Description:
|
PSP has been awarded grant funding from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) to expand the state’s capacity to report incident-based crime data to the FBI’s NIBRS. This will include a redesign and rebuild of the existing PAUCRS system. The FBI is developing a plan to establish NIBRS as the law enforcement crime data reporting standard for the nation, with a complementary plan to phase out the SRS of the UCR Program. This will result in an increase in the number of local law enforcement agencies reporting data to NIBRS.
The typical mechanism by which a local agency contributes data to NIBRS is through its “state pipeline”, whereby agencies report their incident-based crime data to the NIBRS-certified UCR program in their respective state, and the state agency then sends the data from all the state’s contributing agencies to the FBI. The FBI advocates the use of the “state pipeline” for crime data reporting. The plan to transition local agencies to NIBRS reporting requires enhancing the “state pipeline” to ensure state Uniform Crime Reporting programs are capable of receiving and processing local incident-based crime data. Enhancing states’ capacity to receive and transmit NIBRS data is an effort jointly supported by BJS and by the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division (CJIS).
UCR and NIBRS are both regulated by the FBI and both use the same general concepts. NIBRS goes into greater detail than UCR and has 46 Group A offenses while UCR only has 8 Part I offenses. UCR does not differentiate between completed and attempted crimes while NIBRS does. Also, UCR tends to only report the most serious offense reported when multiple crimes are reported in the same period of time, location, and person/group of people.
Within the proposal that was submitted, PSP applied to redesign the PAUCRS application to accommodate the additional detail that NIBRS requires. The enhanced system will be capable of accepting and submitting both SRS and NIBRS data and will implement the system on a current and stable platform.
Several COTS products have been identified that claim to be able to capture both SRS and NIBRS data. Utilizing one of these products may be a possibility if they meet the requirements.
