New technology is developed every dayand such a rapid pace can make it difficult for
professionals in any field to keep up. Many of these new or improved technologies have
applications or implications for law enforcement officers in their day-to-day work. This issue
explores some of those emerging technologies and provides valuable information for leaders
regarding what tools exist, what challenges accompany new technologies, and how some
members of law enforcement are using recently developed or updated technologies.

The Year in Review

W
hen I was sworn in a year ago, I could not

have imagined the incredible journey
I would embark upon as the president of the
International Association of Chiefs of Police. I
feel truly fortunate to have had the opportunity
to represent global law enforcement and to have
been able to meet so many remarkable and
thoughtful law enforcement leaders over the
course of the year.
Almost immediately following the 2015
IACP Conference and Exposition, I set out on
a mission to learn about the global challenges
being faced by law enforcementterrorism,
community-police relations, border security,
cybercrime, human trafficking, and narcotics
addictionand how agencies are dealing with
these challenges, what is working, and what we
can all respectively and collectively do to thwart
crime and safeguard our citizens.
My travels brought me to Rwanda, Mexico,
Thailand, France, the Netherlands, Canada,
and to every corner of the United States. I was
fortunate to attend many world regional meetings of law enforcement officials, including
personnel from INTERPOL, AMERIPOL, and
EUROPOL. I am proud to say that the IACP has
expanded its global reach and now serves more
than 27,000 members in 133 countries. This is
a record high, and I hope that we will continue
this trend.
As many of you have heard me say, I believe
that law enforcement is currently facing, arguably,
the most challenging time in policing history.
Over the course of this year, we have witnessed
horrific acts of terrorism and violent extremism
that have taken the lives of too many innocent
people, such as those in Paris, France; San Bernardino, California; Brussels, Belgium; Istanbul,
Turkey; Orlando, Florida; Nice, France; and countless more. All of these tragedies, have shocked
the world and left many questions and concerns
in their wake. These attacks have also steeled our
resolve and reinforced the need for all of us to
work together to prevent further tragedies.
In addition to terrorism, we find ourselves
in a period where our actions are constantly
being called into question. At times, it almost
feels as if we are under a microscope and that
the gulf between law enforcement and many
of our communities, particularly those that feel
disenfranchised, has never felt so vast. Each
incident that calls into question law enforcements actions in a particular community is like
a flash point that explodes around the globe.
An incident that occurs in one jurisdiction now
6
causes protests in a town thousands of miles

away, igniting a dialogue that transcends one
incident or one location. We find ourselves, as
chiefs, commissioners, colonels, commanders,
and patrol officers, having to defend our policies
and practices, as well as the actions of our fellow
officers.
Like any profession, while there are a few
bad officers, the overwhelming majority of
the men and women in law enforcement are
honorable and noble. The reason we chose
this profession is our passion and drive to help
others, to safeguard citizens, and to protect the
people who need it the most. Its a calling we
cannot resist, and we put our lives on the line
every day to make this world a safer place and to
safeguard peoples rights and freedom.
While all of us who wear the uniform know
this to be the case, there are many in the public
who either do not know, do not believe, or paint
our intentions with a broad brush.
Conversely, while many of us in law enforcement have felt misrepresented and negatively
characterized, there are some in our communities who harbor these feelings and a general
distrust of law enforcement. Those feelings are
exacerbated by incidents that grab headlines
Terrence M. Cunningham,
Chief of Police,
Wellesley, Massachusetts,
Police Department
and may reinforce a deep-seated history that

predates many of us who now patrol the streets.
Because of this, the topic of communitypolice relations has dominated the conversation
for the past two years. In July, law enforcement
experienced a particularly tragic month with the
death of five Dallas, Texas, police officersthe
deadliest attack on law enforcement in the
United States since 9/11. Then, just 10 days after
the Dallas shooting, we experienced more tragedy with an attack on law enforcement officers
in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
I was able to attend the memorial services
to honor the brave officers who lost their lives
in both Dallas and Baton Rouge. No words are
strong enough to express how I feel about the
tragic and senseless deaths of the officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge and the other law enforcement officers who were wounded or killed in
shootings around the United States.
Leading up to and following those tragedies,
I participated in meetings with U.S. President Obama and Vice President Biden to talk
about the challenges confronting policing and
communities. The purpose of these meetings
was to look at the present divides and, more
importantly, find ways to bridge those gaps and
work toward collaborative solutions among
law enforcement, government officials, support
organizations, and other community members.
The hope was to directly educate policy makers
about our role and the challenges we face daily
and drive meaningful conversations that would
produce collective changes and solutions.
I have also had countless media interviews
with national U.S. affiliates such as Face the
Nation, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, the Washington
Post, New York Times, NPR, and Los Angeles Times.
During each of these media interviews, I worked
hard to engage in a meaningful dialogue, inform
the general public about issues confronting law
enforcement, and weigh in on high-profile situations so the voice of law enforcement was part
of the global discussion.
As part of our continuing effort to address
community-police relations, I am proud to
say that the IACP stood up the Institute for
Community-Police Relations (ICPR) in May
2016 to help provide law enforcement with
the tools and resources they need to build and
sustain a culture in policing that values transparency, accountability, and community engagement and increases community trust. The work
of the ICPR will be guided by an advisory panel

leaders, civil rights advocates, and academics.

Recognizing the universal nature of the issues
being addressed by the ICPR, the advisory panel
will also include representatives from multiple
nations and regions of the world.
The topics of de-escalation and use of force
coincide with community-police relations. For
this reason, the IACP formed a partnership
with the Fraternal Order of Police to convene
a law enforcement leadership summit with 16
law enforcement organizations to examine use
of force by law enforcement officers, discuss
differences surrounding proposals that seek to
change use-of-force standards, identify areas of
consensus, and collectively map out a path forward on use-of-force issues. The IACP plans to
reconvene members of this summit at the 2016
IACP Annual Conference and Exposition in San
Diego, California, to resume these discussions
and to work toward the development of a wellthought-out, comprehensive, consensus model
policy on use of force.
Evidence-based research is an important factor in implementing effective, long-lasting police
practices and strategies. In May 2016, the IACP
partnered with the University of Cincinnati
(UC) to develop the IACP/UC Center for Police
Research and Policy. The IACP/UC Center for
Police Research and Policy will provide a path
for law enforcement and researchers to work
together on evidence-based research that will
address critical policing issues and drive future
practices and policies.
Our legislative efforts on behalf of the law
enforcement profession and police executives
are a centerpiece of IACPs activities. Throughout the year, the IACP worked with the U.S.
administration, as well as with members of
Congress, on a wide range of issues critical to
public safety and the law enforcement profession. When it was announced in December
2015 that there would be major changes to the
Department of Justices (DOJs) Asset Forfeiture Program and that all payments from the
equitable sharing program would cease, the
IACP worked immediately to relay the negative
impact this would have on law enforcement and
our ability to safeguard the public. Following
several conversations with Congress, the DOJ,
and the administration, we were pleased when
payments from DOJs equitable sharing program
were renewed. In addition to advocating to
preserve the asset forfeiture program, we also
worked to educate members of Congress on
the issue of encryption and the current barriers
to accessing electronic communications faced
by law enforcement. Those efforts included
partnering with the National District Attorneys
Association to host a series of congressional
briefings on the issue and the effects on public
safety capabilities.
These narratives only scratch the surface of
the issues we have weighed in on during the
course of the year. We also constantly provided
feedback on legislation as it was being drafted to
ensure it took law enforcement considerations
into account. With the U.S. presidential election

quickly approaching, the IACP wants to ensure
that law enforcement is informed of U.S. candidates policy positions specific to criminal justice
and how they plan to work with law enforcement to safeguard the citizens of the United
States. That is why the IACP sought answers to
10 questions on criminal justice policy issues
from the Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump
campaigns and distributed those answers to
our members so they could familiarize themselves with the candidates policy positions and
philosophies.
As always, we worked hard throughout the
year to provide our members with the tools and
resources they need to make their jobs easier.
We developed critical issues dashboards that
contain key messaging worksheets pertaining
to topics that law enforcement leaders face each
day. These messaging worksheets are designed
to break down critical topics and provide key
talking points and facts to assist you in your
daily communications. We have also centralized
our resources relating to these topics to provide
you with a clearinghouse of the most up-to-date
resources available, including model policies, guides, reports, and more. The IACP will
continue to expand the critical issues dashboard
offerings in the years to come.
The IACP also launched a daily news clip
service, The Lead, that captures relevant global
news on topics of interest to law enforcement.
The daily clips are delivered to your inbox each
morning to help you keep up to date on the

news in an easy, digestible manner.
The IACP held Critical Issues Forums in
eight locations in the United States during the
months of August and September. These Critical
Issues Forums allowed IACP leadership to hear
directly from police leaders about the challenges
confronting their respective agencies and the
collective profession and how IACP can assist
on both fronts. The topics and policy issues
emerging from these sessions will help focus
IACPs efforts over the next several years.
Clearly, this has been a remarkably busy and
productive year for the IACP. It has been my
honor and privilege to have had the opportunity
to lead this amazing organization for the past
year, and it has been the highlight of my career
thus far. I would like to offer IACP 1st Vice
President Don De Lucca my congratulations
and complete support as he assumes the IACP
presidency. I know he will do a terrific job leading our organization and continuing to advocate
on behalf of the profession.
Finally, I would like to express my deepest
appreciation to my family, professional colleagues, friends, the staff at IACP headquarters,
and the men and women of the Wellesley Police
Department. All of you have played a vital role
in allowing me to take on this tremendous
challenge and experience it to the fullest. I look
forward to continuing to being actively involved
in the IACP and serving in any way that I can. v

OFFICER SAFETY CORNER
A Practical Approach to Prevent Officer Suicide

By Debora Black, Police Chief,
Prescott, Arizona, Police Department,
and Michael Cofield, PhD, PSG
Consulting, Inc.
he incidence of police officer suicide and the

related topics of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the emotional health of officers
has demanded the attention of law enforcement
leaders for decades. Yet, year after year, more
officers take their own lives than are killed in the
line of duty.1 The need to address the conditions
within the law enforcement profession and culture that contribute to these tragedies has never
been greater.
By the time a police officer is seriously
contemplating suicide, a chain of events has
taken place that puts leaders well behind the
curve. At this point, direct, compassionate,
non-stigmatizing administrative intervention
may be the only available option. Linking atrisk officers with skilled professional services,
implementing a safety plan, and establishing
clear guidelines regarding any possible return
to work to reinforce hope are important steps to
protect the officer, his or her coworkers, and the
organization.
Research into police suicide provides valuable insight. For example, men are far more
likely to commit suicide than women. These
officers have often served in policing for more
than a decade and are likely to be in their early
to mid-40s. They may also show a higher rate
of personal or relationship problems prior to
attempting suicide, and risky or excessive use of
alcohol is common in these individuals.2
The recognition of which officers may be
vulnerable to suicide is helpful. In order to truly
prevent officer self-harm, however, a much earlier focus on the chain of causation is required.
Law enforcement hiring processes focus
on identifying individuals with the character,
physical ability, intellect, heart, and drive to be
good police officers. Psychological evaluations
are a critical method of revealing an applicants
strengths and weaknesses, biases, and motivation as they pertain to the individuals suitability
for law enforcement. It is also important to
screen for any mental health history that relates
to the potential for suicide. As an example, the
kindling effect is a mental health term referring
to the fact that adults who have an episode of

major depression are 50 percent more likely to
experience a second episode. If they experience
a second episode, theyre nearly 80 percent
more likely to experience a third.3
Since depression is the most common
mental health disorder associated with suicide,
it is critically important that the psychologist
responsible for conducting pre-employment
psychological screenings for an agency understand the relevance of the kindling effect when
they make suitability recommendations. A history of stormy interpersonal relationships and
risky alcohol use are also risk factors that should
be considered when making a hiring decision.
While hiring individuals psychologically
suited to begin a career in law enforcement
creates a good foundation, officer socialization
and organizational culture play a significant role
in their ability to successfully navigate police
work and life challenges. Resiliencydefined
as the capacity to adjust to change, disruption,
or difficulty and resolve negative or traumatic
experiences in a positive wayshould be
taught and reinforced throughout the course of
an officers career. Resiliency training bolsters
officers resources and can help prevent many
from developing PTSD, chemical dependency,
or other conditions that amplify the risk for
suicide. The earlier the training is offered in
an officers career, the better. Resiliency skills
should also be regularly reinforced and modeled
by supervisors.
Traditional employee assistance programs
and peer support can be effective options for
officers, particularly following a critical incident.
These resources are limited, however, when
addressing lingering or cumulative stress,
primarily due to the negative stigma sometimes
related to an officer seeking help. A proven,
effective approach that eliminates this negative
perception is using self-guided, low-intensity
online tools. Presented in an easily accessible
format, these tools offer scientifically sound,
confidential, self-directed help to individuals
and can be accessed 24/7 by anyone within the
organization, including family members.
Equipping first-line supervisors to recognize
changes in an officers behavior is essential to
suicide prevention, and a number of behaviors
exist that should raise a supervisors index of
concern.4 For example, any officers comments
regarding death or suicide should be taken
Effectively addressing
the issue of officer suicide
requires a multifaceted,
comprehensive approach
that begins prior to an officer
being hired.
seriously and followed up. A sudden improvement in mood after a period of despair should
also be noted. In some cases, this can reflect an
officers sense of inner resolution and calm after
he or she has made the decision to take his or
her own life.
An additional factor bears special consideration. The cynicism and hypervigilance that
afflicts many veteran police officers can also
be accompanied by social isolation. Social
isolation increases the odds ratio of premature
death from all causes, including suicide.5 For
example, the odds ratio of a police officer dying
prematurely as a result of chemical dependency
increases by approximately 30 percent. The odds
ratio experienced as a result of social isolation,
however, approaches 50 percent, and it can
prevent an officer from reaching out for help at
exactly the time he or she needs it the most.
Effectively addressing the issue of officer
suicide requires a multifaceted, comprehensive
approach that begins prior to an officer being
hired. Officer wellness can be achieved through a
culture that promotes a positive, strength-based,
resiliency-focused atmosphere. This approach will
remove the stigma from seeking mental health
assistance and contribute to the mental preparedness necessary to not only survive, but thrive in a
law enforcement environment. v

Effective Use of Naloxone in Response to Fentanyl-Laced

Heroin Overdoses
By Bryan B. Kitch, MD, and Roberto C. Portela, MD,
Department of Emergency Medicine, East Carolina
University, North Carolina
pioid abuse is on the rise in the United States, with an estimated 2.1
million people with a substance abuse disorder related to pain medications and another 467,000 addicted to heroin.1 Although the U.S. death
rate from heroin overdoses has doubled from 2010 to 2012, twice as many
people die from prescription drug abuse as they do from heroin.2 More
than 40,000 individuals die annually from poisoning, making it the number
one cause of injury-related death in the United States. Drugs are involved
in 90 percent of the poisonings, and 40 percent of the drugs involved are
opioids.3 This increase in opioid poisonings could be related to the increase
in prescription patternsthe prescribing of opioids has increased 270 percent in the last two decades, including more than 207 million prescriptions
in 2013.4 Methadone is implicated in 31 percent of the deaths caused by
opioid pain relievers. In addition, episodes wherein fentanyl or similar highpotency opioids replace or contaminate abused drugs can lead to clusters of
severe overdoses in areas where the drug was distributed.
All U.S. jurisdictions allow emergency medical personnel (EMS) to
carry and administer naloxone.5 Less than half of the United States presently allows for third-party prescribing of naloxone or similar methods
to distribute the medication to lay individuals.6 Reported surveys and
discussion with LEOs suggest a growing acceptance and willingness to
participate in opioid overdose response by officers.7 Programs enabling
LEOs to carry naloxone are relatively new, but they represent a growing
trend in pre-hospital treatment and would benefit from EMS or physician
oversight.
Examples of events in the authors community wherein LEOs
encountered multiple victims of opioid overdoses in a 48-hour period are
described in the following cases.
Case 1
Police arrived and found an unresponsive 72-year-old male on the

floor, not breathing. The patient had a known history of heroin abuse and
exhibited signs of a possible overdose, so a LEO administered 2 mg of naloxone intranasally. When EMS arrived, the patient had a strong pulse but
was gasping at times. EMS personnel administered two additional doses
of naloxone, leading to some improvement of the patients respiratory
efforts, but upon arrival to the emergency department (ED), the patient
was still unresponsive. His urine drug screen was positive for opioids. The
patient was intubated and admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), but
was successfully extubated several hours later. The patient was discharged
on day three and did not have any return visits in the three days following
discharge.
Case 2
EMS and police were dispatched to an unresponsive 23-year-old male.

