From the FieldN-DEx System's Batch Query Helps Georgia Nab Offenders and Manage WarrentsThe Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Data Exchange (N-DEx) System provides criminal justice agencies with an online tool for sharing, searching, linking, and analyzing information across jurisdictional boundaries, including large amounts of data. Recently, officers with the Georgia Department of Community Supervision (DCS) ran a large batch query of approximately 40,000 active Georgia warrants against the N-DEx System. Not only did the results provide new information regarding recent criminal activity and incarcerations, it also allowed DCS staff members to see how they could improve their system to better identify offenders with outstanding warrants. This batch query identified six absconders with recent arrests or incidents, providing leads concerning their locations, and three offenders who were incarcerated in other jurisdictions. Without these results, the subjects would most likely have continued to evade detection by Georgia authorities or incorrectly stayed on the warrant list when they should have been removed.
TrainingPractical Guidance on the Use of GPS Technology in Law Enforcement Investigations WebinarThe integration of GPS technology to law enforcement operations can be a valuable asset to law enforcement agencies to support their investigative activities. On Thursday, October 19, 2017, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. ET, the Police Foundation, through its National Resource and Technical Assistance Center for Improving Law Enforcement Investigations, is having a no-cost webinar—“Practical Guidance on the Use of GPS Technology in Law Enforcement Investigations.” Redlands, California, Police Department Commander Travis Martinez will share strategies for investigators on how to use GPS technology to enhance burglary and other theft investigations, while also addressing property crime and violent crime patterns and trends. Commander Martinez will discuss the practical considerations for implementing this program in a police department. Registration is restricted to law enforcement personnel with a valid government/department e-mail address because of law enforcement sensitive content. From the FieldAnalytical, Intelligence Research, and Publications Services Assist in Rescue of Two ChildrenAnalysis and research are often key tools in investigations, and the RISS centers across the country can assist law enforcement in enhancing its analytic capabilities. As an example, the Eureka County, Nevada, Sheriff’s Office was called to a burned truck in the wilderness. Shortly after the initial call-out, deputies retrieved the vehicle identification number and discovered that the vehicle had been involved in a parental kidnapping from Boise, Idaho, which was reported the same day that the truck was found. The Rocky Mountain Information Network (RMIN) Law Enforcement Information Coordinator for Nevada and Idaho assisted with coordination between the Boise Police Department and the Eureka County Sheriff’s Office. RMIN provided intelligence research and analytical and publications services to investigators in both states. Eureka County deputies searched the wilderness and found the suspect (flagged as armed and dangerous and a drug user) and his two little girls, who were rescued unharmed. ResourceConsiderations and Recommendations Regarding State and Local Officer-Involved Use-of-Force InvestigationsOfficer-involved use-of-force incidents continue to make headlines across the country. As agencies respond to and investigate officer-involved use-of-force incidents, better understanding of the investigative process is needed to inform the public on the process and assist agencies in establishing a uniform and transparent process. The resource Considerations and Recommendations Regarding State and Local Officer-Involved Use-of-Force Investigations sets forth recommendations and considerations for municipal, county, and state law enforcement officials tasked with ensuring accountability for critical use-of-force incidents that result in death or serious bodily injury to any party. It is intended to be used prior to a critical use-of-force incident to identify and implement recommendations, address issues, and better equip agencies to effectively respond to use-of-force investigations. ResourceUnderstanding Digital Footprints: Steps to Protect Personal InformationCybercrime is an ever-growing issue for state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement. With advancements in technology, coupled with the oversharing of personal information, law enforcement not only needs to ensure the public’s safety online but also be cognizant of the digital footprint that people are leaving behind. This document was developed to assist law enforcement personnel in protecting themselves and their families from becoming cyber targets. Topics addressed in this resource include protecting personal information, cyber do’s and don’ts, and cyber training and resources.
The mission of the CICC is to advocate for and support state, local, and tribal law enforcement and homeland security agencies and personnel in their efforts to develop and share criminal intelligence for the promotion of public safety and the security of our nation.
