Bill > A05195

This bill creates a crime data clearinghouse within the division of criminal justice services, requiring all state departments, agencies, and public corporations to submit their crime-related data to a centralized repository. The clearinghouse will collect crime data from various state entities, including the attorney general's office, department of corrections and community supervision, commission of correction, department of environmental conservation, department of mental hygiene, and the governor's office. The division will be responsible for analyzing this comprehensive crime data annually and producing a report for the legislature and the governor that includes findings, trends, and other relevant information that the commissioner considers important. This centralized approach aims to provide a more comprehensive and coordinated view of crime data across different state agencies, potentially helping policymakers better understand crime patterns and develop more effective strategies for prevention and intervention.
