4-02/010.05 - Retention Code (Time Element)



The time element of the URN is a combination of the predetermined retention period code and the current year.  The retention code is the first digit followed by the second and third digits indicating the reporting year.

The first digit of the three digit time element will be a "9" or "0" and represents the retention period.

"9"       indicates the standard retention which is used for all reports not specifically designated as a "0" retention.

"0"       indicates an infinite retention period and is issued for homicides, dead bodies, Deputy-involved shootings, missing persons (adults or juveniles), firearms (stolen, lost), sex crimes, child abuse, elder abuse, domestic violence, animal cruelty, potential homeland security activity, arson, major injuries to inmates, suicide, attempt suicide, and offenses where there is no statute of limitation.

If LARCIS is unavailable, and a “Manual URN” must be used, assign the retention based upon the following table.  If the Statistical Code is not listed, assign the URN a "9" retention.

When the crime or incident to be reported is not given in the alphabetical portion of the Case Assignment and Reporting Volume, one of the following priorities, retention periods and statistical codes will be used.

Felonies, Miscellaneous; priority 33; retention period (9); statistical code 339 - All Other Felonies.

Misdemeanors, Miscellaneous; priority 39; retention period (9); statistical code 399 - All Other Misdemeanors.

Miscellaneous, Noncriminal; priority 44; retention period (9); statistical code 444 - Suspicious Circumstances - possible criminal activity.

If circumstances in the facts of a case change after an URN has been assigned, the URN must be changed to accurately reflect the true nature of the reported case.  Change in any segment of the URN shall be described in a supplemental report as outlined in section 4-01/020.40.

For example, if the victim of an assault with a deadly weapon (knife) originally reported under statistical code 052 subsequently dies, the case is changed to a homicide, which changes the statistical code to 011, murder, retention to zero (0).  Any updates in LARCIS, such as the one above, will automatically cause a review of all of the statistical codes relating to that incident, and could automatically increase or decrease the retention.  URN changes which are made pursuant to a change in Department policy do not require a supplemental report.
