The Bureau of Justice Statistics awarded a $4,027,500 Cooperative Agreement to the State of Arkansas Judiciary Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) under the National Criminal History Improvement Program (NCHIP). The grant funds will support two goals: 1) Developing an Application Programming Interface (API) to facilitate seamless data exchange between the AOC's AR Courts case management system and the Arkansas Crime Information Center (ACIC), and 2) Enhancing the API to incorporate warrant data, ensuring law enforcement agencies have greater access to accurate criminal justice information. The award period is from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026. The AOC, which serves as the administrative arm of the Arkansas judicial system, will be the primary recipient and implementor of this Cooperative Agreement.

The administrative office of the courts (AOC) is engaged in a statewide court technology initiative to replace the legacy contexte case management system in arkansas courts with a new user interface called AR courts. Grant funds are being requested to support two goals that will advance development of the case management system in arkansas. The first goal involves the development of an application programming interface (API) that facilitates a seamless exchange between arcourts and the arkansas crime information center (ACIC). The second goal builds on the first by enhancing the API exchange with ACIC by incorporating warrant data to ensure that law enforcement agencies have greater access to accurate information.
