NW3C will send staff Jeff Lybarger to attend with David Lewis from BJA, and representatives from IIR and RISS to present at the NSA Winter Conference on the topic called, "For Smaller and Rural Sheriff Offices; How Do I Work "Free" Into My Budget". The presentation is described as, "The foundation of American law enforcement are agencies with 25 officers or less. These agencies have the same issues as the larger ones, especially when it comes to their operating budget. There are just some items that will be a cost to any agency, but there are other items that are available for free; such as training, equipment loan, analytical services, resources, and technical assistance. There are national programs designed to provide free services to sheriff offices, especially when it comes to the most current training in the areas of cybercrime, investigations skills, de-escalation, intelligence, and information sharing. The Department of Justice has entities within the Department to provide free training, resources, and technical assistance to assist smaller rural sheriff offices to combat violent crime, assist victims, battle high-tech crime, and assist with investigations. Not everything has a price. During this workshop the attendees will be given an overview of services available to them for free. The presenters will also provide links to these resources for easy access."
