Crime is evolving rapidly, creating new challenges for law enforcement agencies. By using computers, communications platforms, and other technologies, criminals commit crimes that were unheard of a decade or two ago, while also finding different ways to commit traditional crimes. For law enforcement agencies to keep up in this new environment, they must change their approach to criminal investigations. Physical evidence and witness statements are no longer sufficient in many cases.
Sustaining effective, innovative, and evidence-based strategies is the cornerstone for Smart Prosecution practices. This webinar will highlight key elements for developing sustainment strategies, including: identifying principles for sustainability; creating meaningful partnerships; understanding the importance of engaging state administrative agencies; and identifying common challenges to program sustainment.
This Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) National Training and Technical Assistance Center (NTTAC) and Institute for Intergovernmental Research (IIR) webinar will highlight the exciting work of the BJA-funded Nationwide Crime Analysis Capability Building Project.
