The resolution urges the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Criminal Justice, along with state and local law enforcement agencies, to enhance their crime data reporting to achieve full compliance with the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) established by the FBI. It emphasizes the importance of rigorous empirical studies to understand the factors influencing criminal behavior and the necessity of comprehensive data for evidence-based policing and policy-making. The resolution highlights the inadequacies of the previous Summary Reporting System and calls for a consistent and thorough approach to crime data reporting.

Furthermore, the resolution mandates that the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement include a detailed section in its annual report that outlines the progress of law enforcement agencies towards NIBRS compliance. This section should provide information on each agency's certification status, compliance levels, and any deficiencies. Additionally, the report should offer recommendations to assist law enforcement agencies in achieving full compliance with NIBRS for at least three consecutive years, thereby improving the overall effectiveness of crime data reporting in Louisiana.
