Background:
This report provides a summary of the progress made over the past three years in the design and implementation of the Public Safety Portal (PSP), including its creation, configuration, and collection of required data. The PSP project initiated in response to HB 403 (2022), which directs the Commission on Criminal & Juvenile Justice (CCJJ) and Division of Technology Services (DTS) to develop a centralized, secure, and standardized system for collecting, managing, and reporting statutorily required data from Public Safety Systems across the state. It is designed to enhance automation, accessibility, and data quality while serving as a shared platform for reporting entities, the legislature, and the public.
- Over the past three years, DTS, DPS and CCJJ have made significant progress in designing the system architecture, establishing automated data connections, and implementing core components of the PSP. The infrastructure is hosted on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP), ensuring a robust, scalable, and secure foundation that can support long-term growth, and handle increasing volumes and complexity of the public safety data. A role-based web application has been implemented to serve as the primary interface, allowing authorized users to submit required data, access dashboards, and view relevant reports. This functionality enhances both data integrity and user experience, supporting efficient information-sharing and informed decision-making.
- Key accomplishments include establishing automated data connections with local systems, configuring key modules and user-access controls, and developing dashboards to support transparency and oversight.
- We continue to advance the PSP project, with ongoing efforts focused on expanding system capabilities, establishing automated data connections with additional systems, and implementing standardized data practices to strengthen data quality, consistency, and usability. These efforts are essential to ensuring that the PSP remains a reliable, scalable platform that supports statewide coordination, oversight, and informed policy development.
