Federal Incident Reporting System

 A modern, intuitive user interface for managing NIBRS submissions.

Voyatek’s Federal Incident Reporting System (FIRES) is a COTS product that enables State Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) reporting agencies to accept and validate state and FBI compliant incident-based reporting data submissions from the Local Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA’s). FIRES’s seamless, non-invasive integration with existing LEA Records Management Systems (RMS) simplifies data submission to the state, including validation of compliance with state business rules and rapid confirmation of success or exceptions.

Voyatek FIRES offers advanced reporting capabilities. Authorized users can view/download their monthly transactions and error reports. State admins can send reminder emails to delinquent agencies with one click!

Voyatek FIRES is a next-generation NIBRS solution

 

Voyatek FIRES can help state agencies accept and process the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) submissions from the Local Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA’s). The comprehensive solution has two key focus areas:

  • Inbound Submissions from LEAs to the State Agency: The FIRES solution evaluates and enforces the NIBRS Business Rules as defined by the FBI technical spec v 2019.1 on the incident submissions and stores incidents that pass the edits.
  • Outgoing Submissions from State Agency to the FBI: FIRES generates the compliant FBI NIBRS Flat File by consolidating all the incident details received by the state for the reporting period. This file is securely transmitted to the FBI for reporting the state’s monthly crime statistics.

Incident Submission in Minutes

Voyatek FIRES provides a modern, intuitive user interface for managing NIBRS submissions. Supports the submission of compliant, Group A & B incidents, and Zero Reports. The User Interface displays the mandatory fields for an incident. In addition, exceptions are identified and presented with clear, meaningful diagnostic messages.
