Illinois NIBRS Repository is LIVE!
As part of the I-UCR conversion to National Incident Based Reporting (NIBRS), the Illinois NIBRS Repository (INR) website is now available for all Illinois Law Enforcement Agencies utilizing User Interface (U/I) access to submit Incident Based Reporting (IBR) crime data. The INR is now live at https://illinois.nibrs.com. Agencies will have three options to upload their crime reporting data: manual entry U/I, XML manual upload, and through XML web services (machine to machine). Agencies will be notified when they are able to upload their IBR crime data using XML manual upload or XML web services. Regardless of reporting NIBRS or Summary data, every agency must have access to the INR as Arrest Related Deaths, Officer Non-Fatal Shootings, and Law Enforcement Employee reports will be entered through this website.
Your agency no longer needs to have a static IP address to access the INR. All agency’s historical summary data has been migrated into the INR. These are steps agencies need to take to obtain a user ID and access to INR:
- Must have completed the FBI NIBRS training
- Must have access to the Illinois NIBRS Repository Test site (INRT). (http://iltest.nibrs.com)
- Must have successfully entered data into the INRT
- Must have viewed the training videos, located on the test site, on the use of INR
After successfully completing those tasks, agencies can request access to the INR. To become certified by the FBI, agencies must successfully submit six (6) months of data with an error rate of 4% or less for three (3) consecutive months. To help achieve FBI certification, the I-UCR Program has decided to allow agencies to “go back” as far as they want with their data submissions to the INR. The agency must indicate the start date of their IBR submissions in order to avoid double reporting with summary data previously submitted.
If your agency has not received FBI NIBRS training, there is still ONE class available. This class is scheduled for September 28th and 29th and will be the last class in Illinois for two years. To register, you must sign-in to the current reporting site https://iclear.isp.state.il.us, click on the ‘training registration’ tab, and fill out the required information. If unable to access the reporting site, send an email to ISP.IUCR.Program@illinois.gov with subject line of NIBRS Training, including the attendee’s First/Last Name, Position/Title, Phone #, and Email in the text.
All correspondence regarding access to the INR should be sent to ISP.UCR.Access@illinois.gov.

In alignment with Governor JB Pritzker’s recent direction, and in view of world events related to the COVID-19 virus, the Illinois State Police (ISP), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and our host agencies have agreed to postpone NIBRS training currently-scheduled for March. This affects classes in Schaumburg (March 23/24) and Rockford (March 26/27). New training opportunities will be announced at a later date. We will continue to closely monitor world, national, and state events with an eye toward the classes currently scheduled in Springfield (April 20/21) and Carbondale (April 23/24), and will make a final announcement about these courses next month. Additionally, the ISP and the FBI are discussing alternate methods of lesson plan delivery that avoids the need for in-person training.
Students who wish to change their registrations from the northern classes to the southern classes can do so on the I-UCR reporting tool, found at https://iclear.isp.state.il.us Be sure to cancel the current course registration before attempting to re-register for the alternate course.
