CrimeReportingFederal,StateandLocaThe rules followed in the reporting of this information is dictated by the Federal Bureau o
Investigations (FBI).
The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program divides offenses into two groups, Part I
and Part II crimes. Each month, participating law enforcement agencies submit informa-
tion on the number of Part I offenses known to them; those offenses cleared by arrest o
exceptional means; and the age, sex, and race of persons arrested for each of the of-
fenses. Contributors provide only arrest data for Part II offenses.
The UCR Program collects data about Part I offenses in order to measure the level an
scope of crime occurring throughout the Nation. The Program's founders chose thes
offenses because they are serious crimes, they occur with regularity in all areas of th
country, and they are likely to be reported to police.
The Grand Rapids Police Department reports crime information to the State of Michiga
on a monthly basis. The State then passes that data on to the FBI for inclusion into th
annual Crime in the United States report.
