Countering Violent Extremism |
Building Bridges to Counter Violent Extremism
Communities are our best defense against efforts by violent extremists to recruit and radicalize. In an effort to improve collaboration and information sharing and synchronize countering violent extremism (CVE) efforts, the White House announced in January 2016 the creation of the Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) Task Force to coordinate efforts across the federal government. In the coming months, members of the task force will be reaching out to partners inside and outside government to coordinate CVE efforts.

Who Goes There? Mobile Fingerprint Readers in Los Angeles County
Law enforcement professionals who have access to solid information regarding the identity of the parties involved in an incident—whether they are victims, witnesses, suspects, or persons of interest—can save a lot of time in any investigation. Los Angeles County, California, has deployed mobile fingerprint scanners to various state, local, and federal law enforcement throughout the county to help overcome the problem of deceptive persons failing to identify themselves property to law enforcement personnel.

Law Enforcement Initiative |
Law Enforcement Agency Participation Opportunity: White House’s Police Data Initiative
The White House’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing developed a series of recommendations, many of which emphasized the opportunity for police departments to use data and technology to increase transparency and accountability. As a response, in May 2015 the White House launched the Police Data Initiative (PDI), a community of practice that includes leading law enforcement agencies, technologists, and researchers committed to improving the relationship between citizens and police at the local level through the use of data to increase transparency, build community trust, and strengthen accountability. Law enforcement agencies participating in the initiative will be releasing at least three policing data sets to the public. A portion of those agencies are also challenged with developing more effective accountability/early intervention systems using their internal
police department data. Participating agencies are also asked to participate in 30 minute bi-weekly community of practice calls, where departments share with one another any successes or challenges they are having, as well as innovations on how they are using data to engage with the community.
Agencies interested in joining the PDI are asked to e-mail PDI@policefoundation.org.

State, Local Fusion Center Staff May Get Seats in DHS’s National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center
To improve cyber threat information sharing among federal, state and local government, the Cyber Preparedness Act of 2016 proposes to physically station state and local government fusion center personnel at the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC). The arrangement echoes a plan to reorganize the DHS’s National Protections and Programs Directorate into a new entity called Cyber Infrastructure Protection.