EMS staged while LEOs made entry to secure the scene. LEOs found one
unresponsive individual, not breathing normally, and displaying pinpoint
pupils. LEO administered 2 mg of naloxone intranasally. The patient
remained unresponsive, so a second dose was given by the LEOs. Upon
EMS arrival, they noted the patient was breathing 34 times per minute.
The patient fully awoke shortly after this observation and had normal respirations. The patient reported intravenous heroin use prior to the polices
arrival. He was observed for four hours in the ED and later discharged. He
had no return visits in the three days following the incident.
Case 3
While on routine patrol, police encountered an unresponsive 21-yearold man in a parking lot receiving rescue breaths by a friend. The patients
pinpoint pupils and agonal breathing were noted and 2 mg of naloxone was
administered intranasally by LEOs. The patient was waking up and responsive at the time of EMS arrival. At the ED, the patient reported using heroin
for the first time prior to the incident. His urine drug screen was positive for
opioids. He was observed in the ED for four hours and later discharged. He
had no return visits in the three days following the incident.
Case 4
A LEO was dispatched alongside EMS to a possible overdose. The

LEO arrived prior to EMS to secure the scene and found an unresponsive
43-year-old male believed to be experiencing an opioid overdose. LEO
proceeded to administer 2 mg of naloxone intranasally. EMS arrived
shortly after to find the patient alert and oriented. At the ED, the patient
remained completely alert and oriented. He reported crushing and snorting a tablet of oxymorphone (Opana ER). The patient reported a history of
intravenous drug abuse with a similar visit to the ED three days prior. His
urine drug screen was positive for opioids. The patient was observed for
five hours without complications and was discharged after observation; he
had no return visits within the three days following the incident.
Discussion and Conclusion
The authors believe that the experiences of their local LEOs in reversing multiple overdoses with naloxone in short succession and without
adverse effects demonstrates the benefit of training and distribution of this
medication to LEOs. All patients had some degree of clinical improvement
prior to EMS arrival and prior to physician contact.
Laboratory testing of confiscated heroin from the scenes confirmed the
presence of fentanyl, which likely contributed to the frequency and acuity
of overdose numbers, which were higher than the jurisdictions baseline. In the 10 days following the cases detailed here, LEOs administered
another dose of intranasal naloxone in response to a heroin overdose.

United States v. Texas: Immigration Enforcement

Local or Federal Issue?
By Craig E. Ferrell, Jr., Assistant
Professor of Law and Criminal Justice,
Houston Baptist University, Deputy
Director/General Counsel, Houston,
Texas, Police Department (Ret.)
he U.S. Supreme Courts decision in the

United States v. Texas, which was issued on
June 24, 2016, raised major questions about the
U.S. presidents power to exercise discretion
when enforcing immigration law.1 The courts
one-sentence affirmance of the Fifth Circuits
decision does allow Texas and 25 other states
to continue their suit challenging the Deferred
Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful
Permanent Residents (DAPA), a program that
would grant millions of unauthorized immigrants a temporary reprieve from removal.2
The courts decision also leaves in place the
preliminary injunction against the presidents
initiatives, thus halting implementation of the
DAPA plan. However, the decision doesnt
answer the lingering questions concerning the
debate around immigration enforcement and
whether that should be a federal, state, or multifaceted responsibility.
Argument: Local EnforcementLocal

Police Should Enforce Immigration Laws
The federal government has struggled to

secure the U.S. borders, deter illegal immigration, or track down those who overstay temporary visa limits. With an estimated 1120 million
undocumented immigrants in the United States
and only a few thousand federal immigration
officers assigned to police the interior, the
federal government is not equipped to tackle
illegal immigration on its own.3 Recognizing
these limitations, some see it as only logical that
hundreds of thousands of local law enforcement
officers be recruited to address this problem.
Some local law enforcement executives may
support this position because persons who are
in the United States illegally have violated the
law and should be treated in the same fashion as
other lawbreakers.
The primary mission of state and local law

enforcement is to enforce criminal laws, which is what
the local communities expect of the officers.
Argument: Federal Enforcement
Local Police Shouldnt Enforce
Immigration Laws
There are a number of compelling reasons

why state and local police agencies should not
be the frontline enforcers of federal immigration laws. These reasons take into account the
primary responsibility of local law enforcement,
which is to fight crime at the local level. They
also reflect the reality that immigrants, both
legal and undocumented, have become a part of
U.S. communities. The primary mission of state
and local law enforcement is to enforce criminal
laws, which is what the local communities
expect of the officers. Many taxpayers in their
respective communities expect the local police
department to use the communitys resources
to address burglaries, robberies, assaults, rapes,
murders, and traffic violations occurring in the
communities, rather than spend those resources
addressing illegal immigration.
The Often-Overlooked Issue of

Civil Liability
The U.S. federal government and others

have, from time to time, called upon local police
agencies to become involved in the enforcement
of federal immigration laws as part of the effort
to protect the United States. For the most part,
local police agencies have worked and continue
to work with federal agencies. When possible
and to the extent allowable under state criminal
law enforcement authority, police agencies work
to address crimes such as human trafficking and
gang violence that can have a nexus with illegal
immigration. How local agencies respond to the
call to enforce immigration laws could fundamentally change the way they police and serve
their communities.
In the past, local law enforcement agencies

have faced civil litigation and liability for their
involvement in immigration enforcement. For
example the Katy, Texas, Police Department
participated in an immigration raid with federal
agents in 1994. A total of 80 individuals were
detained by the police, some were later determined to be either citizens or legal immigrants
with permission to be in the United States. The
Katy Police Department faced civil suits from
these individuals and eventually settled their
claims out of court.4 The civil liability laws have
not significantly changed since that event,
which suggests that these laws may warrant
closer examination (or revision) if local police
are called upon to be more active participants in
immigration enforcement.
Because local agencies currently lack clear
authority to enforce immigration laws, it is
likely that local police agencies will face the risk
of civil liability and litigation if they chose to
enforce federal immigration laws and, therefore,
should always consult with local legal advisors
prior to taking action. Local enforcement of
federal immigration laws raises many daunting
and complex legal, logistical, and resource issues
for local agencies and the diverse communities
they serve.
Conclusion
Local agencies have a clear need to help

protect U.S. residents while continuing to foster
trust and cooperation with everyone in their
communities. Assistance and cooperation from
immigrant communities is especially important
when an immigrant, whether documented or
undocumented, is the victim of or a witness to
a crime. These persons must be encouraged to
file reports and come forward with information.

Their cooperation is needed to prevent and

and security in the community.
It is to be expected that the U.S. government
will eventually resolve the conflicting matters highlighted most recently by the divided
Supreme Court decision in United States v. Texas,
but, until that occurs, local law enforcement
should remain united in their commitment to
continue arresting anyone who violates the
criminal laws of their jurisdictions, regardless
of the immigration status of the individual. That
is the path forward that will ensure that local
agencies, who have worked very hard to build
trust and a spirit of cooperation with immigrant
groups through community-based policing and
outreach programs, can maintain that success
while simultaneously helping to keep communities safe. v

IACP WORKING FOR YOU

In the mission to support the law enforcement leaders of today and develop the leaders
of tomorrow, the IACP is constantly involved in advocacy, programs, research, and
initiatives related to cutting-edge issues. This column keeps you up to date on IACPs
work to support our members and the field of law enforcement.
Officer-Involved Shooting Guide
Though few officers will be directly involved in a hostile shooting situation during their
careers, many more might experience the impact of one; the effects of such events touch
not only the officer involved, but the department and the community as well. Because of the
gravity of officer-involved shootings, it is vitally important to ensure that the agency and its
officers are prepared in advance for such an event. IACP, with funding from the COPS Office,
has developed Officer-Involved Shootings: A Guide for Law Enforcement Leaders to provide guidance for preparing officers and departments prior to an officer-involved shooting, suggested
incident scene actions and procedures, recommended procedures for conducting criminal
and administrative investigations, suggestions for working with the media, and mental
health and wellness considerations and procedures.

Decision Factors for Adopting a Technology

T
echnology is a key component of any law

enforcement operationnew, innovative
technologies can support more efficient crime
prevention and response; better protect police
officers and the public; and potentially improve
relationships between law enforcement and the
community through better, more transparent
exchanges of information.
However, the adoption of new technologies
by an agency involves monetary costnot only
the direct costs of acquisition, maintenance,
and operation of the technology and related
infrastructure, but also the training and personnel costs.
Adoption of a new technology by an agency
may involve other, non-monetary costs, as well.
While technology may improve relationships
between law enforcement and the community, it also has the potential to worsen those
relationships. For example, unmanned aircraft
systems (or drones) may, when compared to
conventional aircraft, offer clear benefits to law
enforcement from a cost perspective, but their
potential impact on privacy also raises concern
in many communities. Body-worn cameras
(BWCs) are also a double-edged technology:
BWCs offer clear benefits from the perspective
of community-police relations, but they raise privacy concerns among both victims and officers.
The first step in deciding whether to adopt a
technology is defining the benefit to be achieved
and determining whether the technology in
question is really the solution. Technology is
not always the answer, and, in some instances,
it may work counter to the intended purpose.
For example, an agency may attempt to reduce
police vehicleinvolved traffic crashes by
increasing the visibility of its vehicles through
more intense lightbars, but that may not solve
the problem if the root cause is poor traffic
safety policy and training. In fact, some research
suggests that LED emergency lights may distract
other motorists. As another example, using social
media to improve community outreach may
have little impact, depending on how the communities the law enforcement agency is trying
to reach consume their information. The use of
social media varies by demographics, as does the
type of social media used by subpopulations.
Once the agency has defined the benefit and
decided that a new technology is the solution, the

Office of Science and Technology,
National Institute of Justice
second step is to define the circumstances within

which the technology is intended to be used and
the operational capabilities needed to achieve the
desired benefit. This step has policy implications
beyond the technical specifications of the technology. For example, defining the circumstances
under which a BWC is and is not to be used
perhaps because of privacy considerationsis a
matter that will need to be rendered into agency
policy and training. If officers are to wear BWCs
for an entire duty shift, do the batteries for the

cameras have sufficient power? From a policy
perspective, should the cameras be on in all situations? What are the privacy concerns? Do those
privacy concerns translate into consideration of
operational capabilities? For example, should the
officer have the ability to turn off a BWC?
The location where the technology is to
be used may also be important. For example,
closed-circuit television systems work best in
To the greatest extent possible, agencies should

engage with the communities that they serve when
considering the adoption of a new technology, both
to inform the community members and to gain their
input, particularly in regard to technologies that can
be perceived as having an impact on privacy.
IJ funded the development of the Technology

Decision Tool to help agencies make decisions
regarding the acquisition of new technologies. The tool
was developed with input from technology experts
from both large and small agencies who have firsthand
experience in successfully evaluating and implementing technology projects. It guides agencies through
a customized cost-benefit analysis exercise to help
them make the best decisions for their officers and
their communities. It directs decision-making based on
needs, availability of technology, and lifecycle costs of
products and training. Safety considerations and budget realities are taken into account and viable solutions
are offered and evaluated. The tool can be accessed at

open areas. The more complex the topography, the more cameras required
to provide useful coverage. The time of day may also matter; if a surveillance camera system is to be employed at night, a low-light-level camera
may be required.
The next step in the process of adopting a new technology, after its
operational requirements are defined, is to define the requirements that
will enable the integration of the technology into an agencys systems and
processes. For example, agencies implementing BWCs should have policies regarding the retention of the video generated by those BWCs.
This step also includes defining the infrastructure that will be required
to support the technology. For example, if an agency wants to provide its
officers with access to streaming video in a mobile environment, does it
have the communications infrastructure to do so? Will the new technology
require new facilities? Are there, for example, facility considerations associated with the storage of the videos from BWCs or will the agency contract
with a vendor for storage services? Will the new technology require additional training for staff or will staff with new skill sets need to be hired? For
an agency implementing a BWC program, there will be a requirement for
training on BWC policy. If a police department establishes a social media
outreach unit, it may well be required to hire social media specialists.
The next step in the process is for the agency to define its specifications
for the technology. These include considerations of size, weight, power,
and performance within the agency. Required operational capabilities and
policy requirements have implications for the technical specifications for a
new technology; for example, the battery life of a BWC or the requirement
of a low-light-level camera. If there is an existing equipment performance
standard that meets an agencys performance requirements, the agency
should use it.
Once the agencys specifications have been defined, the agency should
compare alternative solutions. If a performance standard exists that meets
the agencys performance requirements, and there is a conformity assessment regime associated with that standard, the agency should use it to
compare alternatives. Using noncompliant models might put an agency at
risk should that model fail.
When comparing the costs of different technologies, agencies need to
consider more than the cost of purchasing the technologythey should
also consider lifecycle costs. Those include not only procurement, but also
maintenance, upgrades, replacement, infrastructure, and potential disposal
costs.
In comparing different technologies, agencies should consider if grant
funds are available to offset costs for particular models. They should also
consider if vendors offer services, such as buy-back or disposal options
that may offset costs.
Agencies should also consider if the manufacturer offers warranties. If
so, agencies should pay attention to what is applicable under a warranty.
Some manufacturers may warrant only workmanship, but not performance.
Finally, agencies should factor in differences, if any, in the training and
staffing costs associated with different models of a technology. After adoption, agencies should periodically reassess whether the selected technology solution provides or continues to provide the intended benefit after
it has been put into use. If not, determine whyis it a problem with the
specifications or that particular solution?and then take corrective action.
In addition to these basic steps, there is the need to implement effective community engagement and outreach strategies. To the greatest
extent possible, agencies should engage with the communities that they
serve when considering the adoption of a new technology, both to inform
the community members and to gain their input, particularly in regard
to technologies that can be perceived as having an impact on privacy.
Community input should be part of an agencys reassessment of whether
the selected technology solution provides or continues to provide the
intended benefit. v

CYBERSECURITY
A Call to Action
for Police
Executives
By Eldon Amoroso,
Senior Director (Ret.),
London, Ontario, Police
Service, Member,
IACP Computer Crime
and Digital Evidence
Committee
olice executives need to understand

four things about cybersecurity.
First, there has been a dramatic increase
in both the frequency and sophistication of
cyber attacks such as ransomware and ad
malware attacks that systematically target
police systems.1
Second, police executives in both large
and small organizations are responsible for
the well-being of their entire organization.
If their systems are successfully attacked,
the media will want the chiefs comments,
not those of an information technology (IT)
support professional.
Third, a 2013 survey conducted by the
International Association of Chiefs of Police
(IACP) and Canadian Association of Chiefs
of Police (CACP) showed that, while police
executives understand the danger and possible consequences posed by cyber attacks,
only a small number have had a third-party
audit, which is the most effective way for
agencies to test their cyber defenses.2
Fourth, while technology is playing an
increasing role in policing, IT suppliers tend
to be over-confident in their systems ability
to withstand a focused attack. In fact, one
recent study indicates that many organizations have a false sense of security.3
With the above facts on the table, what
are some next steps? Police executives
need to develop a critical action plan for
a review of their cybersecurity environments. The information herein will provide
police executives with valuable knowledge
as they strive to cope with a complex IT
environment.
The Problem
As well as the current, ongoing types of

cyber attacks that have been quite successful
thus far, new methods of attack are quickly
evolving. An April 26, 2016, investigative
report from NBC News highlighted ransomwaresoftware that takes over a system and
encrypts it so that money can be extorted
and the report suggests that the use of this
tactic is increasing dramatically:
Ransomware crimes on all U.S. targets
are soaring. In just the first three months of
2016, attacks increased tenfold over the total

entire previous year, costing victims more
than $200 million.
According to the report, that number
could be much higher, as it is generally
believed that many incidents of ransomware
crimes go unreported.4
Another rapidly advancing threat is dangerous malware placed in ads on legitimate
websites. Trustwave, a support site that
deals with computer security, commented
on advertising malware, stating that attacks
from these predators are growing. Dan
Kaplan, manager of content at Trustwave,
explains that malware has the power to
spread viruses throughout a system and has
the potential to turn even the most educated
user into a cyber risk.5 It is clear that the
cyber world is not getting safer.
When hacking started many years ago, it
was primarily the domain of a niche group
of technology aficionadosyoung people
who wanted to prove they could breach the
unassailable security fortresses of big organizations. Times have changed. It is now
organized crime that conducts much of its
business on the web, stealing identities, ransoming computer systems, and so on. Even
seemingly benign social movements have
used hacking to create disruptions for organizations perceived as threats to a movements
philosophy. The digital world has its fair
share of criminals and hostile players. What

should the response of police executives be?
There are a large number of priorities
for technical teams and support personnel,
whether they are internal staff or external
vendors. Some of the standard activities like
security can be inadvertently pushed to the
background for a new software installation,
for example. If questioned, IT people would
most likely admit that they struggle to prioritize tasks and that they cannot always
meet demands made for their service.
The accounting firm Deloitte recently
produced a Canadian cybersecurity study
based on more than 100 organizations from
various sectors.6 The Financial Posts Barbara
Shecter commented on this study stating that
many Canadian businesses have wrapped
themselves in a false sense of security when
it comes to resisting cyberattacks.7
The Deloitte study concludes that 90
percent of the organizations examined
feel protected from cyber attacks.8 Is their
feeling of well-being justified? Not according to findings.
Shecter went on to say that, of those
surveyed, only nine (less than 10 percent)
achieved the highest score on the following
three key measurements:
1. How secure are they?
2. How vigilant are they in monitoring
potential threats?
3. How resilient are they in terms

of effective preparation for, and
recovery from, attacks?
With only half of the organizations surveyed reporting a defined cyber recovery
process, it would seem that their feelings of
well-being are not rooted in reality. However, the article does suggest that CEOs are
starting to see the danger signs.9
The chief executive of the Investment
Industry Association of Canada, Ian Russell,
says, The cyber threat is far too sophisticated and serious to relegate it simply to the
firms IT department.10 This is a key point
that police executives need to understand
agency leaders should be as involved with
IT security as they would be in any other
security issue.
Hewlett Packards white paper entitled
Cyber Security Best Practices defines the problem with some startling statistics:
The number of successful cyberattacks in
the U.S. has grown 144 percent in the past
four years, and the rest of the world is close
behind. In that same time, the cost to the
average company has almost doubled.11
Still, many IT teams remain confident
that their cybersecurity posture affords them
an extremely high wall of defense. However,
engaging a third party to test those defenses
will discover if that wall is made from stone
or balsa wood.
Constant Observation With
FIXED LPR
Many have the misconception that an

attack (even a cyber attack) will be a frontal assault with sirens going off and loud
noises alerting everybody to the danger.
Cyber attacks are often just the opposite,
and the longer an attack goes undetected,
the more damage it can do.
The Hewlett Packard paper confirms the
risk of undetected attacks stating,
On average, advanced attacks now persist
in the network seven months before they
are detected. And the time to resolve those
attacks once detected has increased by 221
percent to 45 days. Victims suffer financial
losses, damage to brand, and damage to
customer relationships.12
Most IT support personnel and vendors
do everything they can to ensure security,
and many maintain it as a top priority even
if a system appears secure. Why? It appears
that attackers are growing bolder and more
dangerous each year. Add the security risks
faced through the use of ever-changing
mobile technology, and a lot of evidence
points to the need for a solid defense as the
only way to be sure of an effective security
posture.
A little bit of paranoia can be a good
thing. It doesnt mean one should be overly
anxious, but it is analogous to the officer
who believes the 20th alarm call in a week
is just another false alarm, and it turns out

to be a real incident. Feeling safe isnt the

same as being safe.
Responsibility
If a police executive was asked, What

keeps you up at night? would his or her
answer be cybersecurity? There was a
time when the head of an organization
could refer to a cyber attack as a computer
problem, and all was forgiven. This is no
longer the case. Mobile devices such as
smartphones have changed the rules. Their
constant presence and highly sophisticated
capabilities have raised the baralong with
raising the expectation that agencies be
able to prevent (or withstand) cyber attacks.
Over the years, Internet service providers have helped users become smarter.
They advise when steps must be taken to
ensure personal information stays protected by suggesting, for example, updates
to virus software and passwords. Day-today technology users may assume that if
they are practicing safe computing, their
local police agency is doing the sameonly
better. This applies to small, medium, and
large police agencies equally.
This expectation should not come as a
surprise. After all, police executives make
important, skillful decisions every day. Decisions like placing a guard on the evidence
room if the door is broken are easily made
Cruising Eyes With
MOBILE LPR
the vital nature of the contents in an evidence

room demands that response. Now, though,
computers have become the biggest evidence rooms. They can contain more vital
information in a microchip than what is
found on an entire shelf, which means that
chiefs must decide how best to protect these
electronic evidence rooms.
So what is an appropriate response to
threats from cyberspace? Police executives
should start with a dialogue with the people
who supply the agencys IT services. This
may be an IT director, a supervisor of technology, or someone at the city or state who
is providing assistance to the organization.
The Call to Action

