  20. SEPARATION of TIME& PLACE The time interval between the offenses and the distance between the locations where they occurred were insignificant.

  21. SEPARATION of TIME& PLACE If there is a separation of time and place between the commission of several crimes, each will be handled as a separate incident and will be classified and scored individually.

  22. JURISDICTION GUIDELINES The purpose is to accurately depict the nature and volume of crime in a particular community – NOTto claim or take credit for the number of investigations, arrests, etc.

  23. JURISDICTION GUIDELINES To make certain that an offense or arrest is not counted more than once by overlapping jurisdictions, the following guidelines have been established:

  24. JURISDICTION GUIDELINES Police report offenses that occur withintheircity jurisdiction.

  25. JURISDICTION GUIDELINES County and State law enforcement agencies report offenses which take place in the county outside the jurisdiction of the city.

  26. JURISDICTION GUIDELINES Jurisdiction When two or more local, state, tribal, or federal agencies are involved in the investigation of the same offense and there is a written or oral agreement defining the roles of the investigating agencies, the agreement must designate which agency will report the offense.

  27. JURISDICTION GUIDELINES Agencies report only those arrests made for offenses committed within their own jurisdictions

  28. JURISDICTION GUIDELINES The recoveryof property is reported only by the jurisdiction from which it was reported stolen

  29. INCIDENT An incident may consist of one offense or multiple offenses.
