Under this award, the new jersey department of public safety requests funds to implement the new jersey state polices (NJSP) records management system (RMS) modernization project

The New Jersey Department of Law & Public Safety received a $2,880,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Statistics under the National Criminal History Improvement Program (CFDA 16.554). The purpose of the award is to modernize the New Jersey State Police's Records Management System (RMS) by replacing end-of-life components, which is critical for managing incident life cycles used by 2,000 troopers, investigators, and support staff. Expected outcomes include increased accuracy and availability of records related to incidents, arrests, summons, firearms purchases, and investigations. This federal grant funding will enable the New Jersey Department of Law & Public Safety to deliver these technology upgrades and process improvements to enhance the operations and data quality of the statewide law enforcement RMS.

The purpose is to utilize a systematic and targeted approach for the statewide modernization of its current RMS by eliminating end-of-life (EOL) components of the RMS platform, which is mission-critical and necessary for managing incident life cycle used by 2,000 troopers, investigators, and back-office agents for NJSP. The expected outcomes of the project include increased accuracy and availability of records of incidents created by troopers and investigators; arrest report details including narratives, summons warning inquiries, firearm purchase inquires, and investigation of incidents used by intelligence and special investigation units including high-tech crimes.
