Currently, the Sheriffs Office partners with the State Attorneys 0111ex, the <br />School Bow el, and llRS via a computer network called f3(.�TR AK. This system allows fnr <br />consolidated collection and analysis of data fmm all participating agencies associated with <br />juvenile, crime/incidents. This data can them be used in problem identification and analyses, <br />which assist in the development of immediate and long term solutions.

Panicipating in *is grant <br />initiative will allow the agency to commit to a 100% time commitment through the hiring of one <br />full time civilian crime analyst to be assigned specifically to the ajWn y's GOTRAK program. <br />AUGUST 13, 1996 32 <br />
