Design and Implementation of Specific Data Import Profiles

The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG) allows states and units of local government, including tribes, to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based on their own state and local needs and conditions. Grant funds can be used for state and local initiatives, technical assistance, training, personnel, equipment, supplies, contractual support, and information systems for criminal justice, including for any one or more of the following purpose areas: 1) law enforcement programs; 2) prosecution and court programs; 3) prevention and education programs; 4) corrections and community corrections programs; 5) drug treatment and enforcement programs; 6) planning, evaluation, and technology improvement programs; and 7) crime victim and witness programs (other than compensation).

The disparate entities of city of Oakdale and Washington County will share a 2010 JAG application. This award will be used by the Oakdale Police Department for a contract with The Omega Group for the development, testing, and implementation of Data Import Profiles. This will allow data to be taken from Washington County's new Record Management System for use by the Oakdale Police Department's Crime Analyst. The Crime Analyst will be able to use this data from Washington County in conjunction with Oakdale's CrimeView mapping application.
