******Notice: Transition to NIBRS-Compliant Crime Data Reporting The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has completed its transition from the legacy Records Management System, which reported crime and arrest data under Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) standards, to a modernized system fully aligned with the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). As part of this transition, the legacy system is no longer active, and no new information will be entered. Consequently, the Crime Data from 2020 to Present dataset will no longer be updated. It will remain available on the portal for historical reference only. To provide the public with current and comprehensive information, LAPD now publishes datasets sourced directly from the new Records Management System in accordance with NIBRS standards. These datasets were introduced in October 2024 and are refreshed on a bi-weekly schedule: • [LAPD NIBRS Offenses Dataset | Los Angeles Open Data Portal] • [LAPD NIBRS Victims Dataset | Los Angeles Open Data Portal] The adoption of NIBRS ensures LAPD crime and arrest data meet national standards, enhancing transparency, accuracy, and accessibility for the public. ****** On March 7th, 2024, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) adopted a new Records Management System for reporting crimes and arrests. This new system is implemented to comply with the FBI's mandate to collect NIBRS-only data (NIBRS — FBI - https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/more-fbi-services-and-information/ucr/nibrs). This dataset reflects incidents of crime in the City of Los Angeles dating back to 2020. This data is transcribed from original crime reports that are typed on paper and therefore there may be some inaccuracies within the data. Some location fields with missing data are noted as (0°, 0°). Address fields are only provided to the nearest hundred block in order to maintain privacy. This data is as accurate as the data in the database. Please note questions or concerns in the comments.
