FAIRFAX, Va.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--SRA International, Inc. (NYSE: SRX), a leading provider of technology and strategic consulting services and solutions to government organizations and commercial clients, today announced thatPlatinum Solutions has been awarded a task order valued at more than $9 million with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), to deliver a modernized Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) system that will improve the efficiency and usefulness of nationwide crime statistics data. SRA recently acquired Platinum Solutions.
"We are honored to support the FBI in their mission to generate a reliable set of criminal statistics for use in law enforcement administration, operation and management"
Under the terms of the UCR, SRA will develop and implement a flexible, scalable UCR system that will improve system and process performance to enhance technical capabilities for providing offense information, to reduce turnaround time for publications and special requests for information, and to reduce operational costs.
aWe are honored to support the FBI in their mission to generate a reliable set of criminal statistics for use in law enforcement administration, operation and management,a said SRA Vice President Adam Rossi. aUCR is a long-standing national program, and SRA Platinum Solutions is committed to delivering the next generation replacement.a
The UCR program has expanded in scope, importance and size since its inception more than seven decades ago. The program began with law enforcement agencies in 400 cities from 43 states submitting crime data in January 1930 and now encompasses approximately 18,000 city, county, university, state, tribal and federal law enforcement agencies across the country. The culmination of this national data collection effort is three annual publications: Crime in the United States, Hate Crime Statistics, and Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted, all of which have become sources of data widely used by law enforcement administrators, government policy makers, social science researchers, the media and private citizens.
In November 2010, SRA completed the acquisition of Platinum Solutions, an award-winning leader in systems integration and mission-critical enterprise software development. Its software helps government customers analyze terrorist activities, arrest violent criminals, and improve the safety of prescription drugs.
