RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2018/221 authorizing the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant from US Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Statistics for an initial amount of $118,825 for funding to upgrade crime reporting systems to comply with State and Federal mandated state-specific incident based crime reporting data, which goes into effect January 1, 2021. Funding form the FY2018 NCS-X Implementation Assistance Program: Support for Local Law Enforcement Grant, is available to support the costs associated with the system upgrade. Term of the grant is December 1, 2018 through November 30,2020 or through the end of the grant funding availability.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No Net County Cost: 100% grant funding

BACKGROUND:

The FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division (CJIS) established and maintains the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). To generate detailed national estimates of crime known to law enforcement, using NIBRS data, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) and the FBI are supporting the National Crime Statistics Exchange (NCS-X) Initiative. To support statistically sound national estimates of crime, the NCS-X program will support the transition to NIBRIs reporting of a scientifically selected sample of 400 LE agencies nationwide. The Office of the Sheriff’s current system is compliant with the NIBRS for direct reporting to the FBI, however it does not comply with the State and Federal state-specific incident based crime reporting model that is being implemented and mandated for compliance by the January 1, 2021 implementation date. The State of California Department of Justice has released the additional 196 data elements that will be required for reporting to the state. This grant will provide funding for the programming costs required to add California specific reporting requirements.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the Board of Supervisors fail to approve the Office of the Sheriff will be required to use general fund monies to complete the upgrades to meet mandated State and Federal requirements.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