Step 1: Start the Conversation
The IACP Computer Crime and Digital Evidence Committee has developed
an excellent tool to help police executives
open the cybersecurity conversation with
their IT supplier. The Law Enforcement
Cyber Center (LECC) Cyber Report Card
is readily available online and can be downloaded at no charge.13
The report card covers the main issues
involved in police executives cybersecurity needs and concerns. Police executives
can leverage questions posed in the report
card by speaking to their IT suppliers. It is

Cybersecurity
Discussion with
an IT Supplier

_v10_1509.pdf.

Plan a short meeting with the IT
supplier that opens a dialogue
about an executives responsibility
to provide overall security.

Ask for written responses to
questions in plain language (not
technical language).

Plan a meeting to discuss the
results. If third-party audits are not
included or already in place, plan
to include a periodic audit.

recommended that chiefs request a written response to the questionsa response

that uses straight talk rather than technical jargonto avoid confusion after the
discussion.
A large organization might have an inhouse IT director or expert who would be
able to address these types of questions;
in a smaller organization, it may be the IT
director for the city or a third-party organization. However, it is recommended that,
before the questions are delivered, chiefs
have a short discussion with the intended
recipients. This increases the likelihood of
their full cooperation instead of a defensive
response that might result from feeling like
their work is being questioned.
This exercise is certain to be more successful if the recipients understand that
they perform a vital service to the organization and that their capabilities are not
being challenged. They are being asked
questions because the chief needs to be
better informed, not because they are not
trusted to do their job. Police executives
are ultimately responsible for all aspects of
organizational security and cybersecurity
is part of the whole. Making it clear how
important answering this set of questions is
can indicate that a treatise is not necessary.
However, responses must make the case
and clearly communicate what IT suppliers
do and why they do it. If approached appropriately, it is not uncommon for an IT supplier to come back with suggestions to help
enhance security.
Though some IT personnel may minimize the overall threat faced, experience
tells us that strong awareness and ongoing
work are needed to keep organizations
secure. Police executives should make use
of the resources availablesuch as the
report cardthat will enable an investigation. A cooperative and supportive investigation always garners the best results.
Step 2: A Third-Party Audit
The second step in ensuring an agencys

cybersecurity is a third-party audit, which
can supply information and direction that
will greatly assist an organizations efforts to
enhance security. Often, the recommended
changes are merely software updates or
setting changes that are easily done and
inexpensive. Most important, however, an
unbiased third-party appraisal provides a
baseline for monitoring improvement.
Initially, an IT supplier may be the most
vocal critic of bringing in a third party.
Understandably, they might feel they are
not trusted and that their expertise is being
doubted. Once the IT personnel realize the
benefits of an impartial third-party audit,
however, they are likely to be fully supportive

of periodic reviews. After all, most professionals would rather be aware of an issue
and fix it than be surprised by an attack and
have to explain the overlooked issue to an
oversight board or, worse, the media. And,
in fact, an audit can take a lot of pressure off
an IT supplier.
An IT supplier cannot allocate all of their
limited resources to one thing. Their main
job is to supply support. Typically, there are
far more demands made of IT staff than can
be realistically delivered, and IT teams work
hard to balance all of the service demands
in the face of changing priorities. An auditor will highlight specifics that can then be
addressed, which is easier than trying to
find them in the first place.
An effective cybersecurity auditor is
fascinated by the techniques used by hackers to break into organizations. They have
to think like a criminal, and they are able
to devote their full attention to the task of
testing a systems security. An auditors only
objective is to find weaknesses in a system.
Once testing is complete, which may take
days, auditors are able to recommend ways
to fix any problems and bolster the security
platform.
Its similar to proofreading documents
its not recommended that a writer proofread
his or her own writing because his or her
brain will read what the writer wanted to say,
Capture Anywhere With
Portable LPR
not what is actually on the screen or page.

For the same reason, third-party cybersecurity audits are a more objective way to test
security. Their singular purpose is to find
vulnerabilities.
Summary
To recap, there are four important points

that will help police executives prioritize
cybersecurity.
1. Data show a dramatic increase
in both the frequency and
sophistication of cyber attacks.
Ransomware and ad malware are
highly effective, destructive, and
costly. Police systems are being
targeted.14
2. It is understood that police
executives will be held accountable
if computer systems are successfully
attacked in their organizations.
3. An IACP-CACP survey from 2013
revealed that police executives
recognize the risk of cyber attacks,
but only a small number of them
have employed a third party to audit
their organizations.15
4. While the use of technology is
growing in police work, IT suppliers
or staff tend to be over-confident in
systems ability to withstand focused
attacks.16
Risk is mitigated when direct action is strategically applied. The Cyber Report Card
will springboard that discussion with an
agencys IT director or supplier and start the
process needed to evaluate and strengthen
an agencys cybersecurity. v

Biometric
Identification
Innovation:
Iris Recognition
Iris recognition is the process of identifying people by the pattern of their iris
through the use of software and cameras designed to specifically collect iris
images. Using iris recognition is fast becoming a part of everyday operations for
a number of local and state law enforcement agencies and correctional institutions. (Courtesy of the FBI CJIS Divisions Multimedia Productions Unit.)
he Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) relies on its partnerships

with local, state, tribal, and federal agencies to collaboratively
guide courses of action when incorporating new technologies into
services provided to the law enforcement and criminal justice communities. This approach has successfully guided the development
of vital programs such as the National Crime Information Center
(NCIC) and the Next Generation Identification (NGI) systems. This
same concerted method is being used to explore several developing biometric identification disciplines, one of the most promising
of which is iris recognition.
Iris recognition is fast becoming a part of everyday operations for
a number of local and state law enforcement agencies and correctional institutions. It is the process of identifying people by the pattern of their irises through the use of software and cameras designed
to specifically collect iris images. Algorithms use the intricate structures and detail of the iris to conduct automated matching. Iris recognition systems have been deployed within local jurisdictions to
identify subjects who have been arrested and may be transported
within large facilities or to several different facilities. As more agencies adopt the iris as a viable means of identification, the need for a
national iris repository and search capability is clear.
To address this need, the FBIs Biometric Center of Excellence
(BCOE) began an iris recognition pilot in 2014 to provide iris biometric search services to participating criminal justice agencies.
The pilot project allows the FBI to evaluate iris technologies while
addressing key challenges associated with operational deployment.
Participating agencies are able to enroll images with booking transactions and perform identification searches. Results from the pilot
will help develop best practices in the use of iris recognition and
examine the return on investment.
By Brandi R. Meighan, Management and Program

Analyst, Biometrics Center of Excellence Unit, Federal
Bureau of Investigation
Background on Iris Recognition
The iris is the muscle within the eye that regulates the size of the
pupil, controlling the amount of light that enters the eye. It is the
colored portion of the eye, and its vastly detailed structure is highly
distinctive. That detail and distinctiveness are what make it so useful in biometric identification. For instance, while facial appearances
of identical twins exhibit a striking visual similarity, their iris structures will always have patterns that are unique to each of them. Like
fingerprints, irises are unique, measurable biological characteristics
that can be used for automated recognition.
Modern iris recognition was proposed over a half-century ago,
with the concepts patented in the 1980s.1 Since then, iris technology has become affordable, highly accurate, and efficient. Today, iris
recognition is used in identification applications by private industry,
border security operations, and criminal justice agencies worldwide.
Large-scale deployments occurred within the last decade in
countries around the globe. In 2001, the United Arab Emirates
began an iris recognition border security pilot that went fully operational in 2003.2 India began a national identity program in 2011 that
leverages iris data to search against large-scale databases.3
Several local and state law enforcement and correctional facilities employ iris capabilities in the United States. Many of these
systems are designed to work locally or with a limited database
because of the absence of a U.S.-wide system. While the launch of
independent systems provided benefit at the local level, expansion
to cross-jurisdictional searches could identify additional relevant
data on incarcerated subjects, such as warrants or caution indicators.
In addition, a coordinated effort by the criminal justice community
would ensure interoperability through the use of national standards
and best practices.

wanted persons, gang members, sex offenders, and subjects entered in the protection
order files. These NCIC data, along with
special caution indicators included in an
NCIC entry, are attached to the iris response
to provide important information relating to
the individual. Iris identification responses
currently return national and state identification numbers; a subjects name; and,
potentially, a mugshot. The pilot can also
provide criminal history data from the Interstate Identification Index, if requested.
Uses for Iris Recognition
Agencies participating in the FBIs iris pilot are able to enroll iris images with booking transactions associated
with fingerprints, append iris images to existing records, and perform searches with an average response time of
one second. (Courtesy of the FBI CJIS Divisions Multimedia Productions Unit.)
Recent years have seen increased interest

in iris recognition as a viable biometric identification tool based on scientific research
showing the accuracy and effectiveness of
various matching algorithms. The National
Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) has been instrumental in examining the science and technology that supports iris matching, overseeing a program of
research known as the Iris Exchange (IREX)
since 2008.4 The NIST has issued guidance
for the use of iris authentication, including a
2013 paper on the use of iris images for Personal Identity Verification cards for federal
employees and contractors.5
Iris Pilot Capabilities
With both user interest and NISTbacked research on the scientific underpinnings of iris recognition as a biometric tool,
the deployment of the FBIs iris pilot was a
logical step. The pilot provides not only an
immediate operational benefit to users, but
also a means for assessing best practices for
iris image capture and iris camera specification requirements. Participating agencies
are able to enroll iris images with booking
transactions associated with fingerprints,
append iris images to existing records, and
perform searches with an average response
time of one second. The two-year-old pilot
program currently averages 13,000 transactions per month with more than 425,000
iris image enrollments processed from
more than 30 different locations across the
United States.
The first step in the pilot was the creation of an iris repository to allow images
to be searched for criminal justice purposes.

The pilot repository currently contains
iris images from local, state, and federal
databases obtained during criminal bookings, incarceration, or other criminal justice proceedings. Iris images submitted for
pilot retention are associated with tenprint
fingerprints.
Users of the iris pilot have access to two
types of searches: (1) identification and
(2) investigative. Identification searches are
performed when the iris image submitted is
of high quality (e.g., the image is captured
by an iris camera in a controlled setting).
All identification responses include a notice
informing the criminal justice agency that
records may exist in other biometric or
name-based repositories.
Investigative searches can be performed
when controlled iris capture images are not
available to submit for searching. An investigative search returns a list of candidates
for comparison by examiners. Investigative
responses are designed to include a caveat
cautioning the criminal justice agency that
candidate identities should be considered
only potential matches or investigative
leads requiring further verification. Users
should not rely solely on the investigative
search responses as the impetus for any law
enforcement action. Instead, true identities
must be independently verified.
If an identification match occurs, an
automated query of the biographic-based
NCIC is launched in order to obtain additional information related to the candidate.
This cascaded search is conducted against
all NCIC person files and can help identify
Agencies are primarily using the iris

recognition capability for identity management purposes to identify wanted persons,
gang members, and sex offenders. However, potential uses for iris identification
searches include correctional facilities monitoring entry, exit, and release of prisoners
or tracking inmates during transportation;
supervised release process automation; and
programs automating parolee, probationer,
or sex offender check-in.
As prison populations continue to grow,
iris recognition provides a useful tool to
manage the burdens of inmate identity
tracking. One advantage of iris recognition is
that automated systems can effectively identify prisoners with minimal direct handling.
Prisoners do not need to provide biographic
information, display an identity-based token
(e.g., identity card), or participate in a potentially time-consuming biometric capture. In
fact, the iris provides a contactless capture
method, which is generally quick and has
the advantage of allowing collection while
an inmate is under restraint. The iris is also
much more unique than many other contactless biometric modalities, such as facial
images, providing a more reliable source for
identification searches.
Supervised release and probation officers may use iris recognition as a highly
reliable, quick, and automated method
for check-in of individuals on supervision.
Officers have noted the benefit of iris recognition for identification is that the quick
method allows more time talking with
the person and less time on the identification process. Sex offenders are required to
register with local authorities and notify
local communities in all 50 U.S. states and,
depending on their classification level, are
required to report to local authorities several
times per year. An iris search can be used in
these situations to confirm the identity of an
individual if his or her iris images have been
enrolled.
Private industry and some government
entities are already using biometrics for
access control to facilities and areas requiring
additional security. Iris recognition offers a
highly accurate, contactless, rapid identification option that increases the efficiency and
effectiveness of access security. Biometrics
can change the meaning of authorized

access from being about something you
have (e.g., badge) to being about who you
are (e.g., unique iris). This eliminates the
danger of unauthorized access due to lost or
stolen tokens, badges, or personal identification numbers.
Mobile iris recognition, used to identify
an individual in the field, offers an important application for the iris modality. Mobile
fingerprint identification technology is
already widely used by criminal justice
agencies across the United States due to
the substantial legacy fingerprint databases
currently in existence. As the iris image
repository grows, so will the utility of the
modality. Although mobile iris recognition
devices exist that can rapidly capture the
iris on the fly, the lack of a substantial iris
database currently inhibits a mobile iris service that would parallel mobile fingerprint
identification.
FBIs Iris Pilot Project
The California Department of Justice

and the Texas Department of Public Safety
were among the first state agencies to participate in the iris pilot and provide connectivity to local criminal justice agencies with
the ability to submit iris transactions to the
FBI. More recently, participation and submissions have steadily increased throughout the pilots use with more than 11 U.S.
agencies currently participating. Several
additional agencies are pursuing iris pilot
participation, and some current participants
are further expanding iris deployments.
Iris pilot participants execute a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the FBI
and work collaboratively to implement the
functionality.
In southern California, the Riverside/
San Bernardino Regional CAL-ID has fully
embraced the iris as the fingerprint of the
future for rapid identification. Both the
Riverside County Sheriff-Coroner Department and the San Bernardino County
Sheriff-Coroner Department, as part of
the regional CAL-ID network, provide
member law enforcement agencies within
the two counties with biometric services.
In January 2013, the Riverside/San Bernardino Regional CAL-ID began the collection of iris images during the jail booking
process, accumulating iris images from
nearly 300,000 arrestees to date. In October
2014, the San Bernardino County SheriffCoroner Departments CAL-ID unit began
submission of iris data to the FBIs iris pilot.
The iris data are included within the standard NIST-formatted booking record, which
also includes demographic data, finger- and
palm-print images, and mugshot images. A
bulk upload of their existing iris records
was provided as well. The Riverside County
Sheriff-Coroner Departments CAL-ID unit
has also recently began direct submission

to the iris pilot and is in the process of bulk

uploading their existing records. Once this
enrollment is complete, the units contributions to the U.S. repository will ensure centralized and interoperable storage.
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is also adopting iris technology.
Currently, 10 state correctional facilities
within Texas are using the capabilities of
the iris pilot. Images are collected from
inmates incarcerated at these facilities, and
iris searches are conducted as a part of the
release process. More than 79,000 iris transactions have been conducted by the TDCJ
correctional facilities since they began participation in the iris pilot.
The U.S. Border Patrol, realizing the
potential benefit of this biometric modality, previously conducted their own iris
pilot. They now have nine locations across
the United States participating in the FBIs
iris pilot. Other agencies that have signed
an MOU to participate or are providing iris
images to the iris pilot are the Missouri State
Highway Patrol, Rhode Island State Police,
U.S. Probation, Department of Defense, and
the U.S. Marshals Service.
The Joint Automated Booking System
(JABS) of the Department of Justice supports
the connectivity of federal agencies to the FBI
Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS)
Division for the submission of biometric
and booking data. Prior to the FBIs iris pilot,
JABS did not support iris image submission.
However, multiple federal agencies formally
requested JABS upgrade to pass iris transactions. As a result, JABS reprioritized internal initiatives to accommodate these users.
JABS has already completed the programming necessary to support the enrollment of
iris images and plans to support iris search
requests.
Quality Matters

