Validations on Field Arrest Imports

The Field Arrest can be associated to an Incident Report, and data from the Field Arrest can be imported into the Incident Report.

When associating a Field Arrest to an Incident Report, don't assume all of the Field Arrest information is automatically associated to the Incident Report, for this has led to improper UCR and NIBRS reporting.

If a Field Arrest is associated to a report, then Online RMS verifies that at least one offense from the associated Field Arrest was added to the Incident Report, if no offense was associated or added to the Incident Report then validation errors occur:

Field arrest information – At least one offense from the field arrest must be included.

If a Field Arrest is associated to a report, then Online RMS verifies that Arrestee (person name) from the associated Field Arrest is added to the Incident Report, if no arrestee was associated or added to the Incident Report then validation errors occur:

Field Arrest Information – Arrestee from field arrest must be included on report.
