Baltimore police to adopt new FBI crime reporting system, joining law enforcement agencies across the country

Baltimore Police Department will use a new crime reporting system, joining law enforcement agencies across the country, in a change required by the federal government. The transition to the National Incident-Based Reporting System, which is mandated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, will increase the number of crimes reported. The new system requires law enforcement to report multiple crimes, up to 10, that might be associated with a single incident.
