LEO Near Miss
Reporting System and Database
LEO Near Miss is a reporting system for law enforcement officers initiated by the Police Foundation in 2013 and funded by the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. A near miss, or close call, is any incident that could have resulted in a law enforcement officer’s serious injury or death. The LEO Near Miss Reporting System and Database is a platform that enables sworn law enforcement officers from across the country to share the details of incidents in which an officer was almost seriously injured or killed, providing valuable takeaways and lessons learned for improving officer safety. Stories shared through the system are now available in video format.
Sharing your story is an anonymous, secure, nonpunitive, and confidential process.
Enhancing School Safety and Preventing School Shootings
North Carolina
In 2018, North Carolina, like other states, found itself in the position of responding to school shootings with statewide actions. As a result, the Governor’s Crime Commission established the Special Committee on School Shootings (SCSS) to develop recommendations to strengthen school safety. The SCSS recently released a report that includes 33 recommendations to enhance school safety and prevent school shootings, 22 of which are categorized under five broad themes: training, physical security, threat intelligence and assessment, school and law enforcement partnerships, and possible statutory modifications or changes.
The committee’s work and the resulting report were funded using Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) dollars.
