CRIME INSIGHT MODULES

Data Collection Modules

Expand What You COLLECT

Data Collection Modules are designed to introduce entirely new datasets into Crime Insight. Whether driven by federal mandates or state-specific initiatives, these modules provide a complete, end-to-end framework for collecting, validating, and reporting structured data across agencies.

Crime Insight was originally designed for UCR NIBRS reporting but has evolved to support a growing number of data collections, including Use-of-Force, Death in Custody, Police Employee Counts, and state-specific programs. Each dataset can be fully customized to meet state requirements while maintaining compliance with federal standards.

Every Data Collection Module includes a robust, standardized feature set:

• Full validation based on the dataset’s technical specification
• Agency tracking for submission status, onboarding, and system usage
• Direct data entry and file upload capabilities
• Real-time error and warning detection with resolution workflows
• Reporting tools for submission compliance, data quality, and record history
• Automated notifications for non-compliance or outstanding issues
• Integration with RMS systems for real-time data submission and validation

This architecture makes it fast and cost-effective to introduce new data programs as legislative or operational needs evolve.

Feature Modules enhance the core capabilities of Crime Insight, adding new tools for automation, oversight, communication, and system integration. These modules work to improve efficiency, visibility, and collaboration between states and agencies.

Crime Insight Web Services

Streamlined Crime Data Submission

Crime Insight Web Services eliminates the hassle of chasing overdue reports, fixing errors manually, and managing complex file transfers. Instead, data flows seamlessly from agency RMS systems to your state repository and then to the FBI. Submissions, validations, and corrections all happen automatically, giving your state faster, more accurate crime data with less manual effort.

Smarter Workflows, Better Data

Every incident record entered in an agency’s RMS is instantly validated, corrected if needed, and resubmitted—all in real time. Errors and warnings are flagged while details are still fresh, so agencies can resolve them quickly. Because Crime Insight synchronizes feedback across the agency, state repository, and FBI, everyone is always working from the most current data. The result: higher-quality reporting with fewer delays.

Flexible, Secure, and Supported

Crime Insight Web Services connects state repositories with any RMS setup—whether that’s a single agency, multiple agencies on different systems, or a cloud-based RMS. Built on state-specific XML specifications, it securely manages data flow to meet FBI/NIBRS requirements. Beyond 20/20 provides full support, including updates for new standards, compatibility with multiple specification versions, and responsive technical assistance.
