Tucson, Arizona CITY OF TUCSON
WITH GUN RELATED CRIME RATES INCREASING IN TUCSON, ARIZONA OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, THE TUCSON POLICE DEPARTMENT (TPD) IS COMMITTED TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF TECHNOLOGICAL INTERVENTIONS TO COMBAT THIS GROWING PROBLEM. ONE-THIRD OF GUN-RELATED CRIME (GRC) CASES WITHIN TPD GO UNASSIGNED DUE TO A LACK OF SUFFICIENT INVESTIGATIVE INFORMATION, AND THIS NUMBER IS INCREASING. THE NEED TO SOLVE CASES MORE EFFECTIVELY IS PRESSING IN THE CONTEXT OF EQUITY AND EQUAL ACCESS TO JUSTICE AS VIOLENCE IN TUCSON DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTS COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. TPD AIMS TO ADOPT INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY TO TACKLE THE ESCALATING RATES OF GRC AND ENHANCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INVESTIGATIONS. TPD IS SEEKING TO USE CUTTING-EDGE, NON-RELATIONAL DATABASES TO CONNECT PEOPLE, PLACES, AND SOCIETAL PROBLEMS ACROSS LATENT NETWORKS AND STRATEGICALLY DEPLOY INVESTIGATIVE RESOURCES TO DISRUPT THE MOST AT-RISK CONNECTIONS. TPD'S OBJECTIVE IS TO ENHANCE ITS SOCIAL NETWORK ANALYSIS AND NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING CAPABILITY BY INTEGRATING BOTH VECTOR AND GRAPH DATABASES, THEREBY IDENTIFYING CASE-RELEVANT INFORMATION THAT WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE GONE UNNOTICED. THE PROJECT WILL SPAN THREE YEARS AND HAVE THREE MAIN GOALS. FIRST, IT WILL TEST THE UTILITY OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO CONNECT UNSTRUCTURED AND DISPARATE CRIMINAL INTELLIGENCE DATA, SUPPORT SOCIAL NETWORK ANALYSIS, AND DESIGN MACHINE LEARNING SOLUTIONS TO SUPPORT GRC INVESTIGATIONS. SECOND, THE PROPOSAL WILL HELP TO PROVIDE CLEARER EVIDENCE OF THE CONNECTION BETWEEN TECHNOLOGY DERIVED INTELLIGENCE AND THE DISRUPTION OF CRIMINAL NETWORKS. THIRD, THE PROPOSAL WOULD ADVANCE THE STATE OF POLICING PRACTICE, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND SCIENCE BY DEVELOPING PROTOCOLS AND THRESHOLDS FOR APPLYING THE NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO PEOPLE AND PLACES. THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED THROUGH THE ACADEMIC PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COLLABORATIVE SOLUTIONS LAB, A RESEARCH ENTERPRISE HEADED BY SOCIAL SCIENTISTS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA, FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF BEST PRACTICES AND EVALUATIONS. THE PROJECTED RESULTS OF THE PROJECT INVOLVE A RISE IN EFFECTIVE GRC CLEARANCE RATES, INCREASED EFFICIENCY IN INVESTIGATIVE RESOURCE ALLOCATION, AND A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE EQUITABILITY OF MACHINE LEARNING TECHNOLOGY. THE PROJECT WILL SERVE THE COMMUNITY OF TUCSON AND PARTICULARLY THE COMMUNITIES OF COLOR THAT DISPROPORTIONATELY SUFFER FROM VIOLENCE. THE INTENDED BENEFICIARIES OF THE PROJECT ARE THE TUCSON COMMUNITY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, WHICH CAN USE THE PROTOCOLS AND THESE THRESHOLDS DEVELOPED IN THE PROJECT TO IMPROVE THEIR POLICING PRACTICES. 		10/1/2023 9/30/2026 Prime $784,380.00
