The emergency communications ecosystem can be supported by planning in advance, developing relationships, and implementing new technology where appropriate.

A new age of algorithms taking the wheel en masse is still some years away, but law enforcement must prepare now, an NIJ-sponsored group concludes.

Advanced Technology to Prevent Crime and Support Reentry

Courts face a technological balancing act: How best to use devices that allow individuals to appear in court remotely while preserving the right to a fair trial. A panel of court professionals examined the issue and recommended relevant research needs.

A new line of research envisions mobile devices tapping into artificial intelligence to make reentry more efficient and more likely to succeed for those reentering supervisors, their supervisors, and communities.

The North Carolina First Responder Emerging Technologies Program collaborates with the State’s first responder agencies to navigate the rapidly-changing technology landscape by helping to identify the problems to be addressed and leveraging relationships.

Recently completed research supported by NIJ, closely comparing different types of facial analysis algorithms — including a long-time law enforcement workhorse — reveals that high-powered, deep neural networks can deliver improved performance.
