    Current Radio Program:

    We interviewed Laurie Robinson, Professor, George Mason University about her role as Co-Chair of the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing and results of their findings. Ms. Robinson is a former Assistant Attorney General of the Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs (OJP). Her three years of service in the Obama Administration, coupled with seven years in the Clinton Administration, make her the longest serving head of OJP in its 45-year history.

    Ms. Robinson’s Co-Chair was Commissioner Charles Ramsey of the Philadelphia Police Department

    On December 18, 2014, President Barack Obama signed an Executive Order establishing the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing. The Task Force seeks to identify best practices and make recommendations to the President on how policing practices can promote effective crime reduction while building public trust and examine, among other issues, how to foster strong, collaborative relationships between local law enforcement and the communities they protect.

    The Task Force was directed to provide an initial report on recommendations to the President by March 2, 2015.

    The report is available at http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/policingtaskforce.

    The primary recommendation: “The President should support and provide funding for the creation of a National Crime and Justice Task Force to review and evaluate all components of the criminal justice system for the purpose of making recommendations to the country on comprehensive criminal justice reform.”

    Special Announcements:

    Current Radio Program:

    The program dealt with state information exchanges regarding offenders on parole and probation and other issues vital to public safety.

    Leaders from Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia have been working to share information on offenders who move freely across jurisdictional boundaries.  To this end, these four jurisdictions have formed the Mid-Atlantic Regional Information Sharing (MARIS) Consortium to establish a secure inter-state justice information system that  builds upon, leverages and enhances existing state portals and uses proven national standards and tools.  These four jurisdictions, as well as Virginia and New York now exchange arrest information to identify those offenders on parole or probation who are arrested outside of their jurisdiction.

    Those interviewed include: Tammy Woodhams, Senior Staff Associate, National Criminal Justice Association; Mannone Butler, Executive Director, DC Criminal Justice Coordinating Council and Ed Parker, Deputy Director of Operations, MD Governor’s Office of Crime Control and Prevention.

    The program was produced by Bethany Broida, Director of Communications, National Criminal Justice Association.

    Current Radio Program:

    The American Probation and Parole Association (APPA), with technical expertise from SEARCH, provided assistance to the Interstate Commission for Adult Offender Supervision (ICAOS) through a cooperative agreement with the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) to develop and pilot an information exchange with law enforcement through state fusion centers. ICAOS represents the sole authority for regulating the transfer of adult probationers and parolees across states, including over 150,000 transfer request per year.

    Using Global standards such as the Global Reference Architecture (GRA) and National Information Exchange Model (NIEM), APPA was able to support the implementation of a pilot exchange involving the New York State Intelligence Center (NYSIC). Since September of 2013 NYSIC has received over two hundred notifications, on average 10 per week,  of potentially dangerous or high risk probationers/parolees entering the state of New York. These notifications are disseminated to local police departments throughout the state to improve officer safety and promote collaboration between police, probation, and parole agencies. ICAOS, APPA, and SEARCH are currently expanding the exchange to other states and state fusion centers across the country.

    Those interested in learning more about the exchange, or those affiliated with a state fusion center and interested in participating, should contact Adam K. Matz of APPA at amatz@csg.org or (859)244-8058.