As with other biometrics, the quality of

the iris images directly impacts the algorithms performance. This is true of both the
initial image enrolled into the repository as
well as the image collected for search against
that repository at a later date. The better the
quality of the images used, the better the
results. Within the biometrics community,
efforts exist to develop iris image capture
best practices and an iris image quality metric that correlates directly with the performance of available matchers.
NIST has developed the following, recommended materials: a report, IREX V: Guidance for Iris Image Collection; instructional
slides, Best Practices for Iris Image Capture; and

matching will complement other biometrics such as fingerprints and has the ability
to make identifications in situations where
fingerprints and other biometrics cannot
(e.g., low-quality fingerprints and facial
images). With the possibility of easy use
and high accuracy, iris technology may be
the biometric identifier that criminal justice
agencies should consider integrating into
everyday operations, based on these key
discoveries:
Iris technology is quickly proving to
be a hygienic, accurate, and effective
tool for the rapid identification of
persons.
The iris, as a biometric identifier, can
provide law enforcement with an
additional means for identification.
Growth of the iris repository
increases the usefulness in both
investigations and enhancing officer
safety.
Mobile recognition, the ability to
identify an individual in the field,
offers an important future application
for the iris modality.
The FBIs CJIS Advisory Process is based
on the concept that close collaboration on

Practices
M
any law enforcement organizations

continue to struggle with development of evidence-based policies and practices, and some still question the actual
validity of the endeavor. To some degree,
this is understandable, considering the
thousands of police organizations within
the United States and the disparity of
resources among them. Across the profession, law enforcement leaders tend to
either discount academia outright or, at
best, struggle to translate its findings into
real applications. The Leesburg, Virginia,
Police Department continues to endure the
process of developing and implementing
evidence-based policing, which remains

challenging despite initial positive results.
The following is a synopsis of its use of evidence-influenced policy to promote crime
control, community trust, and legitimacy.
Various models and concepts exist
for developing evidence-based practices,
including the research-based practitioner
model, the embedded research model, and
the organizational excellence model.1 In the
research-based practitioner model, the practitioner (e.g., law enforcement officer) is
responsible for acquiring and implementing
evidence-based knowledge and determining whether or not and how to incorporate
the knowledge into practice. For the embedded research model, evidence-based knowledge is infused in organizational systems by
senior administrators (e.g., law enforcement
leaders or city management) and does not
involve the awareness of the practitioner
responsible for executing relevant practices. The organizational excellence model
requires general acceptance of evidencebased knowledge at all levels of the organization (leaders and officers) and relies on
all stakeholders participation and input to
validate relevant practices, thereby expanding the evidence-based knowledge in the
local context. Resources available to the law
enforcement organization and the locality
in which it operates are key factors in determining which model would be the most
appropriate and effective. All things being
equal, the organizational excellence model
is the one that best incorporates the use of
evidence-based practices and local experience of the organization, marrying science
and craft.2
Historically, the Leesburg Police Department (LPD) tended to adhere to the researchbased practitioner model and embedded
research model. Senior staff would direct
the implementation of practices and policies
based on their own research or researchbased practices from outside sources (U.S.
Department of Justice, National Institute
of Justice, etc.). Success or failure of these
practices tended to rely more on endorsement from opinion leaders than their merit.
Such was the case in 2012, when the LPD
experienced a sustained increase in property
crime while all other crimes remained flat
or were decreasing. Initial analysis identified shoplifting and related crimes as the primary offenses driving the increase (Figures
1 and 2).
The Crime and Traffic Accountability
Program (CTAP) is used by the LPD to identify emerging quality-of-life issues and crime
trends. Sergeants and higher ranks attend
monthly meetings to review these matters, discuss allocation of police resources
to address issues, and implement a coordinated response. Subsequent meetings
review the effectiveness of the responses,
along with new matters. The initial response
to the shoplifting trend was to adopt a zerotolerance approach that relied on saturation
patrols of the retail areas and emphasized
a rapid response to reported shoplifting
offenses. This approach yielded increased
complaints of overbearing officers during
contacts with the public (both persons of
interests and complainants). Most officers
lacked the motivation to go beyond simply taking a report to docu- Figure 1: Reported crime distribution comparison of Part I.
ment the reported crimes. The officers had become disenfranchised
upon learning that many of the stores had corporate policies that
precluded them from supporting prosecution, and the retailers
became leery of the officers out of fear of being identified as a witRape
ness responsible for the intimidating police intervention in the presence of their patrons. Fundamentally, the LPD failed to understand
the nature of the shoplifting problemso the failed intervention,
Robbery
while perplexing at the time, should not have been a surprise. A
new approach was needed.
Around the same time, the idea of evidence-based policing was
being explored by a few commanders within the LPD. In light of Auto Theft
the failed initial response to the shoplifting trend, a decision was
made to step back from the problem and explore an evidence-based
Larceny
approach.
Prior to investing already limited resources into detailed analysis
of only shoplifting offenses, a more general macro analysis of the
crime across Leesburg was completed to identify micro hotspots
Homicide
(Figure 3). Part 1 crimes occurring from 2009 to 2011 were geocoded
along street centerlines with the aggregate joined to each street
segment to determine crime concentration. The associated street
Burglary
segments were then ranked by crime concentration (i.e., highest
frequency of Part 1 crimes). One street segment among Leesburgs
249 miles of road surfaces had a total of 308 Part 1 crimes reported.3 Aggr. Assault
This equates to 15.53 percent of all reported Part 1 crimes over the
three-year period. The street segment was in the 200 block of Fort
Evans Road NE, which is the location of a retail outlet mall. The

Part 1 crimes for this period were then filtered to include only those
crimes occurring at the outlet mall to reveal that 197 of the 308 (64

percent) reported crimes at this location were shoplifting offenses.

2009
This validated the micro-hotspot analytical process and verified that
the outlet mall was a crime generator. This defined the where of
the crime problem, but additional analyses were required to define
the specific offenses.
To understand the law enforcement challenges in reducing
shoplifting, internal and external surveys were completed. Internally, officers and supervisors identified two primary issues. The Figure 2: Larceny crimes for Leesburg, VA, 20092011.
first was the lack of success identifying the entire organized retail
crime (ORC) group. Patrol officers would respond to the initial store
and make sequential contacts as other victim stores were identified,
which often resulted in some or all of the offenders evading contact.
All Other
The second issue was that significant patrol resources were utilized

to document the initial incident through initial reporting, inventorying and returning property, and processing prisoners. This

officers and detectives. Informal polling of other agencies found
that the prevailing practice was still catch-as-catch-can, with only
limited use of intelligence-based policing to target known repeat
offenders.
An online survey was created to solicit input from the retailers at

the outlet mall to assess their perspective on the shoplifting offenses, Motor Vehicle
as well as their willingness to work with law enforcement to identify
a solution. The survey ensured the anonymity of the responders in
order to encourage participation. During the course of their directed
patrols, uniformed officers personally delivered postcard invitations

ally had a favorable impression of the Leesburg Police Department.
The perceived apathy to the shoplifting was actually fear of violating
their corporate policies. The retailers all knew or believed that they
were victims of shoplifting on a daily or weekly basis and were frustrated by either not detecting the thefts when they occurred or by Shoplifting
being prohibited from reporting those that were. Electronic area surveillance tags (EAS) and closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems

Following the survey, retailers revealed

that the retail industry refers to the loss of
inventory through crime and administrative error as shrink. Several brands shared
their shrink data with the Leesburg Police
Department. One Leesburg store led its
entire brand (all U.S. stores) in shrink for
2011 and was on track to do the same in
2012. The Global Retail Theft Barometer
(GRTF) provides estimates for the retail
industry on what percentage of shrink is
attributed to shoplifting, internal theft,
administrative error, and so forth. In 2011,
the amount of shrink attributed to shoplifting in North America was 36 percent.4
Surprising, when the amount of shrink
attributed to shoplifting was compared
with the thefts reported to the police, only
.01 percent and 1.95 percent of thefts were
detected and reported in 2010 and 2011
respectively (Figure 4).
A study of the cost of the shoplifting
offenses found further disparity for incidents at the retail outlets. The average value
of merchandise taken during shoplifting
crimes in the Commonwealth of Virginia
was relatively stable. Losses of $225 in
2009, $168 in 2010, and $199 in 2011 were
reported statewide.5 During the same time
period, shoplifting losses in Leesburg incidents increased sharply from $181 in 2009,
to $409 in 2010, and $399 in 2011. Further
review found that the average loss per incident at the Leesburg outlet mall was nearly
double that of the state average, while all
other Leesburg retailers experienced less than a third of the state
losses (Figure 5).
A temporal analysis of shoplifting across Leesburgcomparing
shoplifting offenses at the outlet mall with those occurring at other
retail sites in townrevealed that shoplifting incidents at the outlet
mall were concentrated from Thursday to Sunday between early
afternoon and closing, while retailers located in other parts of Leesburg were targeted every day from mid-morning to early evening.
This information further supported that shoplifting at the outlet mall
was a problem distinct from community-wide shoplifting and warranted an evidence-based approach to identify specific situational
crime prevention strategies.
Finally, the residency of known shoplifting offenders was analyzed based on the target of their crime (the outlet mall or other
Leesburg retailers). Over 70 percent of all outlet mall shoplifting
arrestees were out-of-state residents, with an overwhelming majority of them residing in Washington, D.C., and the suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland. Conversely, Virginia residents accounted for
nearly 90 percent of shoplifting arrestees at all other non-outlet
stores in Leesburg.
Research on the shoplifting phenomena was used to qualify the
analysis results. It appeared that most retailers in Leesburg were
being targeted by opportunistic shoplifters (sporadically taking
merchandise for convenience), while the outlet mall was targeted
by ORC offenders (organized theft of merchandise in quantity for
resale or fraudulent return). Existing literature found that most
retailers believed CCTV, EAS, and private security to be ineffective
in combating ORC. Situational crime prevention (SCP) and uniformed police officers were found to be the most effective.6 This
study also cautioned that displacement was an undesirable potential
$300K
outcome of increased presence of uniformed police officers. Unconfirmed observations from the retail industry noted that stores with

higher customer servicing (the practice of greeting and conversing

with patrons to increase sales) generally had less shrink. The practice appeared to enhance the ownership of the store and discourage
shoplifters from offending there.
In summary, ORC incidents targeting the outlet mall in Leesburg were so prevalent that they were driving crime rates up for the
entire town and impacting loss to retail brands on a national scale.
A successful police intervention to reverse this trend would have
to target the prolific repeat offenders, discourage the opportunist
offenders without making arrests, and accomplish these goals in a
manner consistent with the police role of guardian.

Several courses of action were considered before deciding on

the final approach. Each option was best characterized by the
prevailing viewpoints as maintaining the status quo, zero tolerance, or evidence-based innovation. Maintaining the status quo
involved placing responsibility solely on the retailers. Supporters
of this approach did not see the value of devoting police resources
to shoplifting when the retailers appeared to be apathetic to the
issue. This option would likely see the continuing rise in ORC incidents at the outlet mall. The zero-tolerance approach was problematic in its own right. Prior attempts at zero-tolerance solutions
resulted in complaints about officers and were associated with an
uninviting shopping atmosphere. Even plainclothes officers conducting interdiction operations were unsuccessful in detecting
ORC offenders among outlet mall patrons. Successful interdiction,
if achieved, would still result in only limited success, as the perceived risk to other offenders would still not be high enough to
discourage them.
After considering the options, the evidence-based approach
was selected, and the initial skepticism that the department was

investing too much in a retail problem was overcome. The resulting ORC initiative began in August 2012 and ended in December
2012. It was based on three components: deterrence, detection, and
enforcement. Each component was essential to increasing the perceived and actual risk to would-be ORC offenders, increasing law
enforcement legitimacy and cooperation with retailers, and achieving sustainability with limited department resources.
Deterrence
Visible patrols by uniformed officers were assigned Monday

through Friday from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. based on the
analysis. Officers were to remain mobile (on foot and in
a marked vehicle), make eye contact, and offer a polite
greeting to everyone.
Field interviews were initiated only if specific ORC
behaviors or significant public safety threats were observed
by the officer.
Retailers were briefed individually on security camera
positioning, high-value product placement, and the process
for providing anonymous tips if corporate policy prohibited
formal reporting.
Semi-monthly meetings were held with loss prevention
personnel (LPs) to promote information sharing across
brands and with law enforcement. Target agreed to provide
site assessments to assist with CCTV placement for outlet
mall stores.
Detection
Roll-call training was provided by the Office of the

Commonwealth Attorney on key elements of shopliftingrelated offenses to improve initial investigation, reporting,
and case management.
ORC behavior detection and mobile surveillance training
was provided by Gap, Inc., to uniformed officers assigned to
the ORC initiative. This was an unprecedented action by the
company.
Remote viewing technology was deployed on an evaluation
basis to allow officers to observe CCTV cameras in real time
without interfering with the stores LPs.
Law enforcement access was granted to the private alert
network of one retailer, allowing real-time information
sharing of private sector reports.
Enforcement
The response practice to ORC-related calls for service

was modified. A supervisor and four officers were
dispatched to ensure sufficient resources and leadership
to verify information from the victim while locating
and detaining all offenders in a timely manner. Upon
apprehension of an offender, a detective was dispatched
to handle the initial report, property issues, and follow-up
investigation while uniformed officers returned to patrol.

Figure 7: Proactive Reporting.
Interdiction operations were scheduled based on shopping

holidays. Patrol officers in plainclothes paired with LPs to
patrol the outlet mall and detect ORC offenders. Dedicated
uniformed officers were sequestered off-site to serve as the
contact and arrest teams once offenders and their vehicles
were identified.

All aspects of the preliminary phase of the ORC initiative were

implemented from August to December of 2012. Because the ORC
offenses had rarely been detected or reported, an increase in both
shoplifting arrests and reports was anticipated during the initial
implementation, regardless of how successful the deterrence efforts
were. Initial success was measured by the ratio of reactive to proactive shoplifting reports. Reactive calls for service were those reported
to the communications center by phone from the public. Proactive
reports were those reported to the communications center by radio
communication from an officer already on the scene. In theory, the
increased presence of officer interactions with the public generates
more tips and reports from members of the public who otherwise
would not call the police to report a crime. Increases in proactive
reports were significant during these monthsbut not enough to
impact the year-end results. However, a sustained increase was
achieved the following years in 2013 and 2014 (Figure 7).
The ORC initiative was continued through 2013 and remains in
place today. The LPD enjoys increased legitimacy and collaboration
with retailers through an improved relationship with store employees. A network of retail executives, loss prevention agents, and
analysts on the regional level has been developed and is directly
responsible for the exposure of the LPD to private sector information. This information has been used to introduce retailers to law
enforcement representatives in other agencies and establish links

among regional cases across the U.S. East Coast. Among the brands
sharing shrink data, it was noted that the Leesburg stores are no
longer identified as problem stores by the retailer and no longer
require additional resources from the brand to curb shrink. Shrink
levels are now commensurate with those of regional sites within the
brand. The proportion of stolen merchandise captured in reports
has, in relation to those extrapolated from shrink values, grown from
1 percent in 2010 to 24 percent in 2013 (Figure 8). Reported shoplifting offenses and the loss associated with them, remained high
throughout 2013 and into 2014. An intangible benefit of the publicprivate partnership is that the brands associated with former problem stores are not reallocating the loss prevention resources to other
storesthey have chosen to keep them in Leesburg to reinforce the
achievements already made. In addition, minimal overtime was
used to facilitate the training and interdiction operations. The placebased interventions used for the ORC initiative are sustainable and
have been used to address crime control on a town-wide scale by
the LPD.

