This Cooperative Agreement award of $217,924.00 from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics (CFDA 16.550 - State Justice Statistics Program for Statistical Analysis Centers) supports two key projects at the University of Wyoming's Wyoming Survey & Analysis Center (WYSAC).

The first project focuses on expanding the REROUTE juvenile justice data collection system to integrate additional juvenile justice data and enhance reporting capabilities. The second project builds on WYSAC's 2023 State Justice Statistics Initiative, aiming to integrate data from criminal justice, healthcare, and service providers to better understand the pathways of individuals with mental health and substance use disorders within the criminal justice system in Natrona County, Wyoming. The goal is to develop policy changes and interventions that divert these individuals from the justice system and connect them with more appropriate treatment options.

This 3-year award, effective from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027, supports the University of Wyoming's efforts to enhance data collection, integration, and analysis within the juvenile and criminal justice systems in Wyoming.
