National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) Part I and II Offenses.
The Crime Data represents incident level data defined by National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) codes. NIBRS reporting is a crime reporting standard and cannot be compared to any previous UCR report. Therefore, the Crime Data may reflect:
- Information not yet verified by further investigation
- Preliminary crime classifications that may be changed at a later date based upon further investigation
- Information that may include mechanical or human error
Neither the City of Milwaukee nor the Milwaukee Police Department guarantee (either express or implied) the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or correct sequencing of the Crime Data. The City of Milwaukee and the Milwaukee Police Department shall have no liability for any error or omission, or for the use of, or the results obtained from the use of the Crime Data. In addition, the City of Milwaukee and the Milwaukee Police Department caution against using the Crime Data to make decisions/comparisons regarding the safety of or the amount of crime occurring in a particular area. When reviewing the Crime Data, the site user should consider that:
- The information represents only police services where a report was made and does not include other calls for police service
- The information does not reflect or certify "safe" or "unsafe" areas
- The information will sometimes reflect where the crime was reported versus where the crime occurred
This data is not intended to represent a total number/sum of crimes, rather 1 = True and 0 = False.
The use of the Crime Data indicates the site user's unconditional acceptance of all risks associated with the use of the Crime Data.
