
no criminal activity occurred. The computation of valid statistics requires the KBI and FBI to
differentiate between no crime occurring and no crime information being submitted.
This report is to be submitted by the 5th day of each month for the prior month’s reports.
Example: No crime occurred for an agency in January 2007. The zero report for January would be
submitted between February 1st - February 5th.
DO NOT SUBMIT A ZERO REPORT PRIOR TO THE END OF THE REPORTED
MONTH.
These reports will not be entered due to the chance for incorrect submissions.
