Review of the Department of Justice's Planning and Implementation of Its Zero Tolerance Policy and Its Coordination with the Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services
From the Executive Summary Introduction: "On April 6, 2018, then Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ, Department) had adopted a 'zero tolerance policy' for immigration offenses involving illegal entry and attempted illegal entry into the United States. The policy required each U.S. Attorney's Office (USAO) on the Southwest border to prosecute all referrals for illegal entry violations, including misdemeanors, referred by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 'to the extent practicable, and in consultation with DHS.' [...] In July 2018, multiple members of Congress requested that the DOJ Office of the Inspector General (OIG) review the Department's role in the creation and implementation of the zero tolerance policy. The OIG conducted this review to assess the Department's planning for and implementation of the zero tolerance policy, including its internal coordination with the Southwest border USAOs, the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), and with DHS and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Consistent with the Inspector General Act of 1978, this review does not substitute the OIG's judgment for the judgments made by DOJ leadership regarding the substantive merits of the zero tolerance policy."

Report of the Attorney General's Cyber Digital Task Force: Cryptocurrency Enforcement Framework
From the Introduction: "At the outset, it bears emphasizing that distributed ledger technology, upon which all cryptocurrencies build, raises breathtaking possibilities for human flourishing. These possibilities are rightly being explored around the globe, from within academia and industry, and from within governments-- including our own. [...] But as the following pages make clear, despite its relatively brief existence, this technology already plays a role in many of the most significant criminal and national security threats our nation faces. As the Task Force has found, illicit uses of cryptocurrency typically fall into three categories: (1) financial transactions associated with the commission of crimes; (2) money laundering and the shielding of legitimate activity from tax, reporting, or other legal requirements; or (3) crimes, such as theft, directly implicating the cryptocurrency marketplace itself. Part I of this Enforcement Framework examines in detail each of those categories. Our society is not powerless in the face of these threats. As Part II demonstrates, the government has legal and regulatory tools available at its disposal to confront the threats posed by cryptocurrency's illicit uses. [...] This report concludes in Part III with a discussion of the ongoing challenges the government faces in cryptocurrency enforcement--particularly with respect to business models (employed by certain cryptocurrency exchanges, platforms, kiosks, and casinos), and to activity (like 'mixing' and 'tumbling,' 'chain hopping,' and certain instances of jurisdictional arbitrage) that may facilitate criminal activity."

Investigation of Alabama's State Prisons for Men
From the Introduction: "The Civil Rights Division and the three U.S. Attorney's Offices for the State of Alabama ('Department' or 'Department of Justice') provide notice, pursuant to the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1997 et seq. ('CRIPA'), that there is reasonable cause to believe, based on the totality of the conditions, practices, and incidents discovered that: (1) the conditions throughout Alabama's prisons for men ('Alabama's prisons') violate the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution; and (2) these violations are pursuant to a pattern or practice of resistance to the full enjoyment of rights protected by the Eighth Amendment. The Department does not serve as a tribunal authorized to make factual findings and legal conclusions binding on, or admissible in, any court, and nothing in this Notice should be construed as such. Consequently, this Notice Letter is not intended to be admissible evidence and does not create any legal rights or obligations. Consistent with the statutory requirements of CRIPA, we write this Notice Letter to notify Alabama of the Department's conclusions with respect to constitutional violations, the facts supporting those conclusions, and the minimum remedial measures necessary to address the identified deficiencies."

Pandemic Response Report: COVID-19 Challenges for the U.S. Department of Justice
From the Document: "Beginning in early March, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) promptly shifted a significant portion of its oversight toward assessing the DOJ's [Department of Justice] readiness to respond to the rapidly evolving COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic. Through its initial assessment, the OIG determined that the most immediate challenges to DOJ operations involved preventing the spread of the virus among its roughly 170,000 federal inmates and 61,000 detainees in BOP and U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) custody, respectively; operating its immigration courts in a manner that minimizes the risk to participants; and ensuring robust oversight of $850 million in pandemic-related CARES [Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security] Act grant funding being disbursed by DOJ to fund state, local, and tribal efforts to combat COVID-19 --all while also protecting the health and safety of the tens of thousands of employees who oversee these particular operations. In addition to the $850 million CARES Act grant funding, some DOJ components received supplemental funding, including the BOP ($100 million) and USMS ($15 million), to better position their COVID-19 efforts. [...] Overall, DOJ's CARES Act funding topped $1 billion."

Guidance from the Attorney General: Department Activities to Protect Certain Facilities or Assets from Unmanned Aircraft and Unmanned Aircraft Systems
From the Document: "Law enforcement and security agencies play a crucial role in ensuring the safe and secure integration of drone technology into the airspace. As recognized in the Department's 2019 'Policy on the Use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems', drone technology has transformative potential as a valuable law-enforcement and public-safety tool, including for use in crime scene investigations, search and rescue operations, and security assistance. As drones become more powerful and capable, however, they also become a more attractive tool for criminals, terrorists, and other bad actors to cause disruption and destruction. Unfortunately, the threat is not theoretical."

