5. Uniform Crime Reporting
UCR’s crime statistics serve law enforcement administration, operation, and management; officer safety training; and research
Three annual FBI reports:
Crime in the United States
Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA)
Hate Crime Statistics

6. Law Enforcement National Data Exchange
Information sharing across jurisdictions
Accesses submitted police, corrections, probation and parole reports
Searches for common details: powerful entity resolution and correlation tools
Analysis and trending capabilities

7. Legacy UCR Current UCR system deployed – early 1970s
Relies heavily upon manual processes
Paper submissions and paper analysis – obstacles to
modernization

8. Uniform Crime Reporting
Redevelopment Project (UCRRP)
UCRRP Goal
To improve UCR usability, efficiency, and maintainability while increasing the value to users of UCR products
UCRRP Objectives
Automate rules-based data quality checks
Enable more frequent publication
Provide Internet access to UCR data
Reduce/eliminate the exchange of printed materials
Modernize technology

9. UCRRP Development and Integration
Platinum Solutions – awarded contract 12/2010
Conducted market studies to examine solution alternatives from law enforcement, industry, and other government agencies
Platinum Solutions partnered with Oracle
Oracle Business Intelligence suite of tools
Highly configurable COTS solution that meets FBI needs and requires minimal customization
Positions UCR for future enhancements including Geographic Information Systems and Predictive Analytics

Timeline

12. Volume of Paper Submissions
Each year, the FBI receives and processes nearly 200,000 paper submissions.
This manual entry consumes nearly 30,000 hours and adds significant delay to our processing of data.
No State Program

13. UCRRP – Eliminate Paper Submitting Agency Options
Eliminate “paper” data submissions as a standard collection method by January 2013 X
Submitting Agency Options
Migrate to one of several electronic UCR reporting formats, including NIBRS, electronic Summary, or XML beginning in 2013
Utilize UCR web data entry tools for Summary reporting
Utilize FBI developed MS Excel Summary reporting tools

14. How can the FBI help states participate with UCR?
State Programs
UCR solutions vary from state to state
Many are not integrated with a state RMS
Many are custom applications with limited or no vendor support
Mainframe, custom apps, MS Excel, MS Access, etc.
Budget cuts are limiting state UCR operations
Funding is scarce for making system changes
States bear the cost of “unfunded mandates”
Shrinking state operations staff is commonplace
How can the FBI help states participate with UCR?

15. UCR Shared Solution
Sharing UCR via an online solutions – allows data submitters to collect, analyze, edit, report on, approve, and submit UCR data to the FBI
Leverages the UCRRP SOA and Oracle solution
Decreases variability in state reporting formats
Decreases federal/state data inconsistencies
Provides avenue for states wanting to go NIBRS
Makes best use of funding for mandated changes
May encourage direct contributor states (IN, MS, OH, NM) to establish state programs
Web service interface potential with RMS
Trial the Shared Solution concept with South Carolina

16. State/Federal UCR Solution
State Users would have access to state data only. Solution would be configurable for some state variability and state identity.
CJIS Services
Shared UCR 5 4 3
CJIS CSMU
Some LEAs send data to State Program.
Some LEAs submit data via the UCR State Portal.
The State Program submits and manages aggregate data via the UCR State Portal.
State Program decides when to approve data for submission.
CJIS CSMU reviews, analyzes, and publishes data.
