Understanding Crime Statistics

The statistics published on this site represent crime reported to the Prince George's County Police Department. When a crime is reported, it is classified as one of dozen offense types that are defined by a specific reporting system.

The Prince George's County Police Department classifies crime in three main reporting systems:

• Daily Crime Reporting (DCR)
  Used primarily for internal planning; offense definitions are more closely coupled to investigative responsibility or weapons used.
• FBI UCR/National Incident-Based Crime Reporting (UCR/NIBRS)
  Used to report crime to State/Federal agencies as required by law or agreement; offense definitions are defined by the FBI under the Uniform Crime Reporting Program.
• FBI UCR/Summary Reporting System (UCR/SRS)
  Legacy FBI/UCR system that is being replaced by UCR/NIBRS. Most statistical data prior to 2018 will use UCR/SRS offense definitions.

These reporting systems use difference offense definitions, and the same criminal act may be classified as a different offense type under each system. It is important to understand the reporting system in use when comparing crime statistics from any source.
