Award Information
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2013, $56,698)
The State Justice Statistics (SJS) Program is designed to maintain and enhance each state's capacity to address criminal justice issues through collection and analysis of data. The SJS Program provides support to each state to coordinate and conduct statistical activities within the state, conduct research to estimate impacts of legislative and policy changes, and serve as a liaison in assisting BJS to gather data from respondent agencies within their states.
Under the State Justice Statistics Program, the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) proposes to develop a web interface for the transmission of NIBRS data to the Indiana State Police's (ISP) newly created Indiana Interagency Information Sharing and Incident Based Reporting System (IISIBRS). State law enforcement agencies will be able to search, link, analyze, and share crime information with other state, local, and Federal agencies nationwide. Agencies serving as pilot sites will work with ISP and the FBI to ensure their data is certified and vetted. Upon completion of the pilot, ISP will implement IISIBRS statewide. Funds are also being requested for staff travel to NIBRS-related training and to attend Tennessee's TIBRS User Group Conference in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. IISIBRS will be modeled after the TIBRS system. CA/NCF
