The crime or incident being reported shall have a priority number. For statistical purposes, priorities for the crime classification reported are shown under the column beginning with "Form Number" in the alphabetical portion of this volume.
All Part I crimes or incidents and all Part II crimes or incidents must be reported by priority. Part I crimes, listed below, regardless of the priority number, have coding precedence over any Part II crimes.
The highest priority, 01, has first priority; 38 has the lowest priority of a Part I crime.
Part I crimes consist of:
01 Criminal Homicide
02 Rape, Forcible
03 Robbery, Weapon
04 Robbery, Strongarm
05 Assault, Felonies
06 Burglary, Residence
07 Burglary, Other Structure
08 Grand Theft
09 Grand Theft Vehicle
27 Arson
34 Vehicle Burglary
35 Locker Burglary
36 Boat Burglary
37 Aircraft Burglary
38 Theft, Petty
All other crimes are Part II crimes and are rated at a lower priority than any Part I crime. Part II crimes are rated as follows: when one charge is a felony and the other is a misdemeanor, the felony always takes precedence over the misdemeanor. If all the Part II crimes are just felonies or just misdemeanors, then use the lowest code number as the element of the URN.
Refer to section 4-02/050.00 for correct coding in multiple crimes.
