CDC’s National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS)

CDC’s National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) & Law Enforcement

 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) links details of violent deaths – the “who, when, where and how” – and shares insights into “why” they occurred.

 

NVDRS uses information from law enforcement reports, death certificates, and coroner/medical examiner reports (including toxicology) to monitor and characterize violent deaths. NVDRS is the only state-based online reporting system that pools data on violent deaths and their circumstances from multiple sources into one anonymous database. No personally identifiable information is collected in the web-based system.
