FY 2018 NCS-X Implementation Assistance Program: Support for Local Law Enforcement Agencies, Part 1

(Solicitation)
The FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division established and
maintains the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). To generate
detailed
national estimates of crime known to law enforcement (LE) using NIBRS data, the
Bureau
of Justice Statistics (BJS) and the FBI are supporting the National Crime
Statistics
Exchange (NCS-X) Initiative. To produce statistically sound national estimates of
crime, the NCS-X program will support the transition to NIBRS reporting of a
scientifically selected sample of 400 LE agencies nationwide. Through this
solicitation, BJS seeks proposals to enable up to 173 local LE agencies in the NCS-
X
sample, agencies that are currently not reporting incident-based data to the
Uniform
Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, to report incident-based crime data to the FBI’s
NIBRS,
either through their state UCR Program or directly to the FBI. BJS funding
decisions
under this solicitation will be made in coordination with, and with the concurrence
of, the FBI’s CJIS Division.
All registrations and applications are due by 5:00 p.m. eastern time on May 16, 2018.
