Help Us Advance Law Enforcement Wellness
NIJ is seeking feedback for an upcoming Criminal Justice Testing and Evaluation Consortium report that will provide a landscape view of application software for mental health and wellness in the law enforcement community. The report will highlight the vendors/developers creating these software products directed to law enforcement end users and other first responders.
Defining Technology-Facilitated Abuse
NIJ’s Term of the Month promotes research-based definitions of criminal justice terms. This month, we’re defining technology-facilitated abuse—harmful acts or courses of conduct facilitated through digital means that can compromise victims’ privacy and cause them to fear for their safety, such as cyberstalking, nonconsensual pornography, swatting, doxing, and sextortion.
Scholarships for Law Enforcement Officers
NIJ is accepting applications for this year’s Law Enforcement Advancing Data and Science (LEADS) Scholars program. The LEADS Scholars program supports the professional development and research capacity of mid-career officers dedicated to advancing policing through science. The goal is to produce research that informs policy and practice in policing.
LEADS for Law Enforcement Civilians
NIJ is accepting applications for the Law Enforcement Advancing Data and Science (LEADS) Civilians program. The LEADS Civilians program offers a unique opportunity for law enforcement civilians to partner with LEADS Scholars, Alumni, and Academics to use data-driven strategies and locally-tailored research to advance their agency’s mission.
Academics Can Apply to LEADS
The Law Enforcement Advancing Data and Science (LEADS) Academics program (currently in pilot) offers a unique opportunity for early-career academics who have worked on law enforcement projects to engage with NIJ LEADS Scholars, all of whom are mid-career police officers dedicated to advancing the police profession through science.