The first run at true evidence-based policing by the Leesburg Police Department was an unqualified success. Legitimacy
with the retail community was reestablished as measured by the
increased reporting of crime and increased collaboration with the
police while still respecting corporate policies of each brand. The
prevention practices and enforcement of prolific offenders yielded
a true diffusion of shoplifting within the region. Despite this, the
evidence-based approach was still met with skepticism by many
within the ranks. A major effort to improve receptivity among offi25% cers was undertaken by command. Supervisors were educated on
evidence-based theories and participated in a discussion group that
reviewed related topics of their choosing on a monthly basis. They
were encouraged to identify issues within the community and to
develop their own evidence-based interventions for implementation with support from command if resources were needed beyond
their squad. Endorsement of evidence-based approaches by opinion leaders and the capacity of decision makers to familiarize themselves with relevant research continue to limit success.
The Leesburg Police Departments experience with evidencebased policing is not unique within the policing profession. The
challenges of capacity and buy-in are universal, regardless of a law
enforcement organizations resources or local environment. That
said, this example is an endorsement for the organizational excellence model. Educating staff and empowering them to develop,
implement, and evaluate evidence-based practices at all levels of the
organization is key to overcoming these challenges. v

s technology advances, it becomes a

larger part of traditional criminal investigations that previously had little nexus with
technology. Law enforcement administrators should consider proactively encouraging their staff to develop an understanding
for a new era of potential evidence that can
ultimately include invaluable information
for investigatorsthird-party electronically
stored information (ESI). ESI from cloud
data and mobile device applications, more
commonly referred to as apps, can supply evidence that investigators can collect
by establishing probable cause through the
legal process.
The amount of ESI that people keep
in the form of texts, emails, pictures, and
documents can be staggering. The majority of U.S. residents, for example, no longer
access the Internet primarily via a laptop or
desktop computer anymore. A large segment of the worlds population has access
to and uses mobile devices to connect with
thousands of apps that interconnect third-
party providers who may have ESI of evidentiary value in almost any investigation.
How much ESI can be obtained through
mobile devices from third-party cloud application providers? Consider, for example, a
standard 16 gigabyte mobile device, which
has the capacity to contain the equivalent
of 16 truckloads of paper documents for
investigative review.1 However, an investigator will find that third-party cloud apps
can hold even more ESI (and potential evidence) than the standard smartphone.
Investigators may find that ESI contains
evidence that has not been collected through
traditional methodologies such as the execution of a search warrant at a physical location.
This ESI evidence can be obtained from a
third-party custodian via a search warrant,
potentially without the subject being notified. Even in light of the recent encryption
discussion, the tools and evidence available
to investigators who are prepared to seek it
appropriately can reveal information and
evidence that can allow the investigative and

judicial processes to be shortened, saving

investigative resources and time and allowing for more efficient results.
For example, investigators may be able
to see what suspects have on a phone, tablet, or computer, such as pictures or emails
that were sent minutes before a crash; the
participants in a reported email threat;
financial information such as the content of
a QuickBooks account; and so forthall of
which may help an investigation.
As more and more technology is finding
its way into the hands of the general public, including criminals, technology companies are working to supply storage to hold
everything anyone may want, and most of
this storage exists in the cloud. Simply put,
the cloud is a term that many people use
in reference to the Internet, but more specifically, it is a datacenter made up of servers (computers) that are connected to a
user through the Internet. Apple, Google,
Amazon, Microsoft, Yahoo, and AOL are
examples of cloud providers that supply
users with the ability to access and store
information via the Internet using specific
cloud account login credentials. Even public school systems, colleges, universities,
and government organizations are leveraging third-party providers for emails and

cloud storage for students and staff. Third-party ESI can contain the
emails, texts, documents, pictures, patient charts, and information
in accounting or medical software that is stored in some form of
corporate cloud. It makes users lives easierand it can make investigators jobs easier, too, if they know what to do and where to look.
The first thing many investigators ask is What third-party ESI is
generally available? In reality, third-party ESI is becoming common
and readily available to the general populous. Services like Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, and Google Drive allow users to store and
access a multitude of file types on a local platform (e.g., mobile phone,
tablet, desktop or laptop computer) while the files are stored elsewhere. Apples iCloud allows users to store and access most of their
own content, including emails, texts, photos, music, and data. A businesss accounting, payroll, and employment files may be held off-site
through an Internet-based software, but accessed from a computer in
a local office or home. Even TurboTax is now a cloud-based application. This transition to cloud storage is occurring as companies find it
easier to ensure operation and update software maintained online in
place of the traditional path of selling desktop software.
One very useful and readily available third-party ESI is email.
While it is the easiest of the third-party ESIs to identify and contains extensive information that many investigators may seek, it is
often overlooked. Emails, whether sent through social media sites
(e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Tango) or common third-partybased systems (e.g., Yahoo, Outlook, Gmail) are often overlooked as
they are not found at a traditional search site and might not be collected by digital forensic personnel imaging on-site. ESI might not
be located on any digital device being imaged at the search site, so
cloud-based email data may be left untapped, and accessing cloud
email may require a second round of follow-up search warrants.
As web-based technology is becoming more publically available,
many in law enforcement have left its possible uses in the investigation process untapped. This may be due to a lack of training, understanding, or guidance on how to identify cloud-based third-party
ESI. However, collecting ESI from third-party cloud providers can
be easily done. Once the specific ESI is located and identified, it
can be preserved and collected through the search warrant process,
potentially before physical search warrant operations take place.
If third-party ESI is obtained by the investigator and reviewed
prior to executing a search warrant at a subjects physical address,
the focus of how interviews are conducted during the search can be
narrowed to specific items known by the investigator. As a result,
subjects can be caught off guard when presented with facts and
images they believed were unknown to investigators, but that had

been legally obtained without their knowledge.
A sample interview where an investigator utilizes previously
collected ESI follows:
Investigator: Have you ever been to Miami in the past?
Suspect: No, never have.
Investigator: Why do I have a copy of flight information to MIA
airport? [shows email confirmation from suspects cloud-based
email account]
Suspect: I never took that flight.
Investigator: Are you sure? [shows GPS data from photos of
suspect in Miami, taken from cloud photo stream]
Suspect: Maybe I did take the flight.
Investigator: How well do you know John Doe?
Suspect: Not too well.
Investigator: Are you sure? [shows photos of the suspect with
John Doe found on social media]
Suspect: I guess you could say we were friends.
Investigator: Did you ever buy an axe, duct tape, or weapon in
the last month?
Suspect: Nope, never had an interest in those things.
Investigator: Are you sure? [shows a report of the suspects Internet search history from his mobile device]
Obtaining third-party ESI can be broken down into a three-step
process: identification, preservation, and collection.
The first thing an investigator needs to do is identify third-party
possibilities. This can be as simple as locating an email address on
a corporate website or social media site or obtaining applications or
documents where an email address is requested. Business cards are
another great place to obtain email address information that can
aid investigators in obtaining information in support of probable
cause. Email account information is not the only item that can provide third-party identifying information. Email addresses are often
used as unique login identifiers for mobile devices and their associated cloud apps.
Preservation requests and preservation orders are two methods
an investigator can use to get cloud providers to copy and preserve
ESI they wish to collect later via a search warrant. A preservation
request is basically a formal memo or letter an investigator directly
Figure 2: A snapshot view of the ESI collection process developed by the authors.
sends to the provider and a preservation

order is signed by a judicial official. The key
difference is that preservation orders can
be sealed. Investigators should contact the
cloud provider first to see if they will notify

the suspect of a preservation request; if so,
the investigator should send only a sealed
preservation order.

compose the management team for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of Inspector General (OIG), Office of Investigations (OI), Digital Investigations Branch (DIB), which primarily provides digital investigative and
forensic examination support for investigations of the HHS/OIG and its investigative
partners. OI/DIB provides digital forensic support for approximately 150 operations
annually and has been involved in collections exceeding two petabytes of data over
the past five years.
For the investigator, the collection of

third-party ESI is by far the easiest part. In
response to the court order or search warrant, the third party will provide copies of
the requested ESI to the investigator, often
electronically and covertly. Depending on
the ESI sought, investigators might find
the provided information to be searchable
and easier to review than traditional paper
evidence. The majority of the ESI collected
should be relevant to the case and might lead
to other potential co-conspirators, indictments, and additional cloud searches. These
warrants often can be renewed (monthly or
quarterly) to collect updated ESI for longterm and complex investigations.
Lastly, administrators should ensure that
investigators take precautions when obtaining and reviewing third-party digital evidence. They should request that the cloud
provider ships the ESI using an encrypted
device that is FIPS-140-2 certified to protect
any loss of personally identifiable information (PII) or personal health information
(PHI).2
As technology advances, law enforcement
agencies and investigators will become better prepared to utilize evidence found within
ESI on a regular basis and increase their
understanding of the treasure trove of information available from third-party cloud data
and mobile device applications. Investigators
who successfully utilize evidence in the form
of texts, emails, pictures, and documents
will be able to build cases that will result in
successful prosecutions while utilizing less
investigative resources. v

Forensics and Biometrics: Emerging

Technologies in Identity Operations

Programs, NAVAIR
Armed fighters in indigenous garb attack a squad of military police on a patrol. After the initial skirmish, the fighters surrender their arms and are detained by U.S. military forces, and a search of the
subjects possessions reveals falsified identification documents from various countries.
Biometric samples are collected from each of the detainees, transmitted to the U.S. Department of
Defense (DoD) biometric database, and compared against samples from all prior encounters. The system produced a positive match on two of the individuals, linking the subjects to a prior sample collected
at a location containing bomb-making materials. After the analysis of the available biometric and associated information, the subjects are nominated and approved as known or suspected terrorists (KST) by
the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC). DoD provides the biometric samples to NCTC, which
integrates the new biometric information with the already-known biometric and biographic information. NCTC then sends the files to the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBIs) Terrorist Screening Center (TSC) for inclusion to the National Terrorist Watchlist. TSC subsequently provides the biometric
data to the FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for inclusion in their biometric databases. Eventually, the detainees are released to a foreign government for adjudication and repatriation.
Several years later, a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) team responds to a trespassing complaint
along the U.S.-Mexico border. Two subjects are apprehended and biometric samples are taken at the border patrol primary station. The facial photograph is transmitted to the DoD biometric database, while
the fingerprints are transmitted to DHS fingerprint system (IDENT), resulting in matches against the
previously shared biometric files the military collected from the detainees that identify the individuals as
KSTs. Because the biometrics have been entered into the KST file, CBPs National Targeting Center (NTC)
immediately alerts the TSC of the encounter. Upon notification, the TSC advises the NTC to investigate
whether the trespassing act was an indication of a terrorist threat.

that have occurred over the last decade.
With continued conflict in the Middle East
and the demonstrated ability of ISIL to strike

responsibility, the need for advanced technology to confront these threats is more
apparent today than ever.
DFBAs Mission: Utilize Technology to

Deny Anonymity
In todays world, it is almost impossible

to do anything without leaving a biometric
trace. The Defense Forensics and Biometrics
Agency (DFBA) uses this to its advantage,
leveraging industry, academia, interagency,
and international partners to develop dualuse biometric and forensic capabilities.
These capabilities link individuals, materials, events, and places, denying anonymity
to adversaries worldwide and enabling the
detection and deterrence of illicit and terrorist activities.
As a component of the Military Police
Corps, DFBA is a U.S. Army field operating
agency under the Provost Marshal General,
the Armys top cop, that leads, consolidates, and coordinates forensics and biometrics military and business functions and
operations for the DoD in support of a range
of identity activities. In this role, DFBA supports the development of forensic and biometric capabilities that match adversaries to
their biological traces and biographical histories in a tactically useful timeframe. Three
specific programs that directly support
this mission are the U.S. Navys Naval Air
Systems Command (NAVAIR) Aerial Surveillance Tracking Engaged from Remote
Identification Assets (ASTERIA) and the
rapid DNA and next-generation sequencing (NGS) efforts being supported by the
Defense Forensic Science Center (DFSC).
Together, these technologies will enable
a wide range of law enforcement and military missions, from combat operations to
detecting and arresting transnational threats
and criminals, enabling the positive identification of enemy combatants and countering
criminal enterprises. As emerging technologies, these capabilities remain under development and are not yet deployed; however,
once off the shelf, they will revolutionize the
field and will provide operators a myriad
of multi-functional tools tailored to their
requirements.

identification of known or suspected persons of interest along national borders

and on U.S. military bases. Over the past
decade, continued advancements in multimodal matching technologies capable of
incorporating iris identification, fingerprint,
facial recognition, and DNA are increasing
the effectiveness and efficiency of biometric collections and individual traceability.
One such technological advance, ASTERIA, is currently under development at
NAVAIRs Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Rapid Capability Engineering & Integration Department. ASTERIA is
a game-changing tool that, once deployed,
will provide warfighters and law enforcement officers interoperable biometric identification; threat detection; and intelligence,
surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to counter KSTs, criminals, and illegal
activities associated with these groups that
threaten the safety and security of the United
States. Today, biometric devices generally
focus on one modality, and, if they are multimodal, they perform one function, such as
access control. ASTERIA reforms the current
system of operations by providing a multimodal set of devices designed to support
multiple functions, tailorable to many different sets of requirements. This not only amplifies its usability across the biometric mission
space, but also creates a sustainable model
that can endure the fast-paced evolution of

technology, thus saving millions of dollars in
research, development, and updates to new
systems.
ASTERIAs unique capabilities include
the use of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS)
and high-resolution optics, as well as longrange facial identification technology, to
increase the accuracy of identification from
a distance. These capabilities provide safer
operating environments for biometrics collectors by isolating them from conflict zones
and potential adversaries. These advancements enable more sustainable tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) by removing
the need for one-to-one contact to capture
biometric identifiers. Whether this technology is placed at a command ground
control station or operated via a handheld
device, ASTERIA can evaluate and rapidly
transition cutting-edge technologies into
field-deployable, operational capabilities
effectively and efficiently.
In addition to its ease of use and applicability in the field, ASTERIA provides highthroughput with a 98 percent accuracy rate
for up to 10 million enrollments through
automated, nonstop, contactless multimodal biometrics identification. Matches
are made roughly three seconds after the
initial collection. Once operational, ASTERIAs features will include live monitoring
of biometric collection points, scalable configuration, and user-defined subject categories and alerts, making it an adaptable tool
for the warfighter as well as for the FBI, CBP,
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and many law enforcement
entities.
ASTERIAs dynamic functionality provides military and law enforcement agencies a consistent framework from which to
quickly develop, evaluate, and deploy biometric identification, threat detection, and
video analysis. More important, ASTERIA is
able to adhere to environments and applications characterized by changing threats,
evolving requirements, and operational
needs. This is a stark contrast to systems built
to serve specific, well-known requirements.
This truly modular, open-system approach
is a plug-and-play solution with applications
at checkpoints, border crossings, airports,
sensitive government locations, forward
operating bases, and piers, ensuring accurate identification and enhancing security.
ASTERIA presents a paradigm shift in
biometric capture devices. As threats and
operating environments evolve and technology advances, this tool will provide military and law enforcement officials a level
of assurance that a subject is who he or she
claims to be. This ability does not yet exist

biometrics collection and an enduring capability for the next generation of devices supporting identity operations.
The Evolution of Forensics: Leaving

the Lab Behind
Within the forensics mission space,

DFBAs partner, DFSC, is leveraging speed
and mobility to provide advanced solutions
to processing DNA in the field. The Office
of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for
Research and Engineering (OASD R&E) is
supporting the development of a portable
rapid DNA screening device that offers U.S.
military and law enforcement users the ability to generate a DNA profile outside of a
laboratory setting. This profile can then be

searched against a database to provide links
to profiles on a watchlist. As the technology evolves, it will have the ability to analyze DNA evidence left behind at the crime
scene or on the battlefield and can be used
to compare DNA profiles to confirm familial
relationships.
This second-generation rapid DNA device differentiates itself from those currently
available based on its size and speed. The
new device will be light enough for singleperson transport and operation in the field
and will reduce the processing time of DNA
samples. The final prototype will integrate
and automate the extraction, amplification, separation, and detection processes
involved in traditional DNA analysis. DFSC
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)
Complementing the enhancements afforded by rapid DNA are DFSCs efforts

to develop NGS capabilities, which currently remain laboratory-based techniques.
Compared to traditional methods, NGS
techniques allow scientists access to more
information contained within the DNA left
behind at crime scenes or on the battlefield,
such as externally visible characteristics like
hair, eye color, and biogeographical ancestry.
This new information, which was previously
inaccessible to law enforcement, has the
potential to generate intelligence and investigative leads for operators.
The increased resolution of NGS over
current DNA fragment lengthbased analyses provides several advantages. First,
current technology requires multiple laboratory workflows and instrument runs to
interrogate one sample. With NGS, a sample is analyzed in a single workflow, providing the additional phenotype and ancestry
information without the consumption of
additional sample material; this capability is of particular importance when the
samples are degraded or of low concentration, as is often the case with forensic
materials.
The development, evaluation, and eventual transition of high-throughput DNA
sequencingbased techniques will enhance
a range of human identification and characterization applications, such as externally visible traits, biogeographic ancestry,
extended kinship analysis, and one-to-one
identification. These advancements in accuracy and in-depth analysis make rapid DNA
and NGS key components of future biometric profiling and the positive identification of individuals, including criminals and
adversaries.
Throughout its research and development, DFSC will continue to investigate
aspects of this enhanced capability to better
understand the benefits and limitations of
NGS, while focusing on efficient and userfriendly solutions to analyze and report
results in the field.

Real Technology with Real Impact

Until recently, long-range facial identification systems, UAS, and real-time DNA
analysis were the creative fabrication of
movie producers and filmmakers. Today,
these biometric and forensic capabilities
have a real and lasting impact on military
and law enforcement missions. Fingerprints, irises, palm prints, facial traits, body
scars, DNA information, and even voice
patterns have led to the accurate identification of KSTs and prison escapees, and the
prevention of innumerable hostile acts. As
these technologies evolve, DFBA will continue to work with law enforcement agencies on innovative biometric identification
and recognition technology to provide law

By Mary Riley Walker, Staff Writer,

Criminal Justice Information
Services Division, Federal Bureau
of Investigation
f criminals on the streets often have the

best and latest technology to help them
commit crimes and conceal identities,
shouldnt the officer on the street be equally
well equipped to fight these crimes? While
cost is often a factor for agencies when considering elite technology for investigation
and protection, one of the most useful tools
for detection and safety is readily available
and free of charge. The FBIs Repository
for Individuals of Special Concern (RISC)
works with mobile identification (ID)
devices to give officers an edge by providing information about subjects on the spot.
How RISC Works
Game
Changer:
The FBIs
RISC Mobile
ID Query
By tapping into a specific subset of the

FBIs criminal database, RISC exponentially
raises the bar on a mobile ID search. With
the addition of RISC, an officer in a possibly precarious situation not only searches
a states criminal database to determine
whom the officer is dealing with, but the
search also links into a fine-tuned portion
of the FBIs national databases. Adding the
national perspective to a mobile ID search
is a huge efficiency multiplier for officer and
public safety.
When an officer on the street takes a
mobile ID scan, the print is sent to the state
repository for identification. If the state
participates in RISC, then a submission to
the state repository is simultaneously sent
to the FBIs fingerprint repository through
the Next Generation Identification (NGI)
system and to a refined subset of the FBIs
National Crime Information Center (NCIC).
With approximately 2.5 million records in
this databank, this simultaneous submission multiplies the possibility of a hit on
a person of interest who may pose a real
threat to the community or to the investigating officerand the information is available
in less than five seconds.
RISC will provide one of three responses
to all match searches. The system sends a
red hit that provides a match to a highly
probable candidate. (A red response has
a high likelihood that the print is a match,
but cannot be called a positive identification without the confirmation of a trained
fingerprint examiner.) A yellow hit indicates a potential candidate match that may
be used as an investigative tool or lead for
further exploration. (It is possible that a yellow response could occur due to the image
quality of the original mobile print submission. The FBI recommends that, at the
This illustration shows the path of a submission. When an officer takes a mobile ID scan, the print is sent to the state repository for identification. If the state participates in RISC, then the submission is simultaneously sent to the FBIs fingerprint repository, which vastly multiplies the chance of a match. (Courtesy of FBI.)
officers discretion, a second set of prints be sent.) A green notification means there is no hit in the RISC database. Literally, in the
time it would take an officer to fasten a seat belt, a wanted person
could be identified.
RISC search queries include header information identifying the
submitting agency and a unique submission number, but they do
not include the subjects name or other biographic or event information. As a result, any prints sent in a RISC query are not added to the
FBIs identity records and the prints are not retained.
RISC is designed to search special areas of significance that yield
records of persons of heightened interest with FBI numbers that are
entered in NCIC. These areas include the following:
Wanted PersonsThese records are of persons with active
warrants, including immigration violator records. The impact
of quickly knowing that a subject an officer has engaged is
wanted is clear, but a traditional name search on a deceitful
subject would not provide the same results.
Sexual Offender Registry This registry contains records
of convicted sex offenders or persons required to register
under a jurisdictions sex offender registry program.
Known or Suspected TerroristsThese records are of
identified or suspected terrorists entered into the file by the
FBIs Terrorist Screening Center.
Other Persons of Special InterestThis category is an
assortment of records that are not in the other three files, but
they are of individuals of amplified interest due to national
security concerns.

