Besides this, NIBRS collects information regarding date, time, expanded victim data—such as relationships to offenders and offenses, as well as the type of victim—, demographics, location, and property descriptions, whether the reported crimes were attempted or completed, use of drugs or alcohol, involvement of gang activity and whether computers were used.

Additional information requested by NIBRS includes context specifics for each crime, such as sex offenses, narcotics offenses, animal cruelty, identity theft, and computer hacking.

The Solution:When it comes to typical offices where computer work is the order of the day — and walk-though traffic is less than hectic — slight capacity cord covers are generally all you need to prevent cable-related tripping hazards; and keep your floors looking neat. Light capacity cord covers are typically made of flexible plastic with gently dome-shaped surfaces for easy crossing. They are slit underneath for easy cable insertion — and can be left to lay flat on their own — or affixed to your flooring with double-sided tape for extra security. Is your office carpeted? Another great option is the SafCord. It is a flat-profile fabric cord cover that's made of heavy duty nylon, with hook-and-loop construction that grabs tightly to any loop-style carpet. It works along the same lines as fastening cables to the floor with gaffer tape, except it involves no sticky adhesive — and looks a lot nicer too. You just lay the SafCord over your cables then press down on the hook and loop edging. You're left with completely flat wire protection that won't move, even when vacuumed over. It is perfect for when the cleaning crew comes in.

The Situation:You're a working musician or DJ who travels with lots of gear and audio cables, which you'd really like to avoid stepping on while entertaining the crowd.

These departments still rely on the old Summary Reporting System (SRS), first established in the 1920s by the FBI—then the Bureau of Investigation— as part of the Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR). While it proved extremely useful for its day and age, it’s become obsolete to a certain extent.

As you can see, NIBRS provides law enforcement with a firmer grasp on crime analysis, allowing police departments to protect and serve their communities even better. Even if the adoption of such reporting frameworks implies a great effort, in the end, it can only benefit everyone, citizens and officers alike.This article was brought to you by Kustom Signals, a leading provider of law enforcement speed enforcement and video solutions.

The National Incident-Based Reporting System, or NIBRS, was first introduced in 1985 through a joint report by the FBI and the Bureau of Justice Statistics to improve the quality of crime data collected by law enforcement. NIBRS was the result of a three-year study that considered the many different ways in which state programs started collecting additional information to that required by the SRS. But it was only in 1991 that the FBI began collecting data for NIBRS.

The Solution:When you combine elements like the great outdoors, mixed pedestrian/vehicle traffic and ADA compliance, the situation automatically calls for a high capacity polyurethane cord cover, like Linebacker® or Guard Dog® cable protectors. Made of molded polyurethane that can withstand vehicle loads ranging from 21,000 to 43,000 pounds per axle (depending on the model), these high-performance cord covers are also textured to give pedestrians better traction — and can be customized with ADA-compliant ramps — wherever wheelchair crossing points may be necessary.

Data collection is the pillar of any criminal investigation, yet many police departments nationwide are yet to incorporate newer technologies for this purpose.

Most cities have been going through a transformation in the surveillance and police monitoring sector. Continuously improving technology has aided the development of sophisticated systems that have helped in crime and terroism prevention…

From there, it's just a matter of matching your business' need with the cord covers that fit the bill. To get you on the right track, we've put together a few common business-related cable management scenarios, and solved each need with several cable protection possibilities.

Policing is a rewarding but very demanding job; physically, emotionally and mentally. Officers often see the worst of humankind or must deal with stressful situations. These duties can take a toll on their mental health and wellbeing.

The Situation:The extension cords on your warehouse floor need to be protected from occasional forklift traffic, but very heavy-duty cord covers seem like overkill.

The Solution:Believe it or not, there's a line of cord covers that were designed to protect cables (and people) on, in and around stages, DJ booths, clubs, and other music-driven entertainment venues. Cleverly named ClubSaver™, these cable protectors are everything the gigging musician needs them to be: rugged, lightweight, inconspicuous onstage, and even self-anchoring, thanks to a rubberized backing material that grabs onto almost any flooring surface. When the show's over, just pick them up and toss them into your vehicle with the rest of your gear.

With today’s speed of information and tech-savvy civilians, social media is not a passing trend. It’s a powerful tool for law enforcement to keep people safe, informed and enlightened about the role of police in everyday society.

The Solution:Because of differences in size, machinery, and overall traffic, warehouses can present a cable management dilemma. Many medium capacity, dropover cable protectors are likely to be pushed around by frequent forklift traffic. But at the same time, most of the pricier high capacity, heavy duty cord covers on the market are designed for near-constant runover by trucks and other outdoor vehicle traffic. Where's the middle ground? An excellent "happy medium" for warehouses is the Eagle® Parking Stops and Speed Bumps cable protector. Originally designed to be used in temporary parking lot setups, this medium, high capacity cable protector features a dropover style, but can be anchored into the ground to eliminate shifting that can occur with vehicle traffic. It's also far more cost effective than full-fledged heavy duty cable protectors, covering at least twice the length for a fraction of the price.

Choosing the right cable protectors for your office, retail space, warehouse, or facility may seem like a tricky task, but it doesn't have to be. All you need to do is look around your place of business, and then make a mental note of the layout, equipment, and traffic situation (aka: the number of people or vehicles traveling through on a regular basis), as well as compliance requirements.

The main difference between the SRS and NIBRS is the report’s thoroughness, to put it mildly. Given that SRS limits the number of offenses committed within a single incident to just one, NIBRS demands greater specificity, as it requires all violations to be reported.

Many of us have now begun to accept the new normalcy with people returning to their jobs and daily routines.

In just a few years, it’s clear that technology has changed the way police officers do just about everything, increasing efficiency and improving outcomes.

Federal public safety departments have been required to implement NIBRS as of January 1st, 2021, whereas state and local agencies have only been encouraged by the FBI to follow in their footsteps. But what are some of how police departments can benefit from NIBRS?

The Situation:Phone cords and data cables are stretched across the walkways in your office and have kept tripping people.

The Situation:Your company puts on outdoor special events, and needs cord covers that can stand up to both pedestrians and vehicles, but are also ADA compliant.

In today’s world, data analysis is king. And it so happens that the SRS doesn’t provide enough information through its crime hierarchy system to inform federal law enforcement agencies of crime trends, risks, and improvement opportunities. Consequently, the FBI recommended the nationwide implementation of NIBRS as a new framework for data collection.
