Incident Types

IMS Incident Types

IMS incident types are used to classify incidents for reporting and search purposes. The current(ish) list of incident types used by Rangers in BRC is below.

Note that there are two special incident types which are used to exclude incidents from reporting. These are "Admin" and "Junk". See below for details.

• 007 - The incident involved a 007 call. This may or may not have resulted in an eviction (see the Evicted type on this page).

• Admin — Administrative information; not an actual incident in the field. Used for tracking informational calls such as "Tool is in a meeting until 1500" or other administrative details that are relevant to IMS users but not an actual incident. This also includes things like tech outages. These incidents are excluded from reporting.

• Aggressive Participant — A participant is potentially or actually violent.

• Animal — An animal is involved.

• Art — An art project (either an art piece, or a member of an art project) is involved. This is an incident that may be of interest to the art department.