Chicago, Illinois CITY OF CHICAGO
WHILE STILL PERVASIVE IN SEVERAL SPECIFIC GEOGRAPHICAL SPOTS IN THE CITY, AVAILABLE STATISTICS WILL SHOW THAT GUN-RELATED CRIME IN CHICAGO WAS ON A DOWNWARD TREND THROUGH 2019. HOWEVER, IN 2020 THROUGH 2021, DESPITE PANDEMIC-RELATED LOCKDOWNS, CHICAGO'S DIVERSE COMMUNITIES EXPERIENCED A PRECIPITOUS UPSURGE IN FATAL AND NON-FATAL SHOOTINGS, AND AN EVIDENT INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF POLICE-RECOVERED ILLEGAL FIREARMS. IN 2022, STATISTICS MAINTAINED BY THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT (CPD) DEMONSTRATE THAT ROUGHLY 50% OF SHOOTINGS IN THE CITY OCCUR IN JUST SEVEN OF THE CITY’S 22 POLICE DISTRICTS – DISTRICTS THAT HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED BY THE US ATTORNEY’S OFFICE (USAO) AS PROJECT SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD (PSN) DISTRICTS. OF THE 639 SHOOTING INCIDENTS AND 161 HOMICIDES RECORDED THROUGH APRIL 1, 2022, 340 SHOOTINGS AND 82 HOMICIDES HAVE OCCURRED IN THE PSN DISTRICTS. LOCATED ON THE CITY'S SOUTH AND WEST SIDES, THESE DISTRICTS ACCOUNT FOR MORE CRIME THAN THE 15 OTHER POLICE DISTRICTS COMBINED. NATIONAL RESEARCH SHOWS THAT HOMICIDE RATES INCREASED BY AN UNPRECEDENTED 20% IN 2020, WITH THE TREND APPEARING TO CONTINUE IN 2021 FOR CHICAGO. THROUGH APRIL 2022, WHILE OUR OVERALL CRIME NUMBERS ARE DOWN, CHICAGO HAS RECORDED MORE HOMICIDES THAN NEW YORK OR LOS ANGELES. OUR RECORDS ALSO SHOW THAT OUR OFFICERS RECOVERED MORE THAN 12,000 ILLEGAL FIREARMS IN 2021. THE INCREASE IN GUN VIOLENCE CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO NUMEROUS FACTORS AND MAY, INDIRECTLY BE A RESULT OF INCREASED PUBLIC DISTRUST AND ANGER TOWARD THE POLICE. WHAT IS INCONTROVERTIBLE IS THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT NEEDS: MORE EFFECTIVE TOOLS; IMPROVED DATA AND INTELLIGENCE SHARING BETWEEN FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES; IMPROVED COLLABORATION BETWEEN ALL PUBLIC SAFETY STAKEHOLDERS TO DRASTICALLY REDUCE CRIME GUNS ON THE STREET; AND ENSURE PROSECUTION OF GUN OFFENDERS. CPD WILL USE FY2022 CGIC INTEGRATION INITIATIVE FUNDING TO IMPLEMENT THE CGIC BUSINESS PRACTICE IN SEVEN PSN DISTRICTS BY ENHANCING OUR CAPACITY TO PRODUCE ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATIVE LEADS AND BETTER CORROBORATING PHYSICAL EVIDENCE AIMED AT STRENGTHENING CRIME GUN CASES FOR EFFECTIVE PROSECUTION. TO ACHIEVE THIS, FUNDS WILL BE USED TO FILL AN OPERATIONS ANALYST’S POSITION DEDICATED TO THE PSN DISTRICTS TO ASSIST IN THE PROSECUTION OF CGIC-QUALIFIED CASES AND PURCHASE A COMPARISON MICROSCOPE TO ALLOW THE CPD BALLISTICS LAB TO PRIORITIZE GUN CASES FROM THE PSN DISTRICTS AND DEVELOP MORE TIMELY NIBIN LEADS/BIA ALERTS FOR INVESTIGATORS. MEANWHILE, GRANT FUNDS WILL ALSO BE USED FOR INVESTIGATIVE OVERTIME TO SUPPORT CASE INVESTIGATIONS AND PROSECUTION. 		10/1/2022 9/30/2025 Prime $699,831.00

