Nebraska NIBRS Update and Expansion
Note:
This awardee has received supplemental funding. This award detail page includes information about both the original award and supplemental awards.
In 2015, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) sought applications for funding to support the National Crime Statistics Exchange (NCS-X) Implementation Assistance Program Phase I – Support for State Programs. The purpose of the Phase I Implementation Assistance Program was to provide funding to states that would support (1) the implementation of a new state-level incident-based crime reporting program certified as capable of reporting data to the FBI’s NIBRS, or (2) the expansion of an existing state-level crime reporting program currently certified to report data to the FBI’s NIBRS so that the program may receive and process more incident-based crime data, or (3) state programs that are in the process of transitioning from a Summary Reporting System (SRS) to a system capable to receive state-specific incident-based crime data and report it in the NIBRS format to the FBI.
With this supplemental award, the Nebraska Commission on Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice, with assistance from BJS and the NCS-X implementation team, will conduct readiness assessments for four NCS-X sample agencies located in Nebraska. In addition, with supplemental funding Nebraska will seek to improve the automation and workflow of submission of NIBRS data from local agencies to the state. Funding will be used to improve the stateÂ’s data flow and develop the capacity, at the state level, to receive from local agencies and submit to the FBI data that conforms to the newly developed national XML specifications.
