Redlands Police Department Assistant Police Chief Travis Martinez will share strategies for investigators on how to use Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) information to enhance criminal investigations.

The Police Foundation, under the National Resource and Technical Assistance Center for Improving Law Enforcement Investigations (NRTAC), will be hosting an upcoming webinar, “Overcoming Victim/Witness Intimidation & Gaining Cooperation in Investigations.”

During this reporting period, IIR, at the direction of the PM-ISE and in partnership with DHS and the FBI, began the development of the Enhanced Engagement Initiative. This resource is designed to identify elements and practices that are designed to build and enhance engagement among FBI field offices, fusion centers, and other field-based information sharing partners to address terrorist threats. As a part of this effort, a task team meeting was held on April 6, 2017, in McKinney, Texas. It is anticipated that the EEI resource will be finalized in the next reporting period.

The Jackson (MS) Violence Reduction Network (VRN) site requested support to host a homicide investigations management training. The Institute for Intergovernmental Research (IIR) was selected to fulfill the training request and delivered a three-day course with a team of four subject matter experts to 36 participants representing the Jackson Police Department and other regional agencies on May 1 - 3, 2017 in Jackson, Mississippi.
