Crash Records Section

The Crash Records Section located in the Transportation Statistics Bureau. We collect data from the New Mexico Uniform Crash Reports (UCR) from all law enforcement agencies (state police, municipal police, tribal police, campus police, and county sheriffs). The total number of reports analyzed is approximately 70,000 annually. Due to our guidelines approximately 49,000 reports are inputted in the master database annually. The data is analyzed, referenced with codes, compiled into a master crash database (Crash Records Capture System (CRCS)). The completed UCR's are scanned and imaged for future referencing. Summary reports are provided from the CRCS database for editing and quality control.
