Early research indicates that the deployment of police body-worn cameras (BWCs) may generate numerous benefits for a law enforcement agency, from enhanced legitimacy and transparency to reductions in violence between citizens and police. However, more recent research has been mixed in terms of impact. One potential reason for the mixed findings involves poor implementation. BWC programs come with a high degree of difficulty, and the potential for implementation failure is significant.
The "Cybercop (CC) 201 - Digital Evidence Examination and Processing" course builds on the concepts introduced in "CC 101 - Basic Digital Forensic Imaging." It covers the architecture and functionality of the Windows NT File System, the FAT and the ExFAT File System, and related directory entry information for locating files on electronic devices. Topical areas include file headers and file hashing, recovery of deleted files and long file names, and techniques for discovering potential evidence that might otherwise be overlooked.

Law enforcement is often the first point of contact for those with substance use disorders. In the United States, approximately 1.5 million individuals arrested each year are at risk of substance dependence. Treatment courts strive to combine effective justice approaches with clinical services, and law enforcement officers are vital to achieving this goal.

Although crime control policy and program development processes are increasingly being informed by scientific evidence, identifying and adopting what works is only part of what’s needed to realize positive outcomes. Evidence-based programs and practices (EBPs) still have to be implemented with fidelity and integrity in order to be successful. Unfortunately, implementation is not an easy task. Implementation science, however, can help practitioners tackle implementation challenges so the promise of EBPs can be more fully realized.
In this webinar, representatives from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) and the Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center will review the fiscal year 2018 Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program grant application process.
