Who we are

In 1930, the Federal Bureau of Investigation published the first Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program report, launching a national effort to collect and standardize crime data. This groundbreaking initiative advanced knowledge of reported crime statistics, shaped how crime trends are analyzed, and continues to serve as an important resource for researchers, reformers, policymakers, and law enforcement agencies.

1930 Research LLC is a boutique consulting firm that carries this legacy forward with unmatched expertise in crime data. Our mission is simple: to transform complex data into actionable information that can help clients meet their goals and increase knowledge and policy about crime and crime-related topics.

Led by a founder who served on the FBI’s advisory body for crime data standards, we bring a rare combination of advanced technical skills and real-world experience to every project. We have worked with complex datasets ranging from large police agencies’ entire CAD, RMS, and IAPro databases to the FBI’s UCR data—and everything in between. Our team has developed the Crime Data Tool, a public resource for exploring crime trends, and released cleaned UCR data that has been cited in hundreds of published academic papers. With experience spanning spatial data, Big Data, and integrating diverse data sources, we meet challenges of any scale head-on and deliver trusted results.
