Utilizing our extensive knowledge of, and experience with, database
technologies, we helped several governmental agencies collect and manage
statewide data systems. These systems are used for research, analysis and
reporting, including legislative reports. Below is a case study outlining a
project with law enforcement, built to streamline the lengthy process of
incident reporting. |

The Louisiana Incident-Based Reporting System (LIBRS) system, a key statewide
system for the Louisiana law enforcement community, collects criminal incident
data from law enforcement agencies throughout Louisiana. LIBRS replaces a manual
system for reporting crime statistics to the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) that has been used by law enforcement agencies for decades. In the past,
each law enforcement agency compiled summary crime statistics for their
jurisdiction and forwarded the summarized data to the FBI for inclusion in the
national Crime in the U.S. report.
The new system collects actual incident reports filed by police officers when a
crime is reported. This data is collected at each individual site and then sent
(usually via the Internet) to the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Association data center,
where the LIBRS database is located. A series of procedures follow to verify the
accuracy of the data before it is placed in the LIBRS relational
database. Every data element is verified using the LIBRS edit program. Data
from this database will form the basis for the annual Crime in Louisiana
report. The crime data can then be used by analysts for research and reports to legislative committees.
Developing systems to coordinate data exchanges between nearly 400 Louisiana law
enforcement agencies, the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Association Data Center, the
Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice, and the FBI
presented a challenge. Technology Engineers understands the complexities of
managing and moving large amounts of data. By using our standard Project
Management Methodology we were able to develop a management system to handle
large amounts of criminal data from municipalities throughout Louisiana.