DALLAS

WACO
AUSTIN
Currently, 23 states (shown in green on the map) and 3 federal agencies participate in RISC. States shown in blue, purple, and yellow are in various stages of testing
and implementing the RISC capability. (Courtesy of the FBI.)
A fingerprint search that doesnt include

national data is going only part of the way.
In 2015, RISC provided officers on the
streets approximately 29,000 red hits of
highly probable candidates that the officers
searches would have otherwise missed,
which translates to a large number of subjects who could have just walked away from
a police encounter instead of being detained
or arrested.
In addition to searching the four specific
areas of RISC, a query to the database also
searches the FBIs Unsolved Latent File, and,
if a hit is produced there, it is forwarded to
the agency that originally submitted the
latent print. This additional facet of RISC
multiplies the efficiency of the searcha
RISC query from one agency may eventually help solve a case at another agency.
RISC on the Street
The Chattanooga, Tennessee, Police Department (CPD) is an agency with more than
450 sworn officers serving a city of more
than 170,000 residents. With the workload
they carry, CPD officers need every advantage to get the job done and to keep their citizens safe. For that reason, CPD participates
in RISC. With a need to augment situational
awareness and increase efficiency in the
field, the CPD has deployed several mobile
ID devices. Officers report that the use of the
scanning units and the results they provide
are proven time savers. One officer called
the capability to scan, access the state and FBI

databases, and identify a subject on the spot a
way to streamline the whole process, cut out
the guesswork, and know who you are dealing with right on the scene.1 Officers either
catch the bad guy in that moment or are able
to release a subject and quickly move on to
the next incident. The following incident is
one example of the RISCs advantage.
On October 15, 2015, CPD officers responded to a call of unknown trouble. Earlier, there had been a threat of a shooting
at a residence and a call for backup. Notice
of subjects fleeing the scene was broadcast.
One subject was apprehended just prior
to the arrival of an officer equipped with
a mobile ID device on the scene. The subject, as is often the case in the field, had no
identification on his person. He was uncooperative and appeared to be responding deceitfully to questioning. As routine
procedure, the officers had already run the
name and date of birth the subject gave
through the NCIC with no result. Prints
were then taken on the spot by the mobile
ID officer and transmitted to the Tennessee
state repository where they were sent on to
the FBIs RISC to query the large national
database. A red hit was transmitted in seconds that informed the officers that the
subject had an active aggravated domestic
assault warrant. The subject was arrested
and booked. During a jailhouse search he
was also found to have drugs hidden in his
body. Without RISCs information, the suspect may have been released or managed to
evade the charges for drug possession.
Chattanooga Police Chief Fred Fletcher, a
hands-on manager with more than 20 years
of law enforcement experience, encapsulates
his departments experience with RISC:
Technology, like the RISC Program, is vital
to ensuring our department is utilizing all
available 21st century policing tactics. RISC
not only allows us to ID unknown violent
offenders, it also identifies possible terrorists
and sex offenders on scene. This tool keeps
our officers safe and the public safe.2
Law Enforcement Participation
Currently, 23 states and 3 U.S. federal

agencies participate in RISC. Agencies that
are within a state connected to the RISC, but
not participating, can tap into the power of
RISC for the price of purchasing the handheld scanning device (some models begin
at around $2,000 for a unit), some basic
training, and possibly an app for the officers mobile phones. Agencies considering adding RISC to their resources should
be sure to check with the law enforcement
entity that oversees the states automated
fingerprint identification system (AFIS)
when choosing a scanning device in order
to make sure it will work with that particular
states network. In addition, agencies must
use products certified by the FBIs Criminal
Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division
and found on the FBI Certified Products List at www.fbibiospecs.cjis

.gov/certifications. The devices listed have been tested by an independent testing agency to determine that they capture and transmit
fingerprint images that meet the NGI image quality specifications
for mobile ID.
Agencies in states not participating in RISC who are interested in
having this capability should contact their states law enforcement
executives, particularly those involved in mobile ID initiatives, and
ask if they have considered taking the step to use this valuable law
enforcement resource. Since all states have connectivity with the
FBIs CJIS Divisions wide area network, with certain adjustments to
the states AFIS, a state can become a participant and begin reaping
the benefits of the expanded RISC search. v

New Software Programs Help Police

Better Track Use of Force
By Scott Harris, Freelance Writer
istorically, many police departments and government entities

have not kept detailed use-of-force statistics, and, currently, the
most detailed databases on incidents like police shooting fatalities
are maintained by news organizations like The Washington Post.1
The White House has invited U.S. law enforcement agencies to voluntarily participate in more robust data collection and reporting of
use of force, but, as of April 2016, only 53 jurisdictions had signed
up to participate in these efforts.2
For various reasons, compiling these statisticsmuch less using
the numbers to inform training or other improvement measures
has proven challenging to many in the law enforcement community.
Many agencies dont track the use of force, and those that do often do
so in uneven or inconsistent ways.
Thanks to some new software programs, however, solving these
challenges may now be much easier than police departments realize.
Removing Guesswork Concerning Use of Force
The Police Force Analysis System or P-FAS, is a new software

program that collects use-of-force data, analyzes the numbers based
on a wide range of factors, and assigns easy-to-interpret scores
that characterize the extent to which each use of force was legally
justifiable.
Some systems look only at the frequency of force, but recent
studies show a high false positive rate with that because theres lot
of reasons for use of force, said Bob Scales, a partner with Sanford,
Olson and Scales, a police strategy consulting firm in Bainbridge
Island, Washington. Instead of doing that, we say lets look at the
context The heart of [P-FAS] is using a score based on legal standards. You make determinations on whether there was justified or
excessive use of force based on what the officer was facing at the
time.3
The resulting information can do much more than increase
transparency. The software, developed by retired law enforcement
professionals, informs and educates leadersboth in police departments and beyondin ways that can shape everything from budgets to policy.
It enables data-driven decision-making and evidence-based
policies, Scales said. This allows you to do all of this. They can
say hey, we want to look at our policies Youre able to answer
questions that people have about the use of force; you know whats
going on in your department. It helps with budget deliberations
and risk management with officers.4
P-FAS uses 150 different variables to comb through officer reports
and witness statements to identify use-of-force incidents. The incidents can then by viewed individually and sorted based on a variety of factors, including level of force, severity of the crime involved,
threat level to officers or others, maximum suspect resistance level,
and various demographic attributes. All the information can be easily manipulated in a series of dashboard displays and organized to
illustrate a variety of trends and patterns. You can sort each officer or case out based on circumstances to find high-risk or low-risk
cases, officers involved, and case numbers, Scales said.5
Launched in 2015, P-FAS is still new. Nonetheless, 20 agencies
are already using the platform, with a total of 10,000 reports serving
as the general baseline against which users benchmark their own
performance. For users, P-FAS is already paying dividends, making
for a smarter police force.
We had one agency where the officer had higher use-of-force
numbers than others, but all the incidents seemed justified [and] in
the proper context, Scales recalled. The chief talked to this officer,
who said I can tell you exactly why this is happening; its because
Im the only one reporting on every use of force. So they retrained
on reporting requirements around use of force, and all officers are
now reporting properly.6
Better Tools Now, Better Data Later
Another new software tool can help officers collect better

use-of-force data in the field and in real time. The SmartForce agency
management system, a software application that lets officers communicate inside and outside a department and digitally document various activities or processes, now includes what company leaders call
a High Liability Management module, which allows officers to more
easily document use-of-force incidents.
The High Liability Management module helps reduce the risks
and exposures of police departments in use-of-force incidents,
wrote Mariano Delle Donne, CEO of Adventos, the company that
developed SmartForce, in a blog post. The modules Response
to Resistance application sequentially tracks and reports on uses
of force. The information is searchable and allows for real-time
reporting for command staff or open-records requests. Body-worn
camera footage can be included in reports. All the information is
accessible on mobile devices, too.7
SmartForce provides a mobile platform that helps officers better
organize information and share it among one another. According
to Adventos data, one client, the City of Port St. Lucie Police Department in Florida, achieved at least a 20 percent decrease in crime
and a 40 percent increase in clearance rates, thanks in part to its
adoption of SmartForce.
The SmartForce Agency Management System makes many
law enforcement administrative jobs easier by converting paper
process to electronic processes in regard to use-of-force reporting,
complaints and commendations reporting, field training officer
programs, and policy acknowledgment, to mention a few, said
Adventos Vice President of Sales and Marketing Brian McGrews.8
Keeping Track of Training
Of course, use of force is just one area

where training software and programs are
available to law enforcement. In fact, with
all the options, tracking which officers have
completed which training programs can be
complicated.
LEA Data Technologies, an Oregonbased software company working solely
in the law enforcement arena, has various
solutions for different police needs. One of
these solutions is the Training Database,
an automated system for scheduling and
monitoring any kind of training. The software can also help departments stay on
top of certification maintenance, including
when a given certification is set to expire
and what is required for renewal.
According to Dave Broomfield, a retired
detective and the director of development
for LEA Data Technologies, the company
was founded by law enforcement professionals for law enforcement professionals.
Given that background, LEA understands
constrained budgets, Broomfield said. Thats
why the company keeps software prices
manageable, does not charge for software
re-licensing, and charges only $100 to $200
for annual upgrades, which are optional.
We took areas and special units that
we knew needed unique software to help
them manage their unit with more detailed

reporting and tracking, said Broomfield.
I have one captain from the New Orleans
Police Training Academy that has told us
that our Training Database helps make him
look good to his bosses.9 v

Overcoming
Law Enforcement
Data Obstacles
By Andrew Dasher, PhD,

and Robert Haynes, MPA,
University of Texas Police
Department Houston
MS (records management system) and

CAD (computer-aided dispatch) are acronyms that every police officer has probably heard at least once in his or her career.
Similarly, predictive policing, intelligenceled policing, and problem-oriented policing
are concepts that law enforcement agencies around the world use on a daily basis
to engage their citizens and combat crime.
The acronyms and concepts may seem like
standalone cogs in the policing machine
at first glance, but they are forever linked
by a myriad of data pieces that must be

obtained, integrated, and acted upon. The
problem lies in getting the pieces to interconnect with and communicate accurate
information to other technology items.
Data, in and of themselves, are not bad.
Police departments have always collected
data in some fashion. Data collection started
with pen and paper, evolved into communication over the telephone or radio, and
finally moved into varying digital iterations.
The ever-growing need for more and better
The way that a law enforcement agency

deals with data can either be a headache
or serve as a force multiplier to increase
efficiency and citizen interaction. For most
police administrators, it is probably a little of
both. The challenge is that data can become
overwhelmingand can also be a little
intimidatingbut correct data are the most
important foundational cornerstones that
must be laid before any new technology can
be properly utilized. A carefully considered
data philosophy and proper planning can
help an agency minimize data obstacles.
Departmental Data Philosophy
shared data has consumed all departments,

large and small. The drive to implement
emerging technologies into police departments is in full force. Citizens want to be
able to view crime statistics from their local
departments webpages, submit a police
report over the Internet, and download digital copies of their accident reports, all from
the comfort of their living rooms. The age of
carbon copy or handwritten police reports is
a distant memory (or unheard of) for most
law enforcement personnel.
Once new police chiefs accept their congratulations and settle in, they get a chance
to look around the agency they now lead.
Most of the time, they will notice that a firm
foundation has already been established.
RMS system, check. CAD system, check.
Laptop computers in the patrol vehicles,
check. What these leaders quickly realize
is that they have a plethora of data at their
fingertips. A 2001 study showed that law
enforcement agencies are becoming more
reliant on digital data as computer technology becomes more readily available.1 This
trend does not look to be slowing down
anytime soon with advances in portability, such as the creation of the smartphone,
and overall decreases in technology prices.
The infrastructure to receive digital data is
clearly in place in many agencies, but the
underlying data may not be ready to feed
into that infrastructure. Police departments
have to have an idea of the end product in
order to align the data properly.
End product design depends largely on
understanding the consumer. In the United
States alone, millennials now number 83
million persons and make up a quarter of the
total population.2 The youngest individuals
in this age group are around 17 years old,
while the oldest are around 34, depending
on the definition of millennial used. This
age group is interacting with data every day.
In fact, one of the specific attributes of the
group is that the members grew up with the
Internet and social media easily available. In
other words, they expect all dataincluding
law enforcementrelated datato be delivered in an instant, convenient, electronic
format. Think back to the days when citizens
had to drive downtown; park their car; walk
inside police headquarters; find the Records
section; wait in line; and, finally, get a copy
of their incident report. If an agency makes a
millennial go through this process today, he
or she will be less than pleased.
Citizens are not the only consumer group
to consider. Police administrators must also
design end products geared toward employees. As time goes by, increasing numbers
of millennials will join law enforcement
agencies, and they will expect to engage
emerging technologies in a way that they

are accustomed to. Terminal access and

handwriting may not be their first choice for
data collection methods. An administrators
philosophy on data collection and end product technology design has a hefty influence
on operations.
The philosophies surrounding data use
can help mitigate some of the trouble with
data. Administrators have to understand
that the policies guiding overall data use
and, specifically, the exact way in which
data are actually utilized have a direct effect
on desired outcomes.3 Data philosophies
help shape perspective. Think back to the
scenario involving millennials and police
reports. One possible reaction is that of
perceived opportunity. Perhaps the hypothetical administrator of this law enforcement agency could streamline the process
and deliver the data in a different format
that would save time and effort. However,
another reaction might be a feeling that the
police administrator should change nothing
and millennials should just accept the process as it stands.
There is nothing wrong with either of
those stances. Police departments come
in different shapes and sizes with different budgets and communities. Each
police administrator must have the discretion to push the agency in a direction that
best suits the organizations unique set of
requirements. However, caution must be
urged when dealing with leadership discretion. Historically, police departments
have proven better at altering the outward
appearance of change rather than engaging in meaningful internal reform.4 This
thought process is applicable to data. A datasharing philosophy that centers on placating the masses will not do much to enhance
departmental performance. An example of
this may be an agency that puts community policing or evidenced-based policing
on all their community handouts, yet does
not use data in a meaningful way to support
those strategies.
Police administrator philosophies guide
every aspect of a law enforcement agency.
Take the popular open door philosophy,
for example. Some chiefs believe that officers
should go through the chain-of-command in
every instance and that no line-level officer
should walk through the chiefs doors uninvited. Some chiefs believe that everyone in
the department should be able to meet with
whomever without fear. Those very different philosophies will dramatically alter the
mechanics and operations of a law enforcement agency. In much the same way, a chiefs
philosophy on data use will have a reverberating effect within a department. Aligning a
data philosophy with desired outcomes and
end users is a necessity.
There are three steps to aligning a data
philosophy with desired results. The first
step in the process is to understand what
the underlying policing strategy is going to

be. Will the strategy involve a focus on strict,
reactionary principles where police officers
primarily respond to calls? In this case, a
strong RMS and CAD system may be the
focus of data needs. If the strategy consists
of community policing principles, such as
active engagement and information sharing, then RMS and CAD data are the tip of
the proverbial data iceberg.
Simply looking at high crime rates in a
geographical area (gathered from mapped
RMS data) is not enough under the community policing model. Rather, properly
identifying the underlying contributors to
the crimes is key to stopping them.5 Those
underlying contributors are separate data
points that must be collected and analyzed. This expanded data set could include
the addresses of sex offenders, recently
released parolees, or liquor stores. Perhaps
the expanded data set would include an
enhanced intelligence or information repository component. Items such as intelligence
databases can be an intimidating thought for
some administrators, but these types of data
could prove irreplaceable when addressing
the needs of the community.
The second step in the alignment process
is to understand the organizations culture.
Knowing an end point or goal is important, but understanding

how to get there is just as important, if not more so. Aligning
a data philosophy with outcomes points the way, serving as
a compass in the process, and proper planning is the map to
those expectations.
Some police administrators will have no problem in integrating data throughout the daily
police workflows. In contrast, some police
administrators will experience quite a bit of
pushback if they were to fully integrate data,
especially data that fall under a new collection model or relate to information that was
not previously disseminated. The psychological contract aspect of police administrator and police employee relationships must
be maintained in order to develop trust and
understanding.6 Employees must trust that
their leaders have their best interests at heart.
Within the context of changing an organizational cultures view on data gathering and
use, the trust between leadership and linelevel officers requires a strong foundation.
A large part of that strength comes from the

