    Current Radio Program:

    The program interviews Dr. William W. Sondervan, Professor and Program Director, Criminal Justice and Intelligence Management, Graduate School at University of Maryland University  College (UMUC) and Dr. Marc DeSimone, Professor and Lead Facility Member for the UMUC Leadership Program.

    UMUC’s Leadership Program takes middle managers within criminal justice agencies and places them in intensive training to analyze problems and generate creative solutions, some involving new technologies.

    The example used is the Baltimore City Police Department. Through the Leadership Program in Baltimore City there is a joint analysis of new forms of foot patrols, community engagement and use of new technologies such as predictive policing with IBM (predicting crime in communities in great detail) and the “pocket-cop,” which looks at using smart phone technology to track staff deployment in real-time, fingerprinting detained suspects while on the street to make sure they are not wanted felons and having data instantly available.

  • Interview with Assistant Attorney General Laurie Robinson-Office of Justice Programs-DC Public Safety Radio

    Transcript available at http://media.csosa.gov/podcast/transcripts/2012/04/interview-with-assistant-attorney-general-laurie-robinson-office-of-justice-programs-dc-public-safety-radio/

    Current Radio Program:

    The program interviews Assistant Attorney General Laurie Robinson.

    Laurie O. Robinson was sworn in as Assistant Attorney General on November 9, 2009. Ms. Robinson previously served as Assistant Attorney General at the Office of Justice Programs from 1993 to February, 2000. During that time, she oversaw the largest increase in federal spending on criminal justice research in the nation’s history, and under her leadership the annual appropriations for OJP grew substantially – from $800 million in 1993 to over $4 billion in 2000. At the same time, she also spearheaded initiatives in areas ranging from comprehensive community-based crime control to violence against women, law enforcement technology, drug abuse and corrections.

    Ms. Robinson served as Acting Assistant Attorney General and Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General of OJP from January 2009 until nominated by President Obama in September 2009. Since returning to the Department of Justice, she has overseen the implementation of the $2.7 billion in programs for which Congress assigned responsibility to OJP under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act; launched a new agency-wide Evidence Integration Initiative to help ensure science-based approaches in OJP-funded programs; and held a series of “listening sessions” with state and local constituents to learn what OJP can do to better serve the field.

    Ms. Robinson is leaving her post next month. She has been in the position of Assistant Attorney General for OJP for approximately 10 years; longer than any other OJP Assistant Attorney General.
