BJS FY 12 National Crime Statistics Exchange Project-Phase 1

BJS is pleased to announce that it is seeking an applicant to provide project management and coordination, technological systems design, and implementation and technical assistance services in connection with the National Crime Statistics Exchange (NCS-X) Project. The NCS-X Project seeks to build an ongoing statistical collection from a nationally representative system of incident-level records on offenses known to law enforcement agencies. The sample-based system would leverage the capabilities of existing record management systems and automated information exchanges. NCS-X should enable analysts to provide reliable national crime estimates in a very short period of time and will also strive to return meaningful statistical information and analytical support to the law enforcement community.