communication between the different organizational levels.
The third step in the alignment process is
the prioritization of communication. From a
leadership perspective, the need to increase
data collection and analysis might seem
obvious as a department modernizes and
meets new mandates. From the perspective
of line-level officers, though, the changes
can look more akin to increased workload
and increased responsibilities with little
payoff. An organization that ignores communication feedback loops while focusing
primarily on goals is more prone to unintended consequences.7 These unintended
consequences could come in many forms,

such as decreased trust, decreased efficiency, and disgruntled

employees. The transition from data philosophy to intended results
might not be an easy one, but it can be made easier if the vision is
communicated in a meaningful way to everyone involved.
Following these three steps will allow a law enforcement organization to align its data philosophy with its desired outcomes. Before
proceeding down the path of achieving those outcomes, administrators must also properly plan for their data journey. The proper use
of data is not a work process that can just occur naturally overnight.
There are items to be considered and goals that must be established.
Planning is paramount.
Planning
Knowing an end point or goal is important, but understanding

how to get there is just as important, if not more so. Aligning a data
philosophy with outcomes points the way, serving as a compass in
the process, and proper planning is the map to those expectations.
Planning is important in every aspect of an organization, but it is
even more important when it comes to data integration and use.
One trouble with data collection and use is that it is not an instantaneous process, but rather an arduous journey that takes time. To
one day decide that data need to be used in a meaningful way and
then expect to have a fully functioning system up and running the
next day is short-sighted. Fortunately, or unfortunately, there are a
myriad of hardware and software vendors out there that recognize
that many law enforcement agencies struggle with data planning
and would be happy to assist them on their data journey.
The number of law enforcement agencies that have been sold on a
very expensive piece of software, only to find that it does not spin hay
into gold, are probably too numerous to count. This is not entirely the
fault of the software vendorsmany times the software does exactly
what it was designed to do, but departments have inadequately
planned for how the software will be integrated going forward or

how it will be expanded into future operations. Strategic planning can
help facilitate some of the discussions around data integration. While
strategic planning is not a commonplace process in some law enforcement agencies, there have been a number of successes in agencies
that integrate as many internal personnel as possible during the early
stages of planning.8 This allows for good communication and a sense
of buy-in and minimizes unintended consequences.
In addition to strategic planning, there are other ways to properly
plan for data integration. One way to increase the potential for success is to keep an open mind on what the data can do for the organization. It is very easy for administrators to focus on solving only
one problem. For instance, simply getting a count on the number of
traffic stops that occur in a month can be accomplished fairly easily
with a two-column form. However, leaders need to look beyond that
simplistic data picture. What is the goal of a traffic stop? Is it to deter
crime? If so, then maybe the traffic stops need to be plotted geographically so that they can be assessed for proximity to crime hotspots.
This is an over-simplified example, but imagine if a contractor was
hired to create that initial two-column form because all that was initially needed was a count. A simple count can be great, but planning
would have allowed the data to better align with broader goals and
aid in explaining the multifaceted value of a traffic stop more vividly,
providing a value metric instead of just a simple measurement. The
value measure can then be used to show the benefit the department
provides rather than just the workload it performs.
Using an outside vendor may be the simplest, quickest way to
set up a data system. This process can lead to other troubles though.
When using a vendor, it is very important to be mindful of siloed
data. In many cases, outside vendors set up proprietary databases
and algorithms that may or may not interface with other data systems easily. In some cases, pre-existing databases or future databases

can be integrated, but the integrations may have a high cost, in the
form of manpower and fees, attached to them. For some police
departments, cost is not a problem, but for many departments, it is
an important issue. When databases are not integrated, the phenomenon of siloed data takes place. The term siloed data refers to a group
of standalone data pieces that have minimal integration and line-ofsight. This situation is problematic; it is quite possible that there are
pertinent data across multiple databases that could add to the totality of circumstances in any given case. There is no greater example
of this than that of 9/11. Siloed data and the lack of integration and
communication had a negative impact on the possibility of preventing the incident.9 Having sight of all the puzzle pieces allows for a
better understanding of the complete picture. For this reason, siloed
data should be avoided through proper planning.
One way to overcome siloed data is to build an in-house solution. There are some very innovative and intuitive RMS out there
that were built entirely from within the ranks of in-house staff. The
Lincoln, Nebraska, Police Department is a great example of this.
Their RMS was built by a team of police officers who were tasked
with creating a solution that best fitted the needs of their department. Twenty years later, a robust and fully integrated RMS is proof
that in-house solutions can work, as evidenced by the attention it
has garnered from outside entities.10
An in-house solution has obvious benefits. The system can be
modified by an internal employee that is already on payroll and
does not require a nominal fee for modifications by outside parties. The system can be upgraded as new data components enter
the workflow and can expand and contract with workload variabilities. Finally, it can be tailored to the needs of a specific organization.
Off-the-shelf RMS solutions try to be one-size-fits-all software, but
they cannot be everything to everyone. It may seem like a headache
to hire and retain a gifted individual to build and run the agencys
data systems, such as an RMS, but doing so can pay great dividends
down the road. In the end, organization leaders need to be planning
for the future, not just the present.
Conclusion
Data collection and analysis can seem intimidating to some

people, but these decision-enhancing techniques are merely tools
that can be used to great effect under the right set of circumstances.
The first part of properly leveraging data is to align the departments
data philosophy with expected outcomes. This is accomplished by
understanding the foundational policing strategy, understanding
the departmental culture, and prioritizing communication. After setting the direction of where a department wants to go, the next step is
to plan out how to get there. Proper planning involves such aspects
as strategic planning techniques, but also can be aided by keeping
an open mind as to what the data can provide, avoiding siloed data
solutions, and exploring the possibilities of in-house solutions. In
the end, data use should not be viewed as an obstacle, but rather
as an opportunity for the enhancement of overall public safety. v

The Three Keys to Managing

Digital Evidence:
COLLECTION
ANALYSIS
SHARING
By Ed Davis, Commissioner (Ret.), Boston,
Massachusetts, Police Department, CEO,
Edward Davis, LLC
ore than 5,700 runners were still out

on the course when two explosions
rocked the finish line of the 2013 Boston
Marathon. Police officers, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), volunteers, and
spectators rushed to help those injured by
the explosions. So began an investigation
that wouldnt end until 100 hours later, when
the final suspect was pulled from a boat in a
backyard in Watertown, Massachusetts.
What happened during those 100 hours
between the bombing and the capture of
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev illustrates the degree
to which digital evidence is now critical to
police investigations.
In cases such as this, the wealth of digital
information available to investigators can
break an investigation wide open; yet, it
also poses new challenges for many police
departments where gathering, analyzing,
and sharing information remains difficult.
The case of the Boston Marathon bombing, in particular, shows the need for new
technology to tie together more information. In the end, authorities ability to collect,
analyze, and share digital evidence is what

will help put the bad guys behind bars.
Collecting the Many

Sources of
Digital Evidence
The Boston bombing crime scene was

complex and far-reaching, stretching more
than 20 square blocks. Nonetheless, within
minutes, authorities assembled a team of
local and federal officers to go store-bystore along the crime scene to collect video
evidence.
In an event of that magnitude, nothing happens in the field without someone
documenting it. Especially in the case of a
marathon finish linespectators, race photographers, and reporters are constantly
snapping pictures and shooting videos. For
someone to travel into and out of the area
without being videotaped or photographed
bordered on impossible.
Crowdsourcing potential evidence was
both a blessing and a curse in the Boston
Marathon case. In the first 24 hours, the
public emailed 13,500 submissions of photos and videos taken during the race. The
sheer volume initially crashed the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBIs) email
server. But, ultimately, this crowdsourced
information, coupled with CCTV video, led
authorities to the Tsarnaev brothers who
were responsible for the attack.1
The photos and videos allowed authorities to retrace the perpetrators actions and
whereabouts. With the assistance of the FBI
and hundreds of detectives from local, state,
and federal authorities working around the
clock, the Boston Police Department was
able to collect and process an enormous
volume of evidence and bring closure to
the investigation. Of course this story is the
exception, not the rule, in day-to-day police
work.
A Better Way to
Collect Information
for Investigations
While digital evidence can be key to

advancing a case, few police departments
have the budget or time for the often
manual work of collecting evidence from
the many disconnected systems that generate it.
For example, an investigator might need

custodian of records to obtain audio recordings, go to a local precinct to get a copy of

a recorded interview, or travel to the scene
of a crime to canvas the neighborhood for
CCTV footage. Data from other systems
(records management systems, computeraided dispatch [CAD], body-worn video,
in-car video, crime scene photos, and more)
also need to be painstakingly extracted and
copied to physical media. And, after all the
evidence is collected, the end result is often
a pile of USB sticks or CDs, each containing
different pieces of information.
However, there are easier ways. New digital investigation solutions are making data
collection more efficient and accessible by
enabling police departments to accomplish
the following:
Create a secure public portal
for sharing photos, video, and
tips. Theres a CCTV camera on
nearly every storefront and street
corner, and almost everyone
walking down the street has a
smartphone. Yet police departments
generally lack tools to crowdsource
visual information from private

businesses or the public. With a
secure portal, private businesses,
universities, schools, and other
organizations could register their
cameras and contact details,
enabling law enforcement agencies
to electronically initiate requests
for video when needed. Similarly,
citizens could securely share
information and media that could be
helpful to a case.
Use a data correlation engine to
automate the collection of digital
evidence. As digital silos continue to
proliferate, police departments need
to be able to automatically connect
to various content sources and use
data correlation engines to do a lot
of the analysis and legwork officers
and investigators are doing manually
today. Digital investigation solutions
solve this problem by breaking down
digital silos and correlating data
to help automate and expedite the
collection of digital evidence.
Automate management of requests
for evidence. In the early stages of
an investigation, authorities should
run every single lead to the ground,
but that doesnt always happen,
either because theyre too busy with
other cases and are unable to follow
up or because they lose track of an
evidence request. The results arent
pretty. In at least one case, video
evidence was actually recorded over
before investigators could get their
hands on it. To ensure better control
and follow-up on leads, address these
issues by not only automating, but
also tracking requests for evidence
and implementing a system that
notifies authorities when those
requests are fulfilled. Forget the
hours spent sending emails, placing
phone calls, filling out forms,
traveling to various sites to pick up
evidence, canvassing neighborhoods
on foot for video cameras, manually
collecting evidence, and copying
evidence to CDs and USB drives
piecing together evidence to build a
case should be efficient and timely.
Efficient Evidence
Collection Using
Data Correlation
Digital contentbody camera video, incar video, 9-1-1 recordings, and so on

includes date and time stamps as well as geotags. For example, many body-worn cameras
use GPS tracking. Most smartphones tag
photos with a GPS location. Voice recording
systems can be configured to capture automatic number identification (ANI), automatic location identification (ALI), and even

cellphones GPS coordinates. CCTV systems, used by most cities and
transportation systems, tie locations of cameras to digitized maps.
Using these common reference pointslocations, times, case
numbers, CAD incident numbers, keywords, and morea digital
investigation system can use its data correlation engine to search
all connected sources and databases for potential evidence related
to a case. Through the power of audio analytics, it can also use keywords or phrases to find 9-1-1 recordings.
With a digital investigation solution, all the investigator has
to do is open the digital case folder from the list of active cases,
review the suggested content (along with explanations for why it
was recommended), and then selectively add the relevant evidence
to the digital case folder.
Aside from the obvious time savings, automating the evidence
collection process significantly lessens the possibility that important facts in the case will be missed. One of an investigators biggest
fears is missing a critical piece of evidence that will later turn up on
social media or be presented by the defense in court.

Even with massive federal assistance during the Boston Marathon bombing case, the amount of digital information to collect
and analyze was overwhelming: data from cellphone systems
and license plate readers; physical evidence; hundreds of hours
of CCTV video; and thousands of crowdsourced photos and videos from private citizens. Dozens of investigators worked around
the clock poring over this digital information to extract clues that
helped identify the suspects and prevented them from inflicting
further harm.
Any one piece of evidence could hold the key to an investigation. But for investigators, the process of analyzing and understanding this information can be like trying to drink water from a
firehose. Today, data are so voluminous, and they are stored in so
many unconnected systems, that its virtually impossible to take
them all in, digest them, and absorb the relevant facts of a case. Still,
analyzing the data and drawing connections are the only way to tell
the complete story of what happened, who was involved, where
and when it occurred, and why it happened.
Perhaps no case illustrates this better than the Aaron Hernandez
case. During the investigation of the ex-New England Patriots football player, who was found guilty of murder in the death of Odin
Lloyd, investigators had to collect, sort through, and piece together
text messages; cellphone records; photos and videos taken on cellphones; CCTV video recorded at a gas station; video from Department of Transportation cameras in Boston; eyewitness accounts;
physical evidence (including shell casings, shoeprints, and gum);
and surveillance footage taken from Hernandezs home.2
Finding and gathering all of this evidence across 30 miles (the
distance from Hernandezs home in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, to Boston, where hed met with Odin Lloyd) were daunting
efforts that consumed tremendous resources and strained budgets.
Piecing all of this digital content together to tell the story of what
happened was an even bigger challengebut it made a difference
in the cases resolution.
Its not difficult to envision how cases such as this could be significantly aided by digital investigation technology that enables
investigators to quickly analyze evidence and connect the dots in
a case. Visualization tools allow investigators to view the evidence
on a map or in a timeline to see how the who, what, when, where,
and why all come together. Current cases can even be rolled up
into one map-based view to help an investigator visualize common modi operandi (MOs), patterns, and traits on a geographic
level.
Another complexity in the Hernandez case was the many
sources of proprietary video that came into play. Video systems
have very little, if any, standardization, making it necessary in many
cases to secure a proprietary codec to play back the video.
Police departments need an easier way to transcode video to a
common, standard format, so that all of the pieces of an investigation can come together seamlessly. And they need tools that enable
them to do so without impacting the integrity of the original file.
Information Sharing
Analysis alone wont bring a case to conclusion. Information

sharing and collaboration are essential for effective investigations.
This is especially true for cases involving homicides and gang activity, which often include task forces and investigative teams working
multiple angles. Larger-scale incidents, such as the Boston Marathon bombing, necessitate collaboration on an even grander scale,
at local, state, and federal levels.
Law enforcement agencies need to be able to share information
in an efficient, effective, and timely manner, not just among internal
investigation teams, but also with other agencies and district attorneys (DAs) who need evidence to support successful prosecutions.
Unfortunately, current procedures often work counter to the goal
of information sharing.
Roadblocks to
Information Sharing
One of the most telling examples of

information sharing falling short is what
happens at the end of the investigative process when the investigator turns over evidence to the DA.
After the investigator manually collects
the different pieces of evidence and analyzes them, the next step is to package the
digital case evidence for the prosecution.
Interview recordings, audio recordings,
photographs, in-car video, and documents
often are copied in triplicate onto CDs,
DVDs, or USB drives. This pile of evidence
is often reviewed by the investigators
supervisor, who approves the evidence.
The investigator then physically transports
the collection of disks and USB drives to the
DAs office.
If this sounds extremely time-consuming
and labor intensive, it is. But more important, this method of packaging and delivering evidence diminishes its prosecutorial
value, in the same way it diminishes its value
for investigations. When an investigator or
DA is dealing with dozens of files containing all manner of digital evidence, stored on
tens, maybe even hundreds of CDs, DVDs,
or USB drives, producing a coherent timeline is an uphill battle.
Yet assembling evidence in a timeline
is what makes it compelling. As the cases
discussed herein all demonstrate, the ability
to connect the dots and tell a story is vitally
important for the jurys understanding of a
case. As the volume and variety of digital
silos grow, this will become increasingly
importantand increasingly difficult.
Selecting the Right Tools

for Information Sharing
The right tools, however, can make this

Sisyphean task more manageable, allowing
law enforcement professionals to efficiently
close cases and bring justice to victims.
Digital investigation solutions provide
a better way for police departments to collaborate and share information. But not all
solutions are created equal. Law enforcement leaders can use these four questions
to sort the good from the bad. If the answers
are yes more often than no, theyre on the
right track.
1. Does the system alleviate the
time-consuming manual process
of copying and hand-delivering
digital evidence to prosecutors? For
example, does it enable the agency
to securely and electronically share
evidence with prosecutors, simply by
emailing a link to a digital case file?
2. Does the system provide
permissions-based access to digital
case folders where detectives can
view and manage collected evidence
and collaborate on building a case?
3. Can the system automatically track

who accessed whatand when
for each case folder and piece of
evidence to protect evidence integrity
and ensure admissibility in court?
4. Does the solution enable
investigators and prosecutors to
visualize evidence in ways that make
it easily understoodfor example,
geographically or on a timeline? Can
it be presented to the jury in the same
manner to increase the likelihood the
case will be successfully Prosecuted?
A comprehensive digital investigation

solution should streamline the entire investigation process from the collection and analysis of digital evidence to collaboration and
sharing.

