Arizona FY24 SJSP

The Arizona Statistical Analysis Center (AZSAC), housed within the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission (ACJC), requests funds to support a core capacity-building project, titled “Enhancing the Integration, Utility, and Access of the Arizona Criminal History Data” and one special-emphasis capacity-building project, titled “Improving Agency Reporting of Death in Custody Reporting Act (DCRA) Incidents.”  The AZSAC staff has been working for many years with Arizona criminal history records, and staff are assigned to DCRA data collection and reporting on behalf of Arizona law enforcement and corrections agencies. The AZSAC will establish a secure, electronic transfer of Arizona Computerized Criminal History data for improved integration and automated data validation within the agency’s Data Warehouse environment. Efficient access to criminal history data and metrics will be provided to internal staff for expedited research project completion and real-time decision-making. AZSAC staff will also work with a service provider to 1) program a bulk upload option for DCRA reporting, 2) provide a data export feature for internal research staff and reporting agencies, and 3) establish improved administrative tracking of incidents in the ACJC Reporting Tool DCRA Module.
