Information on the process to resolve missing reports and submit adjustments accompanied the 2010 Index Crime Offense verification report disseminated to the head of each law enforcement agency earlier this week. The document below recaps this information, as well as providing additional information regarding the verification report and associated processes.

| January 27, 2012 |
| The hate crime reporting element of the electronic on-line reporting tool has been developed and is being tested with deployment expected in March. Agencies will then have the capability to enter monthly 2012 hate crime reports on-line. Development has been initiated to provide the capability to enter supplemental reports (domestic-related incidents, crimes against children, and attacks against school personnel) on-line, with expected deployment by June 2012. |
| |
| A solution has been identified to resolve the issue for most agencies unable to connect to the reporting tool. An update will follow within the week providing direction and the steps that need to be taken to assist in establishing connectivity. As it is expected that a majority of agencies will have the capability of entering index, hate crime, and supplemental reports for 2012 well before any deadlines, agencies are to refrain from submitting any paper forms to the I-UCR Program. Only those agencies who are unable to connect to the reporting tool after applying the solution will be permitted to submit paper forms for entry of 2012 reports. |

| Index Crimes verification reports for 2010 will be mailed on January 30, 2012 to the head of each reporting agency. Agencies will have until February 29, 2012, to either enter adjustments electronically or submit adjustments via the Monthly Crime Index form. As previously announced, 2010 statistics will be reported independently with no comparison to 2009 due to the major revisions to reporting guidelines implemented in 2010. Agencies who were noncompliant to the revised guidelines will not receive a verification report. Those agencies will receive correspondence providing direction towards achieving compliance. |

2011 Update |
| The website for the electronic reporting tool is undergoing modifications that will be effective September 28, 2011. The link to access the tool will not change. The first screen will remain the sign-on screen. After entering your user id and password, you will be taken directly to the Illinois Uniform Crime Reporting Program Welcome Page. It will no longer be necessary to select the Illinois Uniform Crime Reporting Program link from the I-CLEAR screen which previously appeared after sign-on. Agencies will not be able to access the link to the Federal UCR Initiative which concluded December 31, 2010. The remaining modifications will not be apparent to the user. |
