| Department of Justice | THE VIOLENT CRIME RATE IN TEXAS, SINCE THE END OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, HAS CONTINUED TO SLOWLY DECREASE OVER THE PAST COUPLE YEARS WITH A 2% DECREASE SEEN IN VIOLENT CRIME OFFENSES IN 2022 WHICH IS AN IMPROVEMENT FROM THE 1% DECREASE SEEN FROM 2020 TO 2021. DESPITE THE POSITIVE DOWNWARD TREND SEEN WITH VIOLENT CRIME, THERE HAS BEEN AN UPTICK IN THE NUMBER OF PROPERTY CRIMES THAT HAVE OCCURRED IN THE STATE WITH A 9% INCREASE IN PROPERTY CRIME OFFENSES IN 2022. OF THE TOTAL 817,637 INDEX OFFENSES COMMITTED IN 2022, PROPERTY CRIMES ACCOUNTED FOR 84% OF THOSE CRIMES. THE LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD STATED IN THEIR STATEWIDE CRIMINAL AND JUVENILE JUSTICE RECIDIVISM AND REVOCATION RATES REPORT IN FEBRUARY 2023 THAT, REGARDING INDIVIDUALS RELEASED FROM A PRISON OR STATE JAIL FACILITY IN FISCAL YEARS 2018 AND 2019 THAT WERE REARRESTED WITHIN THREE YEARS OF THEIR RELEASE OR START OF SUPERVISION, THE MOST PREVALENT TYPE OF OFFENSE FOR WHICH INDIVIDUALS WERE REARRESTED WAS A DRUG OFFENSE AND THE MOST PREVALENT TYPE OF OFFENSE FOR WHICH INDIVIDUALS WERE REINCARCERATED WAS A DRUG OR PROPERTY OFFENSE. THE TEXAS OFFICE OF THE GOVERNORS PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICE (PSO) PROPOSES TO USE ITS FY2023 BYRNE JAG FUNDS TO FURTHER SUPPORT THE REDUCTION OF CRIME AND MAKING TEXAS A SAFER PLACE WHICH INCLUDES HELPING VICTIMS OF CRIME RECOVER AND FEEL SAFE AGAIN WHILE BUILDING TRUST WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES WITH LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT. GRANT FUNDS MAY BE USED TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND COURT PERSONNEL, SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT AND TRAINING FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT, OFFICER WELLNESS PROGRAMS, PRE-TRIAL DIVERSION PROGRAMS, JAIL OR PRISON-BASED TREATMENT PROGRAMS, REENTRY PROGRAMS, COMMUNITY POLICING AND COMMUNITY-BASED VIOLENCE PREVENTION PROGRAMS, AND SPECIALIZED SOFTWARE AND TRAINING FOR COURT AND CORRECTIONAL PERSONNEL.

| Department of Justice | TEXAS HAS A BACKLOG OF 13,240 PIECES OF FORENSIC EVIDENCE WITH 79% OF THE PENDING REQUESTS BEING RELATED TO ALCOHOL, SEIZED DRUG, AND TOXICOLOGY TESTING. THE CONTINUED TREND OF HIGH ARREST RATES FOR DRUG AND ALCOHOL RELATED CRIMES HAS PERPETUATED THE DEMAND FOR DRUG AND ALCOHOL EVIDENCE TESTING. ALTHOUGH THE OVERALL NUMBER OF BACKLOGGED CASES HAS DECREASED OVER RECENT YEARS, THE CONTINUED HIGH ARREST RATES COUPLED WITH THE FORENSIC LABORATORIES IN TEXAS BEING SHORT-STAFFED HAS ONLY EXACERBATED THE PROBLEM OF FORENSIC PERSONNEL NEEDING TO WORK OVERTIME TO ADDRESS AN ALREADY OVERBURDENED STATEWIDE CRIME LABORATORY SYSTEM. THE TEXAS OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR'S PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICE (PSO) PROPOSES TO USE ITS 2024 COVERDELL FUNDS TO SUPPORT ACCREDITED CRIME LABORATORIES IN REDUCING THE BACKLOG IN PROCESSING NON-DNA FORENSIC EVIDENCE. GRANT FUNDS WILL ENHANCE THE ABILITY OF LABORATORIES OPERATED BY STATE AND LOCAL UNITS OF GOVERNMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO HARRIS COUNTY, THE CITY OF ARLINGTON AND THE CITY OF AUSTIN, TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF THE EVIDENCE THEY EXAMINE AS WELL AS IMPROVE THE TIMELINESS OF FORENSIC SCIENCE AND MEDICAL EXAMINER SERVICES. FUNDS MAY BE USED TO EMPLOY, TRAIN AND FUND OVERTIME FOR FORENSIC LABORATORY PERSONNEL AND MEDICOLEGAL DEATH INVESTIGATORS, PROVIDE CONTRACTUAL SERVICES FOR EXTERNAL PROCESSING OF FORENSIC EVIDENCE, AND TO ACQUIRE NEW OR REPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT THAT WILL IMPROVE OPERATIONS OF THE LABORATORY AND SUPPORT A REDUCTION IN THE BACKLOG OF FORENSIC EVIDENCE. PSO ANTICIPATES THE OUTCOME OF THIS FUNDING WILL RESULT IN AN IMPROVEMENT OF THE TIMELINESS OF NON-DNA EVIDENCE PROCESSING IN TEXAS. | $1,848,206 |
