Specifications include, but are not limited to: Funded projects and the resulting recommendations will help policymakers, and system and community partners, improve the effectiveness of implementation and enforcement of the state’s firearm relinquishment laws. This NOFO is intended to complement COMMERCE’s other SCIP-funded projects to collectively improve the implementation and enforcement of the state’s firearm relinquishment laws. PROJECT AREA 1: Data Collection and Analysis Building on previous research at the city or county level, this project will collect and analyze trends in available data on ERPOs and OTSPWs issued in civil and criminal cases, including data reflecting jurisdiction (i.e., court, county, law enforcement agency), demographics of petitioners and respondents (i.e., gender, race, ethnicity, age), types of orders, basis for and duration of orders, any delay between order and relinquishment of firearms, number of firearms removed, data related to compliance, violations, and sanctions, and cases where there were multiple relinquishment orders for a single respondent/defendant. The project should be replicable in future years and could result in recommendations for additional types of data to be collected, measures to increase crossjurisdictional data availability and comparability, ways to synthesize data from multiple sources, and/or steps to make existing data more accessible and accurate. OR PROJECT AREA 2: Dashboard Design and Implementation The design and implementation of a dashboard populated with real-time data for law enforcement agencies, courts, prosecutors’ offices and other system partners, at the time of petition request or first appearance, issuance of full orders, service, and compliance review. On a county, regional or other jurisdictional basis, the dashboard would track active orders, and flag obstacles in issuing, processing, serving, and enforcing orders.
