Hawaii FY24 SJSP

The Hawaii SAC proposes to continue NIBRS program improvement and expansion efforts in the State of Hawaii. Project funds will be used by the state UCR program (a SAC role in Hawaii) to extend its parent agency's membership in the Open Justice Broker Consortium to include 370 additional technical assistance hours from SEARCH. The TA will be used to (1) provide technical assistance to support NIBRS recertification efforts for the Honolulu PD’s forthcoming new records management system and for the newly formed Department of Law Enforcement, relative to the readiness and needs of those agencies; (2) develop a simplified public NIBRS dashboard distinct from the current private dashboard used by program personnel; (3) restructure the NIBRS repository’s analytics database for improved optimization to allow for more complex counting methods and enhanced statistics; (4) update the repository and the Hawaii-specific version of SEARCH’s Pre-Certification Tool to reflect the FBI’s 2023.0 NIBRS technical specifications and manual; and (5) perform system update and maintenance operations. Project funds will also be used for program personnel to attend NIBRS-related conferences hosted by BJS, FBI, ASUCRP, and/or JIRN.
