During the July-December 2014 reporting period, Staff develops and delivers high-tech crime training, education, and outreach through its participation in national conferences and events. SEARCH staff participated in the 2014 NAJIS (National Association for Justice Information Systems) Conference, September 23-25, 2014, in Salt Lake City, Utah. Staff provided instruction and guidance under the topic of Social Networking Policy, in an effort to inform and educate agency leaders. While many law enforcement agencies and courts use social media sites for both solving and prosecuting crimes, many agencies lack social media policies. This lack of policy guidance can often cause problems and interfere with investigations. During this conference, SEARCH staff advised on how to create policies that address employee behavior while utilizing social networks and discussed the various agency liability issues regarding social networking.
