Safe Port in the Storm
"Approximately halfway between New York City and Miami lies Charleston, South Carolina, home to the Nations fourth busiest container seaport. In addition to handling agricultural products, consumer goods, machinery, metals, vehicles, chemicals, and clay products, the port deals with hazardous and toxic materials that, should they fall into the hands of terrorists, could pose a serious threat to the local population. The establishment of a safe and secure port for the city of Charleston was a concern of former U.S. Senator Ernest 'Fritz' Hollings of South Carolina as early as fall 2000, when he introduced into Congress the first version of his port security legislation. Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Federal and State officials began to realize fully that maritime shipping could be a valuable instrument for terrorism. In November of the following year, under the Maritime Transportation Security Act, the Intermodal Transportation and Port Security Pilot Project was created to promote port security through joint operations, unified command, interagency cooperation, and information/ intelligence sharing."

Keeping the Skies Friendly
"According to Tony Hedges, special agent in charge at the Denver (Colorado) Federal Air Marshal Service Office, the attacks of 9/11 brought both a new focus and a new strategy to fighting the longstanding terrorist threat to commercial air travel. 'September 11 definitely focused Federal law enforcements attention on airline security,' Hedges says. 'The obvious signs were a dramatic increase in the number of Federal Air Marshals and the establishment of the Transportation Security Administration.' Hedges says that the new air marshals undergo intensive training to enable them to recognize and eliminate threats to the safety and security of an aircraft and its passengers. They are required to meet the most strict marksmanship standards of any branch of Federal law enforcement. This marksmanship training is supplemented with training in situational awareness, close combat tactics, hand-to-hand fighting skills, and a variety of other skills, including stopping the use of improvised explosive devices"an area of expertise for the National Institute of Justices National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC)"Rocky Mountain in Denver."

Exercising CyberSecurity
"'Security at a major defense contractor has been breached. Information points to an insider with access to advanced technological information. Quickly, a team consisting of company staff, law enforcement and local government assembles to determine the best way to handle the situation.' Fortunately, the above situation happened only in a tabletop exercise: Intrusion Forensic Experiment 2 (IFX 2), held in September 2008 in Rome, N.Y., and designed by the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC)-Northeast. The exercise's 19 participants visited virtual offices and labs, collected evidence, listened to video statements and collaborated on a theory of responsibility. When the exercise ended, a post-analysis session helped participants understand the method and motive behind the attack and the actual computer forensic findings. In addition to developing closer working relationships with each other, participants took information on how to create their own tabletop exercises back to their agencies."

Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Advisory Council 2010 Annual Report
"LECTAC, the Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Advisory Council, is a critical part of the National Institute of Justice's (NIJ) Research, Development, Test and Evaluation process, providing practitioner-based input on what technologies are most important and what technology gaps currently exist. This 'real world' input helps shape the activities of NIJ's science and technology portfolios, as well as NIJ-funded research supporting the development and implementation of new technologies for criminal justice application. LECTAC is an entity composed of approximately 35 senior leaders from law enforcement, corrections, courts, forensic science and other criminal justice agencies and professional organizations. The members of LECTAC have identified subject-matter expertise in their respective disciplines and are tasked with providing an executive-level review of the issues presented to them. The information reviewed by LECTAC in ranking these priorities has been developed by the 17 NIJ-sponsored Technology Working Groups. These TWGs, also composed of law criminal justice practitioners, are 'working level' subject-matter experts who are currently assigned to roles in their agencies where they routinely work with technologies in their particular area of expertise."

License Plate Recognition (LPR) Systems: Function, Performance and Considerations for Law Enforcement Agencies
"License plate recognition systems (LPRs) use optical character recognition (OCR) algorithms to allow computer software to read vehicle license plates. (These systems are also known as 'automatic license plate recognition systems,' or ALPR.) LPR systems usually consist of a few basic components: 1. A camera designed to take images of license plates (numbers and letters). 2. A computer software package that interprets the numbers/letters from the video captured by the LPR camera. 3. A database of previously stored 'hot lists' or previously read license plates. LPRs come in a variety of formats, including fixed, mobile and portable. This document includes a chapter that goes into more detail on each type, its strengths and weaknesses, and other important considerations. It also discusses performance and capabilities, including uses, speed and accuracy. Vendors often refer to speed and accuracy when promoting their systems, and understanding some of these capabilities will help an agency more fully comprehend the differences between various systems."

Smartphones and Law Enforcement
"The Baltimore Police Department, with 4,000 civilian and sworn personnel, is the eighth largest municipal police force in the United States. In 2010, following a pilot study, the department began distributing Blackberry Curves equipped with the PocketCop application to about 2,080 sworn officers, who use them to access criminal justice databases, take photos at a crime scene, and increase efficiency and information sharing, according to Gayle Guilford, director of MIS [Management Information System] for the department. PocketCop provides secure access for queries to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), motor vehicle and warrant information and other databases. It has alarm capability and wireless messaging. If an officer makes a traffic stop and through database queries discovers the individual is a wanted criminal, an alert is issued to other officers and the communications center without the suspect knowing. The officer has the information at his fingertips rather than having to wait for communications dispatchers to provide it or having to go back to the patrol car to search using its computer equipment.

DHS Saver Program
"Emergency responder agencies seeking help in deciding what equipment to buy have an online resource that provides information on hundreds of products: the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) SAVER Program. The SAVER, or System Assessment and Validation for Emergency Responders Program, began in 2004 under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Responsibility for SAVER was transferred to the Science and Technology Directorate of DHS in January 2009, according to SAVER Program Manager John Pennella, who has been with the program since its inception. The program's basic premise has remained the same: to provide federal, state, local and tribal emergency responders with information they can use to make knowledgeable equipment purchase decisions. [...] Since its inception, the program has evaluated more than 400 products and published more than 800 equipment information documents. A few examples of the myriad types of equipment for which information is available include in-car camera systems, law enforcement protective helmets, small bomb disposal robots, thermal imaging cameras, hydraulic rescue tools and facial recognition technology. In 2010, the program had 29 projects."

Early Intervention System Secures Data, Boosts Efficiency
"In today's hacker-filled world, securing data is a concern for everyone -- including law enforcement agencies. Thanks to a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, the police department in Virginia Beach, Va., has implemented use of an Early Intervention System (EIS) that stores data securely, eliminates duplicative efforts, reduces paperwork and streamlines the review process."
