* '''National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS)''' - NIBRS collects information about offenses known to and arrests made by law enforcement officers in the U.S. While the FBI began collecting NIBRS-format data in 1989,<ref name=":4" /> the NIBRS data collection program ran concurrently with the traditional SRS for many years. As of January 1, 2021, NIBRS is the sole FBI data collection program used for crime data.<ref name=":5" /> NIBRS-format data is reported at the incident-level rather than in totals per months (as the SRS was). For each incident, agencies are asked to report information about the crime victim(s), the offender(s), their relationship to each other, and the value of any property stolen, lost, damaged, etc. during the incident.<ref name=":3" /> 
* '''Summary Reporting System (SRS)''' - The SRS collected information about offenses known to and arrests made by law enforcement officers in the U.S. The SRS data collection program was in use from 1930 to 2020.<ref name=":1" />'''<ref name=":5" />''' SRS-format data included monthly offense totals for the eight [[Uniform Crime Reports#Part I Offenses (Offenses & Arrests)|index crimes]] and arrest totals for all crime types broken down by age, sex, race, and (starting in 2013<ref>{{Cite web |last=Federal Bureau of Investigation |title=Crime in the United States 2012: Table 43: Arrests by Race, 2012 |url=https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2012/crime-in-the-u.s.-2012/tables/43tabledatadecoverviewpdf |access-date=September 23, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Federal Bureau of Investigation |title=Crime in the United States 2013: Table 43: Arrests by Race, 2013 |url=https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2013/crime-in-the-u.s.-2013/tables/table-43}}</ref>) Hispanic-origin.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Federal Bureau of Investigation |url=https://ucr.fbi.gov/additional-ucr-publications/ucr_handbook.pdf |title=Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook |last2=U.S. Department of Justice |date=2004}}</ref> 
** '''Supplementary Homicide Reports (SHR)''' - As part of the SRS program, agencies were also asked to submit detailed information about each homicide incident that occurred in their jurisdiction through the SHR. This information included the date, location, and circumstances of the killing, the method used to kill, and demographic characteristics of the homicide victim and the offender.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Fox |first1=James Alan |url=https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/uniform-crime-reports-united-states-supplementary-homicide-reports |title=Uniform Crime Reports (United States): Supplementary Homicide Reports, 1976-1983 |last2=Pierce |first2=Glenn L. |publisher=Center for Applied Social Research, National Institute of Justice, U.S. Department of Justice |year=1987}}</ref> In addition, the Supplementary Homicide Reports included data about incidents of justifiable homicide, that is, non-crime incidents [[Justifiable homicide|when a private citizen kills someone committing a crime]] or when [[Lists of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States|law enforcement kills someone while acting in the line of duty]]. This information is now collected as part of NIBRS.

* '''Federal Crime Data'''
