    1. Implementing NIBRS in Kansas Or Stumbling Down the NIBRS Yellow Brick Road

    2. Incident Based Reporting In Kansas Implemented in 1984 by all agencies except the Wichita Police Department New KIBRS program released in 1993 that was thought to be NIBRS Compliant Revised KIBRS program implemented January 1, 1999 that was NIBRS Compliant

    3. KIBRS 1984 Before the Tornado Struck Fifteen major agencies submitted data by tape or floppy KBI able to keep up with data entry Data converted to UCR for FBI Database used for crime analysis Stolen Property Suspect comparisons by victim / crime type

    4. KIBRS 1993 The Wicked Witch of the North Places a Curse on Kansas

    5. 1993 Problems Only three agencies were able to submit data on floppy State supplied software was a data entry program that only met state needs Requirements for submitting electronically were confusing to other vendors and hard to follow

    6. 1993 Problems Continued First data entry program for KBI staff was not user friendly and had large time delays between screens Second program was written in Dbase Provided to operators 6 months after implementation Learning curve and database problems quickly resulted in a 1 year backlog More data to key because less agencies submitting electronically

    7. Kansas not able to meet Crime in the United States deadlines since 1993. No Crime in Kansas published since 1994. Most current data available 1998!

    8. 1997 Along came the Munchkins KCJIS Launched KCJIS Advisory Board Structured KIBRS Subcommittee The four major agencies representing 75% of all crime data reported Two smaller agencies also on committee

    9. KIBRS Subcommittee Reviewed and supported existing data elements Recommended that reporting standards be based on NIBRS and not necessarily state statute requirements Conceived concept of KIBRS Gateway

    10. KIBRS Gateway Software application that contains the state required edits Provides a standard method for the submission of KIBRS data using Secure Remote and the Internet Provided free of charge to interfacing agencies

    11. 1998 We Contracted with the Lion, Scarecrow, and Tinman

    12. Contracts Awarded Business Software and Equipment (BSE) for a local Law Enforcement Case Management Application and KIBRS Gateway Paradigm4 for KIBRS data entry program at the KBI, KIBRS database and NIBRS conversion program Brian Huffman, Huffman Interprises 877-814-6309 Voice/Fax/Message BSE

    13. Local Case Management Application Developed in Microsoft Access Contains the KSOR and the KSAR Allows agency to transfer data from KSAR to a fingerprint card and Kansas Disposition Report Provides for Supplement case reporting Provides for the data entry of the Kansas Accident Report Form Creates a file for field contacts and warrants

    14. KIBRSLE Application Released May 1999 to 125 agencies Version 1.6.0 with Gateway released October 2000 21 agencies using the application are currently submitting through the Gateway 104 agencies have requested Version 1.7.1 currently being released

    15. KIBRS Gateway Interface Agencies Two agencies currently certified to submit through Gateway Four other agencies will complete testing by the end of this quarter Those four agencies are working with vendors that are contracted to 16 other agencies Five other vendors currently working on interface that have contracts with 32 agencies

    16. Four Agencies with Populations over 100,000 Wichita PD has completed initial testing, expected implementation March 2002 Topeka PD is signing contracts with a vendor currently testing through another agency Kansas City PD vendor is actively working on interface Overland Park PD is certified and submitting data

    17. NIBRS Certification We have met the Wizard of Oz but we still haven’t found the Rainbow

    18. NIBRS Testing Testing started in January 2000 Sixteen submissions Error rate for both arrests and incidents was less that 0.4% This means that our Gateway Edit program is correct! Certified NIBRS Compliant on February 16, 2001

    19. What would I have done different? Developed a thin client case management system managed by the KBI Small agencies have little if any access to technical assistance Once the agencies outgrow ACCESS we cannot convert to SEQUEL because of the lack of technical support at the local level Taken more control over the Case Management subcommittee

    20. What do we need to do to find the Rainbow? Training, training and more training One on one contact with agencies using the KIBRSLE Application Development of an interactive Kansas crime statistic site for the public Get published in CIU 2001
