NIBRS Reporting That Fits Seamlessly into your Workflow
You enter the incidents. Informant handles the reporting. No NIBRS expertise required.
Your RMS Should Know Pennsylvania NIBRS So You Don’t Have To.
Let Informant handle the complexity of NIBRS.
Enter incidents as a part of your daily workflow while Informant automatically applies reporting rules and state-specific requirements behind the scenes. The result? Compliant NIBRS submissions without the extra work.
A comprehensive RMS built to support your agency today — and keep you ready for what comes next.
NIBRS reporting should not force your agency to redesign how officers document incidents and review cases, or how administrators manage reporting requirements.
With Informant Technologies, NIBRS is built into the way your RMS already works.
Your officers enter incidents, arrests, property, people, and locations through familiar workflows. Informant applies the reporting logic, required relationships, state-specific data requirements, validations, and submission preparation behind the scenes.
Your RMS Should Be Ready for NIBRS — Without Making Your Staff Become NIBRS Experts
NIBRS introduces more detailed reporting requirements, more relationships between data elements, and more opportunities for errors if the RMS and the agency workflow are not aligned.
That complexity should be handled by the system whenever possible.
Informant Technologies provides a Comprehensive Records Management System designed around the operational needs of law enforcement agencies — with NIBRS reporting capabilities integrated directly into everyday record entry.
Instead of layering a separate reporting process on top of your RMS, Informant helps make NIBRS part of the same workflow your staff already uses.
That means less disruption for your agency and a clearer path toward state and national reporting requirements.
More Than NIBRS. A Complete RMS Designed for Public Safety.
Informant is not a standalone NIBRS reporting tool.
It is a comprehensive RMS platform that supports the broader records, incident, arrest, property, person, location, and administrative workflows your agency depends on every day.
NIBRS reporting is integrated into that foundation.
The advantage is simple:
Your agency does not have to choose between a capable RMS and a transition-ready NIBRS solution.
Informant is designed to provide both.
For agencies evaluating a new RMS, that means NIBRS is not another system to bolt on later.
For existing Informant agencies, it means the transition can be built around workflows staff already know.
Informant’s Key Features
No Separate NIBRS Forms
Informant Tech automatically captures the data needed for NIBRS reporting through the modules your team already uses every day. When it’s time to report, Informant automatically compiles the data for you. No separate NIBRS forms or manual data entry required.
Clear Error Messages
Informant Tech has a built-in Crime Reporting Assistant lets you quickly check an incident record to ensure you've completed all the information needed. There’s no need to learn often inscrutable NIBRS errors; the Crime Reporting Assistant explains each problem — and how to fix it — in plain English.
Built-In NIBRS Expertise
NIBRS is complex, with hard-to-remember rules, countless reporting requirements, and state-specific complexity. Informant handles these details and obscure requirements automatically so your team doesn’t have to learn or memorize the many intricacies of NIBRS reporting.
Automatic Group Sorting
NIBRS requires different reports based on the offenses involved:
Group A Incident Reports for serious offenses.
Group B Arrest Reports for less serious offenses.
Automatically submit the correct report based on your incident data.
Automatic Geocoding
Informant’s NIBRS reporting integrates with our Geocoding feature, automatically filling in latitude and longitude when a location record is saved. This ensures accurate data in your NIBRS submissions without the time-consuming work of looking up and entering coordinates manually for each location.
Automatic Generation of Zero Reports
When there’s no NIBRS activity to report for a given month, Informant automatically generates a Zero Report. This helps keep your NIBRS submissions current and compliant, even when there is no NIBRS activity to report.
