Title: Keeping Law Enforcement Connected: Information Technology Needs from State and Local Agencies

Summary: In an effort to assess criminal justice technology needs at the state and local levels, we conducted more than 25 individual and group interviews with criminal justice and law enforcement personnel to arrive at a better understanding of their technology priorities. We also examined the means by which these agencies commonly receive information on technology, including knowledge dissemination at the state and local levels from the National Institute of Justice’s (NIJ) National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC). The technical report outlines who we interviewed, what their priorities are regarding information and geospatial technologies and analytic systems, and how they are currently learning about these technologies. It concludes with recommendations to better align investments with agencies’ needs and to improve dissemination of information about how to best employ technology. As is typical for interview and focus-group studies, the analysis in this report is intended to be exploratory, surfacing agencies’ needs rather than statistically analyzing their prevalence. Nonetheless, what we heard from the agencies was strongly consistent and more than sufficient to draw preliminary conclusions. Thus, the findings in this report will be of interest to the Department of Justice (DoJ), state and local law enforcement, and technology developers supporting law enforcement.
