Child Protective Service Reports Accepted by State Fiscal Year, Response Time and Type
data.ct.gov | Last Updated 2023-09-12T18:18:37.000ZThis dataset contains aggregate data by State Fiscal Year of all child abuse/neglect reports accepted by DCF CareLine for either a traditional Child Protective Services (CPS) Investigation or, as of SFY2012, a Family Assessment Response (FAR). Figures are provided by mandated Response Time and Response Type, for each DCF Area Office beginning with SFY2011. Each report accepted is screened for safety and risk factors, and assigned an amount of time within which the agency is required to respond to the report. Mandated response times include “Same Day”, “24 Hours”, and “72 Hours”. Traditionally, DCF responded to all reports through a Child Protective Services (CPS) Investigation only. As of April 2012, DCF began its Family Assessment Response (FAR) to low-risk reports which does not include the decision to substantiate or not to substantiate the allegations of neglect in these reports. As a result, there have been fewer substantiated allegations since its implementation but, the agency continues to serve as many or more families reported for abuse/neglect.

Fires in Connecticut
data.ct.gov | Last Updated 2023-05-08T18:56:47.000ZOnly fires are included here. All other incidences, including EMS calls and False Alarms have been excluded. This dataset contains Connecticut Fire Department Incidents as reported to the National Fire Department Incident Reporting System (NFIRS). Note that the 2014 and 2016 data has far more entries than the other years. In particular, they detail "False Alarm and False Calls" and "Rescue and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Incidents" NFIRS collects details on Fire, HazMat and EMS incidences nationwide, detailing the type of incident, where it occurred, the resources used to mitigate it and more, with a goal of understanding the nature and causes of the incidents. Information is also collected on the number of civilian or firefighter casualties and an estimate of property loss. Participation in NFIRS is voluntary. Data is released yearly, with a considerable delay. Each Incidence is assigned a 3 digit Incidence Type Code. The code describes the situation emergency personnel found when they arrived. Incidence Types are grouped into larger categories, called Series. For example, Series 400, 'Hazardous Condition' category includes incidence types: 411, 'Gasoline or other flammable liquid spill; 412, 'Gas leak and 413, 'Oil or other combustible liquid spill '. Not every Incidence Type is included in the data. In 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, the NFIRS data releases contained these Series/Incidence Types: Series 100: Fire Incidences, Series 400: Hazardous Condition (No Fire), Incidence Type 561: Unauthorized burning, under the 'Service Call' Series, Incidence Type 631: Authorized Controlled Burning, under the 'Good Intent Call' series and Incidence Type 632: Prescribed fires also under the 'Good Intent Call' series. The 2014 and 2016 release included these additional series: 200: Overpressure Rupture, Explosion, Overheat (No Fire), 300: Rescue and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Incidents, 500: Service Calls, 600: Good Intent Call Series, 700: False Alarm and False Call, 800 Severe Weather and Natural Disaster 900: Special Incident Type. The official NFIRS documentation has been attached to this dataset. This dataset does not contain all the detail available in the NFIRS database.

Opportunity Zones Map
data.ct.gov | Last Updated 2023-07-14T17:32:59.000ZCensus tracts designated as Opportunity Zones. Qualified census tracts are those that have a poverty rate of at least 20 percent of a median income that does not exceed 80 percent of the area median income. The opportunity fund model encourages investors to pool their resources in opportunity zones, increasing the scale of investments going to underserved areas. The program provides a federal tax incentive for investors to re-invest unrealized capital gains into opportunity zones through opportunity funds. Under the terms of the program, the governor of each state must submit a plan to the federal government designating up to 25 percent of the qualified census tracts in their state as opportunity zones, which is then subject to approval of the Secretary of the Treasury.
