JIRN Brown Bag: Yearwood Awards Highlight – Dashboards

This free Brown bag webinar will feature presentations from the Maine and New Jersey SACs on their Yearwood Award-winning Dashboards.

In FY21, the Maine Statistical Analysis Center (SAC) used SJS funds to produce Maine’s first report on prosecutorial data trends, covering a five-year period. Building on that foundation, the SAC used FY23 funds to transform the comprehensive dataset into an interactive dashboard using Power BI—marking the team’s first time working with the platform. Developed in close collaboration with the Maine Prosecutors’ Association, the dashboard was designed specifically to support the needs of district attorneys and their staff. In addition to streamlining data for prosecutors, it aims to make prosecutorial data more transparent and accessible to all Mainers. It includes an overview tab, followed by detailed views of case referrals, charges, and outcomes. A final “notes” tab offers key definitions and contextual details to ensure clarity in interpretation.

The New Jersey Traffic Fatalities Dashboard provides a summary of law enforcement reported information on traffic fatalities containing daily data + historic trends and patterns in fatal crashes. Includes information on contributing factors, crash details, locations, and demographic information on those involved.
