Louisiana Statistical Analysis Center

Providing Crime Statistics for Louisiana

The Louisiana Statistical Analysis Center (LSAC) is designed to maintain and enhance the collection and distribution of criminal justice data. This data is provided to the Governor, Legislature, Sheriff’s Offices, Police Departments, and Criminal Justice Agencies with a proficient objective to research and analyze the criminal justice issues in Louisiana. This statistical research is to improve the effectiveness of policymaking, program development, and planning, and provide a statistical picture of the changes in crime and useful data to recognize problems in Louisiana.

TEI contracted with Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement to create a content-managed website with the ability to post meetings, publications, and launch surveys needed in the collection of criminal justice data. TEI set up various surveys such as annual sexual assault reports, Death in Custody reports, and DNA reports with secure user access for managers. TEI trained the LCLE staff to manage the content after the initial setup. TEI also created a syncing program that sends the survey data to other LCLE-managed systems for collective analytics and automated aggregation for publications.
