FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. SB 46
2021 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
This bill amends AS 44.41 relating to the Department of Public Safety (DPS) by adding a new section requiring DPS to
establish a statewide useofforce database, to collect reports of use of force from certain agencies, to record in the
database each incident in which force was used, and to prepare an annual report to the legislature detailing information
contained in the database.
DPS currently leverages the FBI's National Use of Force Data Collection program to view data submitted by 17 contributing
Alaska law enforcement agencies. While the FBIs program is similar to the use of force database requirements under this
bill, the data elements are different.
The cost to establish a statewide useofforce database within an existing data collection application is estimated at
$60,000 to purchase the software and $10,000 annually thereafter for system maintenance and support, and to maintain
the application in a hosted environment. An estimated onetime cost of $50,000 will be needed to develop and implement
interface specifications.
Based on the current processing times for DPS staff to manually enter Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) data form reports
provided by law enforcement agencies, it is estimated that two fulltime positions will be needed to support and maintain
the new database and reporting requirements. This estimate is based on the ability to process an estimated 150 incidents
per week and receiving an estimated 15,000 incidents annually from reporting agencies. Due to the level of analysis
needed, the duties most closely align with a Research Analyst II. The cost of two Research Analysist II positions is
estimated to be $218,600 for the initial year, and $206,000 every year thereafter.
