Background:
The Cochise County Sheriff's Office, by collaborating with Arizona State University's Center for Violence Prevention and Community Safety (CENTER), supports participation in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS). NVDRS compiles statewide comprehensive data on violent deaths by collecting information from death certificates, medical examiners, police reports, and other appropriate state, county, local, or tribal agencies. Objectives of these statewide collections is to provide comprehensive snapshots of violent incidents to further understand such events and informing communities, policy makers, planners, and decision makers on violent deaths so that preventive programs can be enacted. It enables increased scientific understanding of violent injury through research, translation of research findings into prevention strategies, and the dissemination of knowledge of violent injury and prevention to professionals and public.
