COVID-19 Resources
Law Enforcement Dashboard
In response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its impact on law enforcement and other first responders, the National Police Foundation (NPF), in collaboration with the National Alliance for Public Safety GIS (NAPSG) Foundation and Esri, has developed a COVID-19 situational awareness tool for law enforcement agencies. The tool, featuring a real-time dashboard, provides critical insights to assist executives, commanders, administrators, and other decision makers in assessing and monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on our nation’s first responders, including officer exposures, diagnoses, workforce impacts, and personal protective equipment (PPE) needs and projections.

Missing and Murdered Native Women
The epidemic of missing or murdered Native American women and girls has recently gained some national attention, but the problem has existed for decades. The issue is exacerbated by jurisdictional challenges, a lack of interest in incidents involving Native women and girls, limited data capture, and the number of tribes facing this issue. This no-cost webinar will examine the problem and what is being done to address it.