Newark, New Jersey CITY OF NEWARK NEW JERSEY
THE NEWARK POLICE DIVISION (NPD) SERVES THE LARGEST CITY IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, HOME TO A POPULATION OF 311,549. IN 2021, NEWARK LED NEW JERSEY WITH THE MOST GUN VIOLENCE INCIDENTS AND VICTIMS. THE CITY REPRESENTS ABOUT 3% OF THE STATE’S POPULATION, BUT ALSO REPRESENTS 25% OF FATAL AND NON-FATAL GUN VIOLENCE INCIDENTS AND VICTIMS (NJ STATE POLICE). FROM 2019 TO 2020, FATAL SHOOTINGS INCREASED BY 3%, FOLLOWED BY A 9% INCREASE FROM 2020 TO 2021. YEAR TO DATE, THE NPD HAS RECOVERED 286 GUNS OFF THE STREETS, A 47% INCREASE FROM THE YEAR BEFORE ALREADY. THE TASK OF RESPONDING TO GUN CRIMES, INCLUDING RECOVERING GUNS AND INVESTIGATING GUN CRIMES, IS GETTING MORE CHALLENGING IN NUMBERS AND CRIMINAL ADVANCEMENTS. THE NPD SEEKS TO MAKE THE ACQUISITIONS NECESSARY TO FORMALIZE A CRIME GUN INTELLIGENCE CENTER (CGIC). THE FOUNDATION EXISTS IN NEWARK FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A FORMAL CGIC. THE NPD ASSIGNED INVESTIGATORS TO THE VIOLENT CRIME INITIATIVE (VCI) IN 2020 TO INCORPORATE DETECTIVES INTO THE U.S. ATTORNEY’S OFFICE ON A FULL-TIME BASIS. THIS HAS GROWN INTO A PARTNERSHIP THAT INCLUDES THE ATF, DEA, AND FBI TO COLLABORATE ON GUN CRIME INTELLIGENCE IN THE CITY. AS A JURISDICTION PLAGUED BY GUN VIOLENCE AND MULTI-GENERATIONAL POVERTY, THE NPD MUST LEVERAGE EXISTING AGREEMENTS TO MAXIMIZE NEW RESOURCES FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A CGIC. OUR GOAL IS TO ENHANCE RESOURCES TO REDUCE VIOLENT CRIME IN NEWARK. THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, THE ESSEX COUNTY PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE WILL BE ALLOCATED 20% OF GRANT FUNDS TO PRIORITIZE THE PROSECUTION OF GUN CRIME CASES. THE BALLISTICS LABORATORY WILL RECEIVE A NEW MICROSCOPE THAT WILL SAVE INVESTIGATORS TIME AND RESULT IN HIGHER QUALITY FINDINGS. THE NPD RECOGNIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF ACCESSING THE PERSONAL TECHNOLOGY OF SHOOTERS TO FULLY INVESTIGATE GUN CRIMES. THEREFORE, THE NPD IS REQUESTING FUNDING FOR THE PURCHASE OF CELLEBRITE AND GRAYKEY SOFTWARE TO EXTRACT CRIMINAL CELL PHONE DATA. THE NPD VCI IDENTIFIED ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES INVOLVING THE CITY’S GUN CRIMES AS THE PREVALENCE OF VEHICLES. AS PART OF THE CITY’S PLAN TO EXPAND THE SHOTSPOTTER SYSTEM, THE NPD SEEKS TO DEPLOY LICENSE PLATE READERS TO UNCOVERED HIGH-CRIME AREAS IN THE CITY. EACH PROPOSED PROJECT EXPENDITURE WILL HELP THE NPD EXPAND ITS INTELLIGENCE APPARATUS AND PROVIDE THE CGIC WITH THE TOOLS TO PRODUCE AND SHARE THE BEST INFORMATION POSSIBLE TO CURB GUN CRIMES AND LEAD TO MORE ARRESTS OF VIOLENT CRIMINALS. 		10/1/2022 9/30/2025 Prime $700,000.00
Salt Lake City, Utah UNIFIED POLICE DEPARTMENT OF GREATER SALT LAKE
