CJJIS Council Projects

CJNet
Oversees ongoing development of the CJNet, recommend needed policies, plan for growth of the network, recommend priorities on the types of applications it should support and devise strategies for cooperative funding, both through the federal government's grant programs and the legislative appropriations process.

Florida Incident-Based Reporting System (FIBRS)
The FIBRS project is the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s (FDLE) solution for local and state law enforcement agencies to comply with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) deadline to convert Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) from summary data to incident-based data. FIBRS provides a mechanism to consolidate the data collection processes for the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), the National Use-of-Force data collection, the Law Enforcement Information Exchange (LInX), law enforcement employee counts, and Florida specific data elements from various law enforcement agencies to study multi-jurisdictional patterns and trends. The planned improvements and efficiencies in the work processes enable FDLE to add additional data sharing services and maintain sufficient productivity in the face of growing demands. While most law enforcement agencies have their own information systems with their data structures and codes, FIBRS implementation standardizes the data across different agencies, so they can be combined easily for multi-jurisdictional analyses. 

Criminal Justice Data Transparency (CJDT)
The CJDT project implements the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s (FDLE) solution(s) to comply with the legislative mandate to provide criminal justice data to the public. The solution must provide a mechanism for state and local agencies to submit data to FDLE, store the data, and provide an ability to integrate with other systems. The electronic submission of the data will happen through several different data streams from other agencies to FDLE. This will include data submissions from systems such as the Computerized Criminal History (CCH) system. Other statistical data not captured and maintained within the CCH system, are gathered through other pre-determined methods, compiled, analyzed, and made available to the public. All data, as allowed by law or policy, are available through an Open Data Management Platform. The planned implementation will enable FDLE to provide the availability of searchable and downloadable criminal justice datasets in a modern, open, electronic, machine-readable format per s. 900.05 and s.943.6871, Florida Statutes. 
 
Uniform Arrest Affidavit (UAA)
The purpose of the Uniform Arrest Affidavit (UAA) project is to implement the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s (FDLE) solution(s) to comply with the legislative mandate to provide a Uniform Arrest Affidavit for all criminal justice agencies in the state of Florida.