Addressing Four OSW Pillars in Smaller and Rural Communities: Officer Safety and Wellness Group Meeting Summary
From the Document: "In March 2020, the OSW [Officer Safety and Wellness] Group convened to discuss law enforcement safety and wellness challenges that are unique to small and rural agencies--an essential conversation given that approximately 80 percent of U.S. law enforcement agencies have fewer than 20 officers. This meeting focused on addressing safety and tactical care via training and proper equipment; promoting physical health through testing, regular wellness visits, and fitness resources; and supporting mental wellness with confidential counseling, peer support groups, and other innovative and unconventional resources. Overall, the goal was to identify best practices, discuss research, and share strategies to improve holistic wellness for officers. The meeting participants also clearly highlighted several ways in which leadership should promote wellness among their staff."

Review of the U.S. Department of Justice's Preparedness to Respond to Critical Incidents Under Emergency Support Function 13
From the Introduction: "Each year the United States encounters numerous critical incidents that require a national-level response, including natural disasters and other catastrophic events such as acts of terrorism. In 2017, for example, the United States experienced four major hurricanes and other seasonal threats, including floods, tornadoes, and wildfires that caused an estimated $306 billion in damage. The National Response Framework (NRF), part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) National Preparedness System, is a self-described 'guide to how the Nation responds to all types of disasters and emergencies.' Established in 2008, the NRF contains Emergency Support Functions (ESF) that coordinate and organize federal departments and agencies to manage resources and deliver core capabilities needed during a response to a critical incident."

Tribal Youth Police Academy: Fostering Development of Future Tribal Criminal Justice and Community Leaders
From the Executive Summary: "This publication describes the Tribal Youth Police Academy (TYPA) conducted in 2014 by the National Criminal Justice Training Center (NCJTC) under a cooperative agreement with the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office), U.S. Department of Justice. In general, youth police academies are found to be positive and powerful experiences for youth. However, few academies are specifically tailored to the needs and backgrounds of Native American youth. The goals of the TYPA were to increase the interest of Native American youth (ages 14-17) in law enforcement and criminal justice career pathways, serve as a recruitment tool for tribal law enforcement and public safety agencies, foster positive tribal youth development, and build leadership skills. Nationwide, Native American youth rarely develop an interest in entering law enforcement or other criminal justice careers; yet there is a great need and a high demand for such professionals. Programs such as TYPA are important to help tribal communities develop Native American law enforcement and criminal justice professionals to reflect and understand their communities and its needs."

Promoting Positive Coping Strategies in Law Enforcement: Emerging Issues and Recommendations
From the Document: "Since 2011, the OSW [Officer Safety and Wellness] Group has discussed these critical officer safety and wellness issues at regular meetings and produced a number of resources that encourage law enforcement agencies nationwide to adopt a culture that recognizes and elevates the value of officer safety and wellness. BJA [Bureau of Justice Assistance] and the COPS [Community Oriented Policing Services] Office continue to strive to provide agencies with all the tools necessary to respond effectively to the most persistent and prevalent safety and wellness challenges facing law enforcement officers today. Given the continued trend of suicide among law enforcement and the resulting need to facilitate the growth of resilient officers and organizations, the OSW Group convened in July 2019 to continue its discussion of officer mental health and safety. This document serves as an official summary of that meeting and seeks to provide readers with critical information, promising practices, and recommendations from law enforcement leaders and SMEs [subject matter experts] from across the nation. When first responders have the tools and support they need to take care of themselves and manage the stress and trauma of their jobs, the benefits have far-reaching positive effects on their personal and professional lives as well as the lives of those they serve and protect."

Preventing Minority Youth Violence: 'Lessons from Law Enforcement-Public Health Collaborations'
From the Introduction: "The MYVP [Minority Youth Violence Prevention] projects featured collaborations among public health organizations, law enforcement agencies, and community-based groups, with different partners managing the effort in each instance and police often taking on the role of instructors and mentors. [...] This guide is intended as a practical road map for police departments interested in establishing their own similar programs to work with minority youth or in contributing to efforts already underway in their communities. The recommendations are drawn from the experiences of the nine MYVP program sites. Throughout, you will also hear directly from the voices of police officers and others collaborating on this work. A major goal of the MYVP initiative was to encourage police departments to deepen their collaborations with community-based nonprofits and institutions such as hospitals, schools, and other social service agencies. The increased integration was in the name of promoting what is known as a 'public health approach' to violence prevention."

