This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics (CFDA 16.550 - State Justice Statistics Program for Statistical Analysis Centers) provides $128,672 to the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Criminal Justice (LCLE) to support its Louisiana Statistical Analysis Center (LSAC).

The award will fund two key projects over a 3-year period from October 2024 to September 2027. First, it will cover annual cloud hosting for the LSAC's TrackCrime data system. Second, it will support an assessment of juvenile crime statistics in TrackCrime and LIBRS, and the creation of a separate statewide juvenile-specific analytic dashboard. These efforts will enhance LSAC's ability to access, analyze, and report on statewide criminal justice data to inform policy and decision-making in Louisiana.
