Of all types of crime tracked by the NIBRS, larceny was the most popular crime handled by the Accomack office.

The NIBRS was designed to provide detail and context around crime stats. Under the previous system, only the most serious crime related to an incident would be logged.

It is used by law enforcement at all levels, from local to federal.
