CRIME IN GARNER
ONE OF THE HALLMARKS that most governments , citizens , and many prospective residents look to in evaluating a community is crime and the perception of crime among residents . The Garner Police Department recognizes that crime control is one of our critical missions .
However , it is important to make the distinction between the totality of crime and the subset of crimes that are reported , and therefore become known to the police . Although there are many factors that influence the reporting of crime , it is generally accepted that only a modest percentage of crime is ever reported to the police . The law enforcement community ’ s primary objective with regards to the collection and analysis of crime data is to provide a reliable set of crime statistics for criminal justice and law enforcement administration , operation , and management . This data is also used to provide an objective measurement and indication of the overall level
of crime in our community . Crime Reporting
The Garner Police Department transitioned to the National Incident-Based Reporting System ( NIBRS ) on November 1 , 2018 . NIBRS was implemented to improve the overall quality of crime data collected by law enforcement . NIBRS captures details on each single crime incident — as well as separate offenses within the same incident — including information on victims , known offenders , relationships between victims and offenders , arrestees , and property involved crimes . 2019 was the first full year of crime reporting for the police department to NIBRS .
All crime related statistical data can be found at the NC State Bureau of Investigations website at http :// crimereporting . ncsbi . gov . This site contains all current and historical data for the Garner Police Department .
