13. Use themostspecificdata value EXAMPLE: If more than one of the data values associated with a data element could apply to the situation, agencies should use the most specific one. For example, in Data Element 9 (Location Type), a 7-Eleven store could be described as 05 = Commercial/Office Building, 07 = Convenience Store, 12 = Grocery/Supermarket 23 = Service/Gas Station Because 07 = Convenience Store is the most specific description, reporting agencies should use this code.

18. ADMINISTRATIVE DATA ELEMENT 2 (Incident Number) Incident Number is the number assigned by the reporting agency to each Group A Incident Report to uniquely identify the incident (e.g., the LEA’s Case Number). This data element is mandatory in each NIBRS submission. If data from a Group A Incident Report are furnished to outside entities for research purposes, the FBI will encrypt the incident numbers prior to their dissemination to ensure that the recipient cannot identify the actual case. Agencies may also encrypt their incident numbers before sending them to the FBI. SEGMENT

21. CARGO THEFT DEFINITION Cargo Theft is the criminal taking of any cargo including, but not limited to goods, chattels, money, or baggage that constitutes, in whole or in part, a commercial shipment of freight moving in commerce, from any pipeline system, railroad car, motor truck, or other vehicle, or from any tank or storage facility, station house, platform, or depot, or from any vessel or wharf, or from any aircraft, air terminal, airport, aircraft terminal or air navigation facility, or from any intermodal container, intermodal chassis, trailer, container freight station, warehouse, freight distribution facility, or freight consolidation facility. For purposes of this definition, cargo shall be deemed as moving in commerce at all points between the point of origin and the final destination, regardless of any temporary stop while awaiting transshipment or otherwise.

22. CARGO THEFTNIBRS OFFENSES • Robbery (120) • Theft From A Building (23D) • Theft From a MV (23F) • All Other Larceny (23H) • False Pretenses/Swindle/ Confidence Game (26A) • Credit Card/Automatic Teller Machine Fraud (26B) • Identity Theft (26F) • Impersonation (26C) • Wire Fraud (26E) • Extortion/Blackmail (210) • Burglary/Breaking & Entering (220) • Motor Vehicle Theft (240) • Embezzlement (270) • Bribery (510) • Computer Hacking/Invasion (26G)

23. USA Patriot Improvement and Re-authorization Act of 2005 • The Attorney General shall take the steps necessary to ensure that reports of cargo theft collected by Federal, State, and local officials are reflected as a separate category in the Uniform Crime Reporting System, or any successor system.

24. BACKGROUND • By some estimates, Cargo Theft creates a 10- to 25-billion dollar yearly loss in the United States. • Cargo Theft has a significant economic impact on the U.S. economy and, most importantly, has a very high potential for use by terrorist organizations to further criminal activity. • Cargo Theft can be exploited by terrorist groups to raise funds for terrorism activities including plans for catastrophic events within the borders of the United States. • It has been determined through law enforcement investigations that food, electronics, high-end clothing, computers, computer components, copper, alcohol, perfumes, cigarettes, and medicine (Pharmaceuticals) are among the top items targeted by cargo theft groups. • The groups committing Cargo Thefts are showing a degree of intelligence regarding cargo shipments and can quickly adapt to law enforcement interdiction efforts. • Stolen cargo may change hands two or more times within a 48-hour period. Often, Cargo Thefts are not discovered until hours, if not days, after the incident has occurred. • National cargo theft estimates, by transportation mode, reveal that the greatest vulnerabilities exist during motor transport. In practicality, cargo shipped by rail or vessel still requires motor carrier transport to and from destinations.

25. KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER ABOUT CARGO THEFT • Cargo must be a part of a COMMERCIAL SHIPMENT • and must be in the SUPPLY CHAIN (moving in • commerce.) • Thefts from mail, UPS, FEDEX, pizza delivery, floral • delivery vehicles, etc. is not considered cargo • because the goods have already been delivered to the • end user (business) in the commercial shipment/ • supply chain.

26. KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER ABOUT CARGO THEFT • Cargo vs. Merchandise • The businesses are the end users of the cargo in the • commercial shipment/supply chain. • The personal deliveries are the end users • of the merchandise received from the businesses. • If a truck arrives at a store, but the goods have not • been received by the store before the theft occurred, • this would be considered a cargo theft (the cargo is • a commercial shipment and is still in the supply • chain). • If there is a Bill of Laden reserved for a commercial • shipment, it would be considered a cargo theft.

27. KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER ABOUT CARGO THEFT • EXAMPLE 1: • Delivery truck leaves a LOWES distribution center in • Bristol, Tennessee with a load of building supplies • heading to a local LOWES store in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. • Once the driver arrives in Oshkosh he stops at the local • Wal-Mart parking lot and heads in to get something to • eat at the Subway inside. When he returns to his truck • an hour later it is missing along with the merchandise. • This would be a Cargo Theft.

28. KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER ABOUT CARGO THEFT • EXAMPLE 2: • Delivery truck leaves a LOWES store in Oshkosh, • Wisconsin with a washer and dryer that was • purchased the night before by Jen Shepherd. The • driver stops at a local fast food restaurant to get a bite • to eat and makes a phone call to Jen to get • directions to her house so they can make the delivery. • Driver comes out and the truck along with Jen’s • washer and dryer is gone. This should not be reported • as a Cargo Theft.

31. ADMINISTRATIVE DATA ELEMENT 3 (Incident Date) EXAMPLES: If a robbery occurred at 9:30 p.m. on June 2, 2016, the entry should be 2016/06/02. The hour will be 21. If a kidnapping started at 11:30 p.m. on November 1, 2015, and ended at 6:00 pm on November 16, 2015, the entry should be 2012/11/01. The hour will be 23. If an incident occurred at midnight on December 31, 2015, the entry should be 2016/01/01. The hour will be 00. If the date and hour of the incident are unknown but the date of the report was March 15, 2015, the entry should be 2015/03/15 and the Report Date Indicator should be entered as R = Report Date. The hour should be left blank. SEGMENT

33. Data Element 4EXCEPTIONAL CLEARANCE Submission of arrestee data automatically clears ALL offenses within an incident. Likewise, incidents can be cleared by EXCEPTIONAL means when circumstances preclude an arrest.

34. Data Element 4EXCEPTIONAL CLEARANCE To clear an offense by exceptional means, the following four conditions must be met:

35. The investigation must have clearly and definitely established the identity of at least one offender. • Sufficient probable cause must have been developed to support arresting, charging, and prosecuting the offender. • The exact location of the offender must be known so that an arrest could be made. • There must be a reason outside the control of law enforcement control that prevents the arrest. (i.e., A through E)

36. A = Death of the Offender B = Prosecution Declined (by the prosecutor for other than lack of probable cause) C = In Custody-Other Jurisdiction (includes extradition denied) D = Victim Refused to Cooperate (in the prosecution) E = Juvenile/No Custody (the handling of a juvenile without taking him/her into custody, but rather by orally or written notice given to the parents or legal guardian in a case involving a minor offense, such as petty larceny) N = Not Applicable (not cleared exceptionally)

37. C = IN CUSTODY – OTHER JURISDICTION Encompasses cases where extraditions are formally denied or in circumstances where an agency arrests an offender who is also suspected of committing offenses in other jurisdictions. EXAMPLE: An arrest is made in connection with a robbery and the robber confesses to committing a burglary in a neighboring law enforcement jurisdiction. The arrest is made known to the neighboring jurisdiction (either through law enforcement communications, media, etc.). The arresting agency records a robbery arrest in NIBRS and the neighboring agency could clear the incident involving the confessed burglary by reporting “C” in the Cleared Exceptionally data element field.

38. Data Element 4EXCEPTIONAL CLEARANCE Note: Clearance of an incident should not be confused with closing an investigation. Discontinuance of Active Investigation Or Administrative Closing DOES NOT EXCEPTIONAL CLEAR an incident.

45. HATE CRIME A criminal offense committed against a person or property which is motivated, in whole or in part, by the offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnicity/national origin, sexual-orientation group, or gender/gender identity.

47. Objective Evidence That the Crime was Motivated by Bias • An important distinction must be made when reporting a hate crime. The mere fact the offender is biased against the victim’s actual or perceived race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, and/or gender identity does not mean that a hate crime was involved. Rather, the offender’s criminal act must have been motivated, in whole or in part, by his or her bias. • Motivation is subjective, therefore, it is difficult to know with certainty whether a crime was the result of the offender’s bias. For that reason, before an incident can be reported as a hate crime, sufficient objective facts must be present to lead a reasonable and prudent person to conclude that the offender’s actions were motivated, in whole or in part, by bias. While no single fact may be conclusive, facts such as the following, particularly when combined, are supportive of a finding of bias:

48. HATE CRIMES …are NOT separate, distinct crimes, but any traditional criminal offense that is motivated by the offender's RACIAL, RELIGION, DISABILITY, ETHNIC/NATIONAL ORIGIN, SEXUAL-ORIENTATION GROUP, or GENDER/GENDER IDETINTY B I A S

49. HATE CRIME REPORTING RacialBias 11 = Anti-White 12 = Anti-Black or African American 13 = Anti-American Indian or Alaska Native 14 = Anti-Asian 15 = Anti-Multiple Races, Group 16 = Anti-Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander
