Of all types of crime tracked by the NIBRS, simple assault was the most popular crime handled by the Pigeon Forge office.

Officers in Pigeon Forge were involved in 1,055 incidents throughout the year.

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. If an incident involved a homicide as well as aggravated assault and theft, only a homicide would be recorded in criminal statistics.

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