Case Study: Ottawa Kansas PD achieves accurate, state-compliant IBR reporting with Tyler Technologies' Incode Public Safety

The Ottawa Kansas PD streamlined their IBR process

The Ottawa, Kansas Police Department, which serves a town of about 13,000 within a larger metro area, faced persistent challenges submitting accurate Incident Based Reporting (IBR) data to the state. Reporting errors were skewing statistics and hampering the agency’s ability to track and respond to crime trends.

To address this, the department implemented Tyler Technologies’ Incode Public Safety in 2015. The system’s dedicated, color‑coded interface streamlined IBR submission, reduced data entry errors, sped up approvals, and produced more accurate, consistent state‑compliant statistics for better crime analysis and community reporting.