Improving the Identification, Investigation, and Reporting of Hate Crimes
From the Document: "In 2018, the Hate Crimes Enforcement and Prevention Initiative convened a law enforcement roundtable on challenges and successes in identifying, reporting, and tracking hate crimes. Although hate crimes and other bias-motivated incidents are generally investigated and prosecuted as state, local, or tribal matters, the Federal Government collaborates with state and local partners in the effort to eliminate these crimes from our communities. Through robust discussion and analysis, roundtable participants developed recommendations for enhancing hate crimes investigation and reporting that comprise a valuable roadmap for the journey ahead. [...] The body of the report is organized in four parts. Part 1 features law enforcement perspectives on creating agency cultures that prioritize hate crime and includes best practices for improving hate crimes enforcement. Part 2 discusses stakeholder and advocacy perspectives with an emphasis on how advocacy groups can collaborate and support law enforcement. Part 3 presents federal hate crimes statistics and highlights federal technical assistance and outreach resources. Part 4 documents the results of participant breakout group discussions. The report concludes with proposed action steps. Appendices include various resources, including a field-driven diagnostic checklist for law enforcement and updated information on federal resources, in addition to the roundtable agenda and participant list."

Joint Technical Alert: FASTCash 2.0: North Korea's BeagleBoyz Robbing Banks
From the Summary: "This joint Technical Alert (TA) is the result of analytic efforts among the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the Department of the Treasury (Treasury), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM). Working with U.S. government partners, CISA, Treasury, FBI, and USCYBERCOM identified malware and indicators of compromise (IOCs) used by the North Korean government in an automated teller machine (ATM) cash-out scheme--referred to by the U.S. Government as 'FASTCash 2.0: North Korea's BeagleBoyz Robbing Banks.' CISA, Treasury, FBI, and USCYBERCOM highlight the cyber threat posed by North Korea--formally known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)--and provide recommended steps to mitigate the threat."

Milwaukee Resilience Model
From the Introduction: "The Milwaukee (Wisconsin) Police Department (MPD), in partnership with Dr. Sandra Ramey of the University of Iowa College of Nursing, was awarded COPS [Office of Community Oriented Policing Services] Office microgrant funding for a project entitled 'Development and Validation of a Resilience Curriculum at the Academy.' The MPD and Dr. Ramey worked with the MPD Academy to complete deliverables including resilience training and program validation. The implementation of a resilience training intervention is highly dependent on the timing of the training. In a recent MPD academy class of 42 cadets ranging in ages from 21 to 53 years, greater job satisfaction of police officers three months after their graduation from the academy was statistically significantly associated with lower emotional stress (p < .001) and lower perceived stress (p = .01) (Ramey et al. 2017). For a different cohort of 38 working Milwaukee police officers, ages 22 to 54 years, with greater longevity on the job, the associations were not statistically significant for emotional and perceived stress before nor after the resilience training (Ramey et al. 2016). It appears from these early results that the timing of this intervention matters and implementation with recruits at the academy is likely the most effective time to deliver this training. Therefore, the current study focused on implementation of a resilience training program at the academy level."

Line of Duty Deaths Due to COVID-19
From the Document: "An analysis of line of duty deaths (LODDs) based on data compiled by the Officer Down Memorial Page (ODMP) found that COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] killed 76 law enforcement officers in the line of duty from March through July 2020. This represented 50% or more of all LODDs in 15 states, territories, and the District of Columbia. A majority of these officers were 50 years of age or older, in line with general population trends. As of August 8, 2020, ODMP recorded 157 total LODDs in 2020, a 65% increase as compared to the previous year - COVID-19 being the single highest cause of 2020 LODDs. ODMP's numbers are based on public submissions to their page, which are evaluated against their criteria for inclusion using information compiled from user submissions, media accounts, and correspondence with the officer's agency. These statistics include any law enforcement officer who dies as a result of COVID-19 that is a direct result of the officer's law enforcement duties."

Ten Essential Actions to Improve School Safety: School Safety Working Group Report to the Attorney General
From the Introduction: "Although statistically they are rare, school shootings and mass casualty attacks have an enormous impact on our communities. This impact often leads to immense pressure on school administrators and law enforcement officials to 'do something' quickly to protect our children in school. Hasty and reactive decision-making often results in implementation of new policies and adoption of new equipment and technology based on scant--if any--evidence of their effectiveness. Understanding this challenge, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) asked its School Safety Working Group to identify from a law enforcement perspective the 10 most essential actions schools, school districts, and law enforcement agencies can take to prevent mass casualty attacks in our nation's schools and, when prevention is not enough, to respond rapidly and effectively to end the threat as quickly as possible to save lives. While the cost associated with some of these strategies may be significant, for others it is relatively modest. It should be noted that critical actions described in this document are applicable not only to school shootings but also to all areas of school safety, including weather disasters and traumatic events such as student suicide."
