The Institute participated in the public hearing on “Protecting, Managing and Preserving Digital Evidence in Criminal Cases”.

From the Institute's perspective, the regulation of digital evidence in criminal proceedings must explicitly incorporate a statistical and data governance approach that strengthens the quality, integrity, traceability and availability of the information that underpins judicial and public policy decision-making.

The Institute recognizes the relevance of the proposed issues and supports the development of a legal framework that, in addition to establishing substantive obligations, enables the generation of indicators, standardized administrative records and interoperable systems to monitor the performance of the criminal justice system in terms of digital evidence, while respecting the principles of confidentiality, protection of personal data and fundamental rights.

The Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics and the Fire Bureau have coordinated strategies to improve the Bureau's statistical reporting.

Dr. Orville M. Disdier Flores, Executive Director of the Institute, and Commissioner Josué Piñeiro Torres of the Fire Bureau led a meeting that resulted in a work plan to improve the processes for collecting, analyzing, and producing the statistics and reports generated by the Bureau.

Producing more comprehensive, reliable, and easily accessible statistics will promote better decision-making and service optimization.
