Continuation of States, Major Cities and Counties - Regional Center
Note:
This awardee has received supplemental funding. This award detail page includes information about both the original award and supplemental awards.
This project continues the operation of the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC)- Regionals/Resource Outreach Center (ROC) for Major City/County and State Criminal Justice Agencies (those having 50 or more sworn personnel), with a "stream-lined" NLECTC Regional System, with staff distributed across the nation, working from "virtual" offices. This approach provides more value for less cost by optimizing regional outreach from a centralized, coordinated source, and realizes cost efficiencies through the elimination of redundant operations. It also leverages Lockheed Martin's current operation of NLECTC-National, which currently provides overarching support to the Regional Centers.
Other program structure advantages include the following:
-Consolidation of existing subject-matter expertise within the system to maintain continuity of operations as well as refocusing advisory group efforts on regional advocacy and technology needs/requirements development.
- Provision of greater access to a broader constituency base through the development of a single, system-wide marketing strategy tailored to meet specific constituent needs and the implementation of innovative, cost-effective Web-based tools to allow for feedback from constituents regarding marketing strategy efficacy.
- Identification and incorporation of region-specific needs into the National Institute of Justice's (NIJ's) research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDT&E) process while a the same time maintaining a focus on the needs of larger agencies, thus building new partnerships and enhancing existing ones.
-Coordination of regionally based NIJ research and development (R&D) expos (i.e., technology fairs) to receive feedback on projects and build new partnerships.
-Offering an expanded slate of national and regional law enforcement, corrections and forensics conferences and trade shows, collaborating with the Centers of Excellence to showcase their R&D projects at these events.
