Honolulu Police Department switching to new data-reporting system
The Honolulu Police Department will switch to a new, data-rich system for reporting crimes at the start of the new year.
The National Incident-Based Reporting System “captures details on each single crime incident — as well as on separate offenses within the same incident — including information on victims, known offenders, relationships between victims and offenders, arrestees, and property involved in crimes,” according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Deputy Chief John McCarthy told the Honolulu Police Commission on Wednesday that the new system could allow HPD to report more incidents and give the department the ability to report more crimes that it clears, usually through an arrest.