The Exposition Hall

The IACP 2016 Exposition Hall features exhibits from more
than 700 companies displaying the newest products and services
available to the law enforcement community.
Help open the Exposition Hall during the ribbon-cutting ceremony on Sunday, October 16, at 9:45 a.m. at the entrance to Hall D.
Plan to visit the hall frequently Sunday morning through its close at
2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 18.
Navigating the exposition floor requires advance planning; the
following steps can help you make the most of the time available:
Build your own personalized schedule to help you navigate
the conference by adding items to your online itinerary
through My Itinerary, or choose your favorite exhibitors
using the IACP 2016 Mobile App or the list from the printed
program.
Review the Exposition Hall Floor and Planner to organize
your plan to navigate the exposition hall.
Plan to make at least two trips through the Exposition Hall.
The first trip is to locate the vendors you have identified
in advance and to identify new exhibitors that you want to
spend time visiting. On your second trip, you can actually
meet with exhibitors and collect product literature.
Use the Notes function in the IACP 2016 Mobile App to
take notes on products and services of interest; your printed
program also contains note pages.
Mark the spot where you stopped on your map if you leave
the Exposition Hall before completing the circuit, so you will
know where to start again.
Allow the exhibitors to scan your conference badge for their
lead retrieval database, which will expedite information
gathering at the booths.
Make the most of your face-to-face meetings. Discuss your
needs with the exhibitors; if they cannot help you, they may
be able to direct you to those individuals who can.
Plan to carry a lot of product literature home. The exhibitor
materials are important, and they may be useful in the
future. FedEx is conveniently located in Lobby D of the
convention center so take all the literature you need and
make arrangements to ship a box back home.
Schedule a demonstration or arrange for a bid to evaluate
products back home.
Allow time to discover new products and services at exhibits
that are not on your list of must-see exhibitors.
A Shared Plague: The Impact of Narcotics Around the World

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1:30 P.M.3:00 P.M.
This session will examine the impacts that narcotics production, trafficking, and use have in nations and communities around
the world, with a focus on the opioid abuse crisis and overdose
epidemic.
Beacon Technology
This year IACP is using new beacon technology to help us
learn what is most important to our attendees at the conference.
A random sample of attendees will have a beacon attached to their
conference badge. As they pass by beacon sensors throughout the
exposition hall and in the general session and workshop rooms,
their movements will be reported. Movement outside the convention center will not be collected. We will use the data to plan for
future events and topics, improve traffic flow at conference venues,
and, ultimately, provide a better conference experience for you. All
data will be collected anonymously and kept with IACP.

In response to attendees requests
for more time to access the exposition, IACP
has created dedicated exposition hours for
the first time. This dedicated time provides
you with a chance to explore the exposition
hall without missing out on other conference
events.

Sunday, October 16, 11:30 a.m.12:30 p.m.
and 3:30 p.m.5:00 p.m.

Axis Communications, a leader in network video, introduces the AXIS Q1615/-E

Mk II, an IP camera featuring i-CS lens.
The new intelligent i-CS lens directly
exchanges information such as its geometrical distortion and the exact position of its
zoom, focus, and iris opening. Thanks to
several motors inside the i-CS lens, zoom,
focus, and iris opening can be remotely
adjusted. Furthermore, the exchange of
information between the i-CS lens and the
camera enables easier setup of electronic
image stabilization and barrel distortion
correction, reducing the time needed for
setup and enabling easy installation. AXIS
Q1615/-E Mk II features scene profiles
enabling the installer to select between
Traffic Overview, Forensic, or Live profiles.
When choosing one of the preset scene
profiles, the cameras automatically adjust
exposure time, white balance, aperture,
sharpness, contrast, and noise in order
to obtain the best video quality for the
selected video surveillance needs.

Case Closed with Digital Investigative Solutions
By Tom Joyce, Lieutenant Commander of Detectives (Ret.),

New York Police Department, Vice President of Product
Development, Vigilant Solutions Inc.
he development of new technologies is moving at what feels like the

speed of light. New software, devices, and applications are changing
the way data and information are acquired, processed, and used. Just think
about itsmartphones now make it possible to have a computer and the
endless amounts of information on the Internet at peoples fingertips at all
times. In a fraction of the time it used to take road-tripping families to plot
their courses on maps, they can now enter their destination into Google
Maps, find the fastest route in seconds, and search for food and lodging, all
while cruising down the open road.
Increased efficiency of familiar tasks and an ability to do something
new are hallmarks of any useful technology. This is true for individuals,
governments, and business sectors around the world. Most important for
law enforcement leaders and agencies, it applies to technology considered
and used by the law enforcement community.
New technology solutions are making it possible for law enforcement
agencies to acquire, analyze, and make use of valuable data. Data have a very
specific law enforcement purpose: generate investigative leads and help law
enforcement solve crimes. License plate readers (LPRs) data and facial recognition, in particular, work together to create an investigative solution that
is helping agencies generate leads and solve crimes with increased effectiveness and efficiency.
LPR Data and Vehicle Location Intelligence
What are LPR data? The answer is very simple. When an LPR image
is captured, either by a stationary or mobile camera unit, it includes an
image of the license plate, which is subsequently stamped with the date,
time, and GPS coordinates of where it was taken. The unique LPR data
record is then stored in a database with other records that can be searched
by authorized personnel. The data are completely anonymous, personally
identifiable information can be linked to a license plate only by accessing the states department of motor vehicle databaseto which access is
currently restricted by federal law under the Drivers Privacy Protection Act
(DPPA).
Though the information contained in LPR data is straightforward and
anonymous, it provides extremely valuable vehicle location intelligence,
which helps agencies
generate leads to solve violent crimes and get criminals off the
streets;
search locations to identify vehicles of interest in complex crime
scenarios to help solve crimes faster;
protect their communities without invading the personal privacy of
citizens; and
share information across jurisdictions.
Historical and real-time LPR data generate vehicle location intelligence
during investigations in three distinct ways.
Virtual Stakeout: Filtering data by time, date, and location enables law
enforcement to quickly verify what license plates were scanned in an area
around a single event or series of events. These analytic capabilities are
particularly useful to agencies investigating serial or pattern crimes since
they can easily identify vehicles in the vicinity of a given set of locations
at a specific time. One officer can digitally investigate multiple locations
from a device, thus freeing up the manpower and resources that would be
required to canvas the given areas.
Analysis: Once a vehicle of interest is identified, historical LPR data
can be used to generate a ranked list of locations where the vehicle is likely
to be found. This analysis, conducted by the software, saves investigators
time and resources so they can narrow in on the most likely location of the
vehicle based on where the license plate was scanned in the past.
Real-Time Alerts: LPR data solutions enable an agency to preload
license plates for vehicles of interest into hotlists. Examples of license
plate hotlist topics include stolen vehicles, vehicles linked to individuals
with a warrant out for their arrest, and vehicles associated with an Amber
Alert. When a vehicles plate that appears on a hotlist is scanned by an LPR
camera mounted on a law enforcement vehicle, the officer in the LPRequipped vehicle, along with investigators looking for the suspect vehicle,
are notified immediately.
Real-time alerts not only help solve crimes, but also provide officers
in the field with valuable situational intelligence. For instance, consider a
traffic stop where the car is registered to an individual wanted for armed
robbery. The officer is armed with important informationthanks to the
hotlistand can act accordingly. This type of intelligence is becoming
more valuable every day as law enforcement officers are increasingly the
target of violence.
Vehicle location intelligence has proven its value to law enforcement
time and time again. Hit-and-run incidents, child abductions, sexual
assaults, and homicides are just a few of the crimes solved with leads generated from this solution. Whether a vehicle of interest is a block, a town,
or five states away, LPR data can help investigators determine where it has
been through historical data, where it is via real-time alerts, and predict
where it could be if they need to locate it. That

is the power of the data and the intelligence that
an agency can access.
The Evolution of Facial Recognition
Facial recognition technology, another

effective lead-generating solution, is currently
experiencing a new and exciting evolution. To
understand where the technology is today, it
is important to understand where it has been.
Far from the all-seeing eye that is presented
on television shows like CSI or NCIS, facial
recognition systems use four key components:
a camera, a print or template, a database, and a
match search.
1. A camera captures an image.
2. The algorithm creates a face print or facial
template.
3. The image is then stored in a database of
face prints or facial templates.
4. Facial recognition compares the captured
image (probe photo) against the database
to see if there is a match.
For law enforcement, probe images are
compared to a database of gallery images, generally mugshot photos. In order to find a facial
recognition match, the person of interest must
also exist in the database of gallery images. This
process is very straightforward, but commonly
misrepresented to the public by the media and
the entertainment industry.
Where this technology has failed investigators in the past is in the image analysis phase.
Before a probe photo is submitted for analysis,
investigators must determine if it meets the
criteria for a facial recognition search. This is
problematic because gallery images are controlled images taken in environments and with
equipment that generally produce high-quality
images for use in facial recognition systems.
They are taken straight-on, in good lighting, and
with the subjects eyes open. However, most
probe images obtained by law enforcement are
uncontrolled in nature. They often originate
from off-axis CCTV camera feeds, low-quality
ATM photos, social media images, and other
sources where the image is less than ideal for
facial recognition.
Until now, an uncontrolled image often
meant that investigators could not successfully
conduct a facial recognition search. Characteristics like poor lighting, heavy pixilation, low
resolution, and overexposure signaled a dead
end to that lead. However, a breakthrough has
recently occurred. Using specialized facial recognition enhancement tools, investigators can now
enhance select lower-quality images previously
unusable for facial recognition searching. This
capability results in more images conducive to
facial recognition searching and more likely to
generate a lead. To be clear, all facial recognition
matches must be considered potential matches
that require additional investigation by officers.

The end result is never absolute, but the technology can provide an agency with a very good
investigative lead.
Thanks to incredible innovation and creativity, the number of leads being generated is going
up, the level of frustration for investigators is
going down, and facial recognition is starting to
fulfill its promise as a lead-generating technology solution.
Conclusion
Vehicle location intelligence and facial

recognition are two distinct technologies that,
when paired together, form an efficient, powerful investigative solution. A solution with one
goalto generate quality investigative leads for
agencies. v

traffic SAFETY INITIATIVES
Engaging the DMV as a Partner in a Comprehensive Road

Safety Strategy
By Brian A. Ursino, MBA, Director
of Law Enforcement, American
Association of Motor Vehicle
Administrators
tate and local law enforcement agencies that

are actively engaged in activities in support
of their jurisdictions strategic highway safety
plan understand the importance of partnerships.
But how many law enforcement agencies think
to partner with the American Association of
Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) or one
of their department of motor vehicle (DMV)
members? It is important to note that, in addition to DMVs, every state and provincial police
or highway patrol agency in North America is a
member of AAMVA.
Along with the IACP and other highway safety
association stakeholders, AAMVA is a member of
the steering committee that developed the Toward
Zero Deaths national strategy.1 The steering committee partnership approach to the plans development contributed to a more comprehensive
U.S.-wide strategy than if it had been developed
by any one agency, association, or stakeholder
alone. Similarly, agencies implementing strategies
in support of national and jurisdictional traffic
safety plans are more effective when engaged in
partnerships. This is why including AAMVA, and
more specifically, the state or provincial DMV, on
the list of potential partners is important.
For example, at the 2016 AAMVA AIC, the

sessions offered included the following:
Automated Vehicles: Tomorrow Is Today
DMV Investigators: Collaborating to
Reduce Fraud
Drug-Impaired Driving
Human Trafficking
Mobile DL: The Pilots and Path to
Interoperability
North American Highway Safety
Strategies
Our Transportation Future
Roadside Screening of Cognitive
Impairment
Sovereign Citizens: Homegrown
Terrorism
These sessions featured high-caliber speakers representing motor vehicle administration and law enforcement perspectives. The
point is, most traffic safety issues, in one way
or another, not only are of concern to DMVs
and law enforcement, but can be mitigated to
some degree by bothor, most effectively, in

partnership with each other. Attending AAMVA
conferences is a great way for DMV and law
enforcement officials to cultivate partnerships
on issues that affect both.2
To understand which regional conference
may be applicable to a particular agency, it is
important to understand how AAMVAs North
American membership is geographically subdivided, as shown in Figure 1.
Education: AAMVA provides no-cost
and low-cost education opportunities to its
members. One example is the AAMVA Webinar
Series that offers at least one webinar each
month. Examples of past webinars offered
include
Ignition Interlock Program Best
Practices and Roadside Training for Law
Enforcement
Impact Teen Drivers
Legalization of MarijuanaHighway
Safety Implications
Figure 1: AAMVA map of North America
How AAMVA Supports Law Enforcement

AAMVA Conferences: AAMVA hosts a
series of conferences and meetings each year.
Each of AAMVAs four regions holds a regional
annual conference between May and October
every year, with AAMVAs Annual International
Conference (AIC) for its entire North American membership held each August. The AIC
is intended primarily for executive-level DMV,
state law enforcement members, and AAMVA
associate members. In addition, AAMVA hosts
a workshop and Law Institute in the spring that
is primarily for the mid-level managers from
throughout its North American membership.
How is this relevant? These conferences offer
a unique opportunity for law enforcement to network with their DMV counterparts while attending sessions where both can engage in synergistic
discussions on issues of mutual concern.

NMVTIS: An Improved (Auto Theft and

Fraud) Tool for Law Enforcement
Partner Program Highlight: IACP National
Law Enforcement Challenge Awards
Another educational opportunity exists with
the AAMVA Fraud Detection and Remediation
(FDR) training. With training modules that
address a variety of topics, Level 1 FDR
introduces the basic techniques of fraudulent
document recognition that law enforcement can
use at roadsides without the need for expensive
forensic tools. By providing in-depth examples
and explanations of the types of security features
in circulation today andmost importanthow
to identify them, the courses offer the tools
needed to identify potentially fraudulent documents for review that might have otherwise
been accepted at face value as genuine. Because
the courses include a series of printable job aids
and quick tips covering essential concepts and
document features, those who take the training
will be armed with the fraud detection tools they
need. FDR Level 1 courses range from 30 to 45
minutes each (including a knowledge assessment at the end of each course). Organizations
can deliver the suite as a whole or choose to
offer only those courses that are of the highest
priority for their mission. FDR is free to AAMVA
members.3
Solutions and Best Practices: AAMVA
has three standing committees: Driver, Law
Enforcement, and Vehicle. These committees
are supported by AAMVA staff, but comprise
AAMVA, DMV, and law enforcement members
from throughout North America. Each standing
committee is charged with addressing contemporary issues within its area of oversight. The
most common method for accomplishing this
is through topic-specific working groups identified as a priority by each standing committee.
Priority is given to issues that are of mutual
concern to both DMVs and law enforcement.
The following are examples of working group
deliverables published under the auspices of the
Law Enforcement Standing Committee:
Best Practices for the Deterrence and Detection
of Fraud [2015]
Facial Recognition Program Best Practices
[2015]
Ignition Interlock Program Best Practices
(includes law enforcement training video)
[2015]
Best Practices in Reducing Suspended Drivers
[2013]
Improving ALPR Effectiveness through
Uniform License Plate Design & Manufacture
[2012]
18-Wheels & BUSted (truck enforcement
for non-Motor Carrier Safety Assistance
Program officers) [2011]
These deliverables focus on the Law Enforcement Standing Committees mission, which is
to inspire collaboration between Law Enforcement and Driver/Motor Vehicle Administrators
to improve highway and public safety.4 The
following are some Law Enforcement Standing
Committee working groups:
Autonomous Vehicle Working

Group. This working group, which is a
partnership among all three of AMMVAs
standing committees and is funded by
the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), is assisting
NHTSA in the development of Model
State Guidelines for Automated Safety
Technology in Motor Vehicles. The
NHTSA Model State Guidelines will
be followed by an even more in-depth
AAMVA document addressing driver,
vehicle, and law enforcement areas
of concern with the goal of ensuring
public safety and consumer protection
without unduly inhibiting technological
innovation. These deliverables are
expected to be released in late 2016.
DMV Investigator Integration Working
Group. This working group is preparing
two deliverables: (1) a strategy white
paper to integrate DMV investigators
into the law enforcement discipline and
(2) a resource guide to assist DMV and
law enforcement investigators when
investigating crimes involving identity
credentials, vehicles, and other fraudrelated crimes. These deliverables are
expected to be released in early 2017.
The National Motor Vehicle Title
Information System (NMVTIS) Law
Enforcement Working Group. This
standing working group has goals to
expand NMVTIS awareness and usage
among law enforcement and to improve
the NMVTIS Law Enforcement Access
Tool (LEAT) for assisting in deterring and
preventing auto-related crimes.
Disability Placard and License Plate
Fraud Working Group. This working
group will be developing best practices
to deter and identify fraud that occurs
during the issuance process and postissuance fraudulent use. This deliverable
is expected to be released in early 2018.
AAMVA Awards Program: AAMVA has an
annual awards program that fosters a tradition of
excellence in the motor vehicle and law enforcement community by honoring individuals,
teams, and organizations who have submitted
nominations in a variety of categories that have
been judged as exemplary in their respective
category.5 The following are just a few of the law
enforcement individuals and agencies recognized at the 2016 AAMVA AIC:
Colonel Tracy Trott, Tennessee Highway
Patrol, Martha Irwin Award for Lifetime
Achievement in Highway Safety;
Colorado State Patrol, Overall/Budget
Under $50,000: #cspfightsfatals marketing
campaign;
Washington State Patrol, PSA, Externally
Produced: 2015 TV recruitment
campaign;
Minnesota State Patrol, Video Production,
Internally Produced: Shattered Dreams,
Distracted Driving Changing Lives; and
Ohio Department of Public Safety,

Website, Internally Produced: new Ohio
DPS website.
In addition to providing individual and
agency recognition, this awards program promotes best practices and innovative idea sharing
in the areas of safety, security, customer service,
and public education and consumer education
programs throughout North America.
Conclusion
Although only North American state and

provincial law enforcement agencies are
AAMVA members, any local law enforcement agency, organization, or individual from
anywhere in the world can become an associate
member, thus enabling its employees to take
advantage of AAMVA member products and
services and be afforded membership rates to
attend AAMVA conferences and meetings. v
Brian Ursino retired from the Washington State Patrol in February 2010 after
more than 30 years of service, the last 5
