Webinar - Sustainable Crime Gun Intelligence Strategies Require Policy-driven Tactics

Whether implementing a regional or agencywide preventive crime gun strategy, the establishment of formal policies is a critical factor that must be addressed. These policies can be wide-ranging in scope, affecting entire local, regional, or national populations, and they can be narrow in scope, affecting only a single organization. For example, at least three states now have laws mandating that all police agencies in the state utilize the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) when investigating firearm-related crimes.

Webinar - Body Worn Cameras for Police Departments

Body worn cameras (BWCs) have been in the news for the past couple of years. To better educate local governments on the trending issues surrounding this topic, Leonard Matarese will lead a discussion with the CNA Institute for Public Research, which directs and coordinates technical assistance regarding BWCs for the hundreds of police agencies that have received funding in recent years from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) under the BWC Policy and Implementation Program (PIP). 

Join the Justice Clearinghouse for the webinar “Evidence Based Best Practices for Public Safety Agencies” on Wednesday, November 1 from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET. During the webinar, participants will learn about evidence-based policy (EBP) development, an approach that places evidence and research at the center of decisionmaking related to policy, program, and project implementation.
