Webinar: Enhancing Crime Analytics: An Overview of the Nationwide Crime Analysis Capability Building Project
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) National Training and Technical Assistance Center (NTTAC), in partnership with the Institute for Intergovernmental Research (IIR), will be holding a webinar on Tuesday, May 2, 2017, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. (EDT). The no-cost webinar will highlight the exciting work of the BJA-funded Nationwide Crime Analysis Capability Building Project. The project identifies, assesses, and leverages best practices and lessons learned from existing Crime Analysis Centers (CAC) and develops standards and implementation strategies that can be replicated nationally to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Topics will include how technology available today has dramatically changed that way analysis is conducted by CACs, how Real Time Crime Centers are being developed to provide quick analysis and distribution of data, and new efforts to prevent
crimes from occurring through the use of data analysis. The BJA NTTAC-hosted webinar is open to all criminal justice professionals.

CPD to Roll Out New Crime Reporting Website
In an effort to be more accessible to city residents and to use newer technology, the Chicago, Illinois, Police Department (CPD) is introducing another digital platform for citizens to report criminal activity. The website—cpdtip.com— will run smoothly on mobile devices and will not require any app downloads or text messages to be sent. Site users can select the type of crime and describe when and where it happened, as well as how they know about it, and add a photo or description of the suspects. The user is also given the option to remain anonymous. The information submitted is sent directly to the fusion center in CPD headquarters and then sent to the appropriate division. Read More

Success Story |
BJA-Funded Forensic Video Analysis System Supports Evidence Collection in Charleston, SC
Following the tragic shooting of nine African-American churchgoers attending a Bible study at Mother Emanuel AME Church in June 2015, law enforcement in Charleston, South Carolina, acted quickly to identify Dylann Roof as the suspect. Using surveillance footage from the church, law enforcement pulled photos of Roof and distributed them throughout the media. Less than 16 hours after the attack, police had arrested the suspect nearly four hours away from Charleston. Police were able to quickly identify and apprehend this dangerous felon, in part, due to new technology that the Charleston Police Department had recently acquired with support from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). In March 2015, the department used funding from BJA's Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program to purchase a forensic video analysis system that expanded its
digital examination capabilities. No one could have predicted how the new system would impact the very first case in which it was used just three months later. Read More
