BURGLARY

Burglary cases shall be assigned as "Active" (A) or "Pending" (P). The "Pending" action is to be used when there is no in-custody or named suspect.

"Pending" cases shall remain in this category unless activated by the Station/Unit detective supervisor or investigator; or when six months have elapsed, they will automatically be considered to be inactive.

If a gun is taken, use the statistical code, 830 Firearm related incidents, which will assign a zero (0) retention code.

All serialized articles shall be entered into the appropriate CJIS or NCIC data file.
